Hofstede Dimensions

Indulgence (Score = 45)

The reason why I chose this dimension is that it fully portrays a country's state of mind. Whether they are happy or not. Thailand has a score below 45 indicating there is more restraint than indulgence.

Power Distance (Score = 64)

Power Distance refers to the way power is distributed. It is a measure of how much society is willing to accept that power is distributed unequally. A high score, in this case, would mean that Thai society is willing to accept that power is distributed unequally. I chose this dimension because I felt like it better portrays the way a country is being run.
