Just a snip from a Bloomberg piece..

Thailand's investment climate is worsening amid political instability, foreign ownership probes and recent capital control policies, Standard & Poor's said in a report yesterday. There is a ``very strong'' chance the company will lower its outlook on the Southeast Asian nation's credit rating, S&P's Singapore-based analyst Kim Eng Tan said today.

``A lot of previous investments that have gone into Thailand will have to be restructured and even if not a lot of them pull out there will be some pull out,'' Tan said in an interview before the rule changes were announced. ``You are going to see less investment coming in.''

The scene with the 30% withholding introduced then about tuirned made the Junta look like the 3 stooges.. Now this.. On the global stage they are going to be made a laughing stock basically.. Burma here they come..

Malaysia, Vietnam, even Cambodia dont act like this.. This is serious stuff for the country as a whole.. Sure not for BM's beach holidays but for anyone even considering having a business here, or investing here.
