The big differences between Thailand and Burma are: 1. openness to the outside world, and 2. the speed at which change takes place. Last week the current government in Thailand was already talking about changing the new constitution after having been elected only a few months ago.

But that brig-gen got a point. As I recalled, the Thai constitution was partly referring to Burmese junta's referendum as predecessor case. Now, Burmese junta are refering to Thai as their predecessor case. Circular logic at work here? OMG, never in my entire life I thought I would say this.
