In most countries the rich cities subsidize rural areas. Not so in Thailand
Sorry mate, could be treading dangerous ground with that link...

Best left alone.
The draconian legal issues and possible outcome surrounding many of the comments which could be traced back via the image link could be and certainly are somewhat unpleasant

Reminds me of the propaganda some of the trolls on another forum used to spruik, how the "elite" in BKK were filthy rich and the Isaan rice farmers were dirt poor, how the hi-so crown looked down their noses at the northeners, let them eat cake blah blah blah
Pointless thread topic unless you are trying to start a pointless argument, and highlight something that has happening all over the world for eons.

Indeed it is rather amusing as when one walks around the villages in my area of Isaan you see large houses, pickups and good quality agricultural machinery in all the house grounds whether it may be an ''iron buffalo or a rice planter harvester or a Kubota tractor. The house are all owner occupier not rentals like the greater majority of Bangkok housing. Those oh so superior know it all Bangkok expats know so much about so little it of course makes them specialists concerning the structure and make up of their Thai society and personal relationships. You know the sorts where the Hi So wife runs off with a football coach, where one eats in food courts if one can find a table and clad in Lycra navigates Bangkok traffic while the good lady wife is busily teaching in an international school!! That's the Bangkok society they live in where they think they are so Hi So and idolised, if only they knew what the locals really think and say.  |

I agree, it is what it is. And I cannot see the reason for even starting the topic other than to get people arguing about the socioeconomic status of the wealthy city slickers as opposed to your average rice farmer. Got better things to post about, like getting on the booze with smokie & co.  |

Or is supposed nationality, genes an issue?
Well my wife was a bar worker and I am proud of her. And our son. But I know she wants my money, but on realising false dreams, accepts that this is pretty good.Come on , you are better than me crap.
Wrong; I will solve any issue and it aint (cockney) money.

I shared it because I was surprised and thought it newsworthy. In most countries wealthy urban areas subsidize rural areas, and since coming to Thailand I have generally heard it is the same, that wealthy Bangkok subsidizes the rural areas. Not only is it the opposite in Thailand, the degree which it is the opposite is shocking and surprising.
If you really think it is a case of "nothing to see hear" and "I'm not surprised", well I guess you already knew the direction and scale of the subsidy?

But there are some people on here with BIG money and like to gloat over how they got it. Enough said.
Some are born rich, some acquire richness, some are just prats.
