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?

Fels, Enrico (2017): Shifting Power in Asia-Pacific? The Rise of China, Sino-US Competition and Regional Middle Power Allegiance. Springer: Cham, pp. 637-695. (http://www.springer.com/us/book/9783319456881)

thailand is in the continent f asia and it shares its borders with a lot of other countries

Should the cave rescue be added?

The Thai cave rescue is the big story at the moment, and we're all worried and invested in seeing the boys come out safely, but I really don't think it belongs in the history part of this page - and certainly not as a separate subsection.

Need update of External Links section

I noticed to my shock, that these links are VERY old and not up to date. Here are my suggestions as I unfortunately have no rights to do so myself:

For Government, it would be recommended to do the following:

Thaigov.go.th – Government of Thailand = OK

Chief of State and Cabinet Members = NOT OK (This links to an old page and makes no sense to link to something inaccurate and by the CIA https://web.archive.org/web/20081210073951/https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/world-leaders-1/world-leaders-t/thailand.html, best is to remove this link)

Mfa.go.th – Ministry of Foreign Affairs = NOT OK (Update link to Ministry of Foreign Affairs to the English version as this is the English Wikipedia: http://www.mfa.go.th/main/en)

Thailand Internet information – National Electronics and Computer Technology Center = NOT OK (This is not an institute or department of the Royal Thai Government, it is better to put a link to the website of the Ministry of Digital Economy and Society where the Ministry of information and Communication Technology is a part of, please us this link http://www.mdes.go.th)

Ministry of Culture = NOT OK (updated link is https://www.m-culture.go.th/en/)

Add the following official Government sites+links because some are missing: Ministry of Labour @ http://www.mol.go.th + Ministry of Tourism & Sports @ https://www.mots.go.th/ + Ministry of Justice @ https://www.moj.go.th/ + Ministry of Transport @ http://www.mot.go.th/

For General Information, it would be recommended to add the following LINKS:

Tax Revenue Dept (http://www.rd.go.th/)
Thai Customs (http://en.customs.go.th/)
Thai Meteorological Dept (https://www.tmd.go.th/en/)
Thailand Board of Investment (https://www.boi.go.th/)

For Travel, it would be recommended to add the following LINKS:

State Railway of Thailand (http://www.railway.co.th/) All train schedules/departures/arrivals
Thailand Board of Investment (https://www.boi.go.th/) Doing Business in Thailand Information (Official by Thai Government)
Tourist Police Thailand (https://touristpolice.go.th/en/) For Travelers (multilingual website TH/CH/EN)
Thailand Exchange Rates (https://www.thailandexchanges.com/) Overview of all Exchange Rates (incl. Suvarnabhumi Airport)
Bangkok Transport System (https://www.bts.co.th/) This is the BTS
Mass Rapid Transport Authority of Thailand (https://www.mrta.co.th/en) This is the MRT

For Other, it would be recommended to add the following LINKS: only newspaper in ENGLISH (as this is an English Wikipedia page) and covering ALL regions in Thailand instead of only certain cities/areas

Bangkok Post (https://www.bangkokpost.com/)
The Nation (http://www.nationmultimedia.com/)
Khaosod English (http://www.khaosodenglish.com/)
National News bureau of Thailand (PRD) (http://thainews.prd.go.th/en/home/index)

"Thai Empire" listed at Redirects for discussion

An editor has asked for a discussion to address the redirect Thai Empire. Please participate in the redirect discussion if you wish to do so. — Mr. Guye (talk) (contribs) 23:41, 26 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected edit request on 1 November 2019

It is requested that an edit be made to the semi-protected article at Thailand. (edit · history · last · links · protection log)

This template must be followed by a complete and specific description of the request, that is, specify what text should be removed and a verbatim copy of the text that should replace it. "Please change X" is not acceptable and will be rejected; the request must be of the form "please change X to Y".

The edit may be made by any autoconfirmed user. Remember to change the |answered=no parameter to "yes" when the request has been accepted, rejected or on hold awaiting user input. This is so that inactive or completed requests don't needlessly fill up the edit requests category. You may also wish to use the {{ESp}} template in the response. To request that a page be protected or unprotected, make a protection request.

The article incorrectly states that Thailand is the 21st most populous country. The United Nations (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_population_(United_Nations)) says that it is No. 20, and the article that the author cites (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_and_dependencies_by_population) states that it is the 22nd. Thank you. 2600:1700:A660:9800:69FB:8DEE:7DDC:AF22 (talk) 21:57, 1 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
