In Thailand, if you think you’re bad, come to Bangkok and hang out with the rich young brats there.

In Thailand, if you think you’re bad, come to Bangkok and hang out with the rich young brats there. If you don’t own a Lotus, Lamborghini, Ferrari, Maserati or Bugatti and kill some innocent walking in the crosswalk you just aren’t in the club.

Cho Hyun-ah, daughter of Korean Air CEO Cho Yang-ho, belongs to the rich and elite in South Korea. The recent ordeal over the serving of some macadamia nuts in the first-class cabin of a Korean Airlines jet about to leave from New York JFK Airport to Seoul reveals a little how members of the elite class in Asia think and act.

Ms. โ€œNuts On A Plateโ€ is nothing special.

In Bangkok, members of the elite are so arrogant, any potential talent is lost in daddy’s bankbook, which was built by the family fortune (somebody way back when must have had some brains).

At the same time, in Thailand regular people get little or no education and spend their adult lives as abused chamber maids and construction workers.

Years ago I took a lesson of “arrogance” on a boat charter. We came upon an elderly couple dressed in rags fishing in a four meter paddle boat. They had a fish so one of Thailandโ€™s richest men asked to buy it – then bartered them down to almost nothing.

I was so shocked! I asked his wife how they could be so cruel.
She proudly replied, “That’s nothing, when we take our super yacht to Singapore we raid the fish traps along the way.

Knowing these were traps from poor villagers I asked *so do you leave some money in the trap for the poor fisherman?
She replied, “What, do you think I’m stupid??

This is typical and prevalent behavior of Asiaโ€™s “inheritance”,

To be fair there is another class of folks who made it on their own – they may be rich but they are also talented and know where they came from, Chances are they did NOT attend British public school (where Asian Brats learn to be jerks from the originals – British Public School jerks,)

This New Generation is building the New Asia with politeness and rock solid ethics, innovation and hard work; one of my best friends was smuggled out of the Rape of Nanjing to the Philippines only to witness the Battle of Manila.

With no financial assistance he built a huge conglomerate โ€“ and drives a beat-up Chevy II. He also supports 70 charities.

This “New Society” is honest, personable, self-made and kind. These are the people who will make Asia’s future – filled with potential and compassion. Embrace them – as you distain the arrogant young brats – whose only claim to success is accident of birth.
