Its not a case of having a sense of humor.  Its a case of being ignorant to history.  They simply aren't taught about this in school.  They have no idea what these symbols stand for or what the Nazis did.

I've read come comments on forums like Thai visa where Thais have been questioned over this and come out with things like 'yea j like hitler Jews bad ect'

 

No idea if its true but yes you would have to give them the benefit of doubt that they are not educated enough.

Even the educated ones have a problem with ignorance

Come on. It's bad, but you can't really blame them for not being as sensitive to this as you are. It's not as if you know all about all the genocides over the last century and sympathise equally with all the victims.

True but if you look at how WW2 is remembered in Kanchanaburi then it's obvious that the people generally have some level of awareness.

 

Id love to see how the Thais would react if someone were to make a line of t shirts mocking the Burmese invasion or better yet the k*ng.
