Just fyi the author of that comment is Bangladeshi and is pretty familiar with the region and it's history.

I am not sure that is true. From what he has mentioned before he is an American of Bangladeshi origin.

He was born (edit: a Bangladeshi national in Thailand)

I was born in Bangkok Thailand, before we moved back to Dhaka. Of course no Thai would say I have any connection to that country.
