You might want to consider tinkering around with I18N Special Pages. You can create content types for each disparate branch of the site (e.g. one for Thai, another for African etc...), then configure each content type with exactly the fields and templates that you need. Each section can be managed as a separate content block from within the Special Pages plugin, so it is very well arranged and relatively intuitive to use. There's also the benefit that searches using I18N Search will index the whole site for you, so you save the end-user some hassle if they are looking for content with the search engine.
You can also (regardless of whether you use Special pages or not) follow mvlcek's independent menu tutorial (if you install the base I18N plugin) to separate the menus of each branch of the site, so that each section has its own menu (whilst all being managed from the same navigational panel).
