When people see an evidence that there is an inequality in the standard of living between group is a society, it usually results in tensions and resentment. The economics of farming causes inequities. People in Thailand do not pay high prices for their food when compared to other countries in the world. In developed countries such as countries in Europe, people will pay more if they buy their food directly from the farmer. This not the same in Thailand. Shopping for food at a local market is quite inexpensive for Thai people.
