Is that a sustained income of 1000-1500 a week, or only when the crops ripen and get to market??

Even if it is sustained income, it is not much to live on, for a family!!

Huh!

5-6000 baht a month in the rural areas is more than enough!

Ok you can not drive a car, mobile phone and go on holiday 2 times a year. But it will pay for the food, house and basic education for the children.

Many families would be very happy when they have that amount of money every month.

Our messangers (the guys who deliver our products) get 7000 per month, but pay the gasoline, the oil, the service the motorbike themself (we help if there is an bigger problem), but end of the month they have maybe 4000 and that seems to be OK.
