The greed by the companies and a failing government are debit to this. Thai people hardly have enough money to spend, wages are not being raised and although the opposite is said, prices are rising and the inflation is huge. A simple example is for example Chabaa fruitjuice, that cost a few year back hardly 60 THB for a pack and no it is 85THB. It is said the price went up because the sugar got more expensive, but there is not so much sugar more in the pack. Same for the price of eggs, palm oil, rice, and many other things and than I don't even talk about the imported products. But the for the Tai people, wages are being the same, so how can you buy things if prices are going up and the wage is the same/ You only can buy less and less and even the 40/60 scheme is not helping. 1000THB a month max 200THB a day and for 4 months will relieve a bit, but it is far too less. And I know businesses will claim that they can't pay more, but they forget when the people have more money, they will spend more and that will increase the sales of the businesses and give more profits. Now because of the greed, they will have less profits and will raise the prices as they need money, which results in even less sales... Money and greed have blinded them
