Does the inequality ever make you uncomfortable?
7-11 is cheap, what is the most expensive food item there? 50 baht? The 7-11 employees spend more than that when they eat at the local moo krata. Spending more than 200 baht at 7/11 is a farang thing because to a Thai, it's just not appealing at all to actually "shop" there (farang concept), it's a convenience store where they grab one or two items, that's all. -

Bangkok Grapples with Alarming Air Pollution Levels
We are talking Bangkok. If you do a little research (which it appears you have not) even the air quality within the city itself fluctuates quite a bit depending on location and hour of the day. Burning fields miles away do not contribute as much as the ever present gas and diesel vehicle exhaust being spewed locally 24 hours a day 365 days a year right into the local streets. Take a leisurely walk down Sukumvit during rush hour to experience this quite obvious reality. -

Does the inequality ever make you uncomfortable?
I donate a 10% "tithe" to local causes, as well as volunteer when and where I can. There was a line from the old JC Superstar Rock Opera that really stuck with me: "There will be poor always, look at the good things you got." I give back to society with a sense of gratitude for my lot in life and hope the best for those of lesser means.
