Odd to see Burma more free than Thailand.
But a fair evaluation.
Why?
Buma has democratic elections and a relatively free press, Thailand has neither. Most of the Burmese population also enjoys most civil rights (outside rebel and Rohyinga areas). Partly free is objectively a fair description of Burma, and Thailand is clearly "not free" at the moment.
I made my comment because I remember when the map showed Thailand as the only “free” country in Indochina, whereas Burma was listed among the ten most oppressive countries in the world. Just interesting how times change.
