Thailand as a Middle Power (25.11.2016)

There is a new book on the market that has a big chapter on Thailand as a middle power in Asia and its relations to the United States and China since the end of the Cold War. I would like to add some details from the book chapter to the Wiki article, but editing is prohibited. Can anyone please include at least the bibliographical info on the book?

"Thai nationals"

Under Ethnic groups the term "Thai national" refers to anyone who is a citizen, regardless of ethnic affiliation. Instead, the text apparently wants to refer to Tai peoples instead. Kortoso (talk) 18:07, 22 December 2017 (UTC)

What do you mean by 'Tai peoples'? in the Ethnic group section, it clearly includes the Khmer, Malay, Karen, Chinese, and other hill tribes and foreign migrants. Clearly the text does not refer solely to the Tai-speaking peoples. The reason why the Tai-speaking peoples are mentioned many times is obviously because of the fact that they are the majority in Thailand and are consisted of quite a number of subgroups with different sizes of population.61.7.174.39 (talk) 19:10, 15 January 2018 (UTC)

Removal of protection status

I request the removal of protection status as I need to add some information in etymology section. Ysfgvkscwkk (talk) 14:49, 8 February 2018 (UTC)

@Ysfgvkscwkk: It's unlikely that any administrator (the only ones who can change the protection status of a page) will see your request here. There are two things you can do. You can go to Wikipedia:Requests for page protection and follow the instructions there to request that the page protection be removed. Or you can attempt to edit the article and then click the blue "Submit an edit request" button and follow directions from there to request that another editor make changes to the article for you.

@Deli nk: Thanks for your suggestion. What do you mean by you can attempt to edit the article and then click the blue "Submit an edit request" button and follow directions from there to request ? I see only the view source code button. Ysfgvkscwkk (talk) 15:07, 8 February 2018 (UTC)

Sorry I wasn't clear. When you click "View source" you'll see instructions on what to do, which include the blue "Submit an edit request" button. Deli nk (talk) 15:14, 8 February 2018 (UTC)

Ysfgvkscwkk if you put the information/sentences here on this talk page (hopefully with reliable sources) I or someone else can add it to the etymology section. Galobtter (pingó mió) 15:26, 8 February 2018 (UTC)

Suggest removal of "Name" section

Hi, the section "Name" is incorrect and does not give any information. These are not names of Thai Kingdom in the past, but rather succession of pasttime kingdoms. The section should read "History of Thailand is centered around these succession of states." Regarding official names, there are a few times that official names are mentioned: official "Kingdom of Siam" in Rama IV, official "Kingdom of Thailand" in Phibul era and official brief reversal back and forth between "Kingdom of Siam" and "Kingdom of Thailand" after WWII. --Horus (talk) 06:55, 4 March 2018 (UTC)

I've removed the entire section, since it was added by User:Shoshui without any substantiation in April 2017.[1] --Paul_012 (talk) 18:08, 4 March 2018 (UTC)

Suggested addition to "Economy" section

Hi, I'm hoping to add a section to this article on Thailand's informal economy, including a history of the informal economy (and how it expanded under widespread labor deregulation following the 1997 Asian Financial crisis) and the different types of informal labor that exist in Thailand today. Would anyone oppose this addition, or prefer I add the proposed history component to the general economy section of this article? Perl s (talk) 19:40, 20 March 2018 (UTC)
