#1 Extensive Thai business interests in Burma mean that Thailand will not rock the boat anytime soon. Doing business with a pariah state has its benefits - no competition. If the Burmese regime is toppled and replaced with democratic rulers, all the dirty deals signed by Thais with the Burmese junta will suddenly come up for bid. This is why these countries are always accusing us of dirty dealing - they are merely projecting their existing behavior onto us.
