What are you on about?
They've got plenty of access to the rest of the world. They're just too brainwashed/stupid/lazy to realise it.

This is good , why cant I cut and paste it to Word ?

pen prà-cha rát, phà-thai khŏng thai thúk sùan,

อยู่ดำรงคงไว้ได้ทั้งมวล
yù dam-rong khong wái dâi tháng muan,

ด้วยไทยล้วนหมายรักสามัคคี
dûay thai lúan măi, rák să-mák-khi,

ไทยนี้รักสงบแต่ถึงรบไม่ขลาด
thai ní rák sà-ngòp, tàe thŭeng róp mâi-khlàt,

เอกราชจะไม่ให้ใครข่มขี่
èk-kà-rât chà mâi hâi khrai khòm khì,

สละเลือดทุกหยาดเป็นชาติพลี
sà-là lûeat thúk yàt pen chât phli,

เถลิงประเทศชาติไทยทวีมีชัยชโย
thà-loeng prà-thêt chât thai thá-wi mi chai chá-yo.

First English translation

Thailand unites flesh and blood of Thais,
Nation of the people; belonging to the Thais in every respect.
Long maintained [has been] the independence,
Because the Thais seek, and love, unity.
Thais are peace-loving, But at war we're no cowards.
Sovereignty will not be threatened.
They will sacrifice every drop of their blood to contribute to the nation,
Hail the nation of Thailand, long last the victory, Hurrah.

Second English translation

Thailand unites its people with flesh and blood,
Land of Thailand belongs to the Thais.
Long maintained its sovereignty,
All Thais intend to unite together.
Thais are peace-loving, no cowards at distress.
They shall allow no one to rob them of freedom.
Sacrificing every drop of blood for the nation,
They will serve their country with pride and prestige, full of victory. Chai Yo (Cheers).

Third English translation

Thailand embraces in its bosom all people of Thai blood ,
Every inch of Thailand belongs to the Thais.
It has long maintained its sovereignty,
Because the Thais have always been united.
The Thai people are peace-loving, But they are no cowards at war.
Nor shall they suffer tyranny.
All Thais are ready to give up every drop of blood ,
For the nation's safety, freedom and progress.

I am not sure, that is the format it is in. Try another quote and then try to copy it.

I have sevral,

I feel history and a nations pride is important and it helps me understand the individuals loyalty towards their country. Each and everyone has its posiitives and the individuals always express their respect to the perspective homeland. All of us are very fortunate for what out forefathers fought and died for. Even though our Governments are not perfect we strive to better oneself as a nation and people.

I have stood to attention enough times in the past to God save the queen but I dont think you can beat The marseillaise for a National anthem.

Who are the people that said 'they'? 'They' can only be the 'elite' & other such rich & powerful forces.

What other country in the world has such a blood thirsty anthem as this?

It was written in 1939, The world at that time was pretty much a blood bath.This is not an excuse but a means to justify its context (my perspective).

Not a bad anthem.
