If you ask me, where will I spend my time in other country? My answer is Thailand. This is my second beloved country. This is simple reason, I was live there for a years. Maybe, if I will stay in another country maybe that is will be my third or my fourth or my fifth beloved country. Kidding. What is the special of Thailand? There are many special things that you have to know. Thailand is not only elephant, temple, or phuket. It is totally amazing packet place. (Are you Thai? Let’s pay me for my promotion.555555). I have a lot of story about Thailand if you want to know. But, Now, I just want to know how Thailand prepared to face AEC 2015. I know a lot of AEC since I came to Thailand. This atmosphere is totally different with Indonesia. Okay, For the first time I arrived there, There is nothing special. I arrived in train station. Sure, that is not so beautiful train station. As usually, there is peddler, and many people who wait train or just arrived in there. They call this city is HADYAI. This is my city province that I will spend one year of my time. There is no need a long time to know how Thai people understand about AEC. So many times, I buy something and seller ask where am I come from? I said, I am Indonesian. And they will said AEC is coming. Even, when I went to rural places sellers knew about AEC issues. Thailand government has socialization program since four or five years before. Even for elementary school, they know exactly which country those join in AEC 2015. I and my friend have ever asked some elementary student maybe grade 1 or 2. They can tell clearly about it. This is so amazing ah. Check and check, I found in articles, Thailand is the number one country in ASEAN who so get in touch in AEC issues. It is still not enough. When I went to other province in Thailand, There is surely having ASEAN country member flag in every government office. That is one of reason why Thai people so familiar with ASEAN member country flag. It is occur for all school in Thailand. I know exactly how enthusiasm of Thai people with AEC. In many universities in Thai, There is will be Language major, and they will learn about other language in ASEAN. It is such as Vietnamese, Malay, etc and even Indonesian. I have one friend who also so fanatic with AEC 2015 issues. He really wants to know the culture and many things from other country. He said it is very important for understanding AEC 2015 culture to make easier when he want to do business in another ASEAN country. Haha, But I said, please be carefully with Indonesia .This is because here will be many young entrepreneur who will be ready to compete. I am is one of them (Not mean to be arrogant, but just want to show how exist am I. hahaha) One of Thai lack for face AEC 2015 is Language problem. This is so serious problem I think. Same like Indonesian, many people who cannot speak in English. But, the different is Indonesian tongue made for easier speaking in English. We using English Alphabet for Indonesian Language that is make us not too shock when we find English word. But that is o different with Thai; They are using their own letter. This make so many My Thai friend will find difficulties in English. One more, the habit of using Thai language will effect of their accent. There so many words will sound different in English. This is example, “Business” will sounds Like “Businett”, Cheese will sounds like “Cheet”. The other effect of Thai Language is there is hard for me to find information about Thailand in English version. There are many blogger in Thai, but I cannot read is. Because, It is wrote by Thai letters. There is a lack and a superiority of each other country. In positive way, that is the reason why AEC made for. For close our lack with another other ASEAN country and share our superiority to Other also. Is it alright? how about in your country?
