Yeah and i guess not only him,but me also one of them who's having a money for under than $5000/year.
based on my estimation average salary in my country around $3000/year and we worked for more than 10 hours,
(more likely slavery other than working)
and what OP said was half correct and half incorrect,everything what he said was real and i can see it in my own country.
it's total flawed system for some people,but most of the using their authority to create their own wealth.
the real question is,what we can do to make it better ? nothing,because human is a passionate being,
if he can create 1 ship,he will create another one and another.
This shocks me, as the minimum wage in Thailand is 300 baht (~$8.50) per day or ~$2230 per year. The average wage is obviously dragged down by the vast majority of farmers, but the minimum wages in Bangkok are a lot closer to $3800 per year. For that reason, it seems difficult to believe there are many English-speaking nations where the average salary would be $3000 per year.
