laolover88 Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 Quite often questions asked about things like income in Thailand You may all know about this site, but I did not: knoema.com Some interesting Thai data, though, of course, you can never be sure here of its reliability. But Correlations, or not!?, between household income, land use, poverty. Was delighted to see that, as far as I can tell only in Phuket did household expenditure exceed household income!!

Halfaboy Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 To be honest I never heard about this data provider. Would all info be reliable (as long as statistics are reliable) ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blackcab Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 How can it be accurate? Is the data saying that Thai household debt doesn't really exist? "Thai households have an average debt of 248,004 baht each this year which represents an increase of 13.16 percent of last years average of a 219,158 baht which is the highest in ten years, according to a poll result of the University of Thai Chamber of Commerce." http://englishnews.thaipbs.or.th/content/126220 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They took a survey of 1200 homes and said that was what all of Thailand is. did they take them in Bangkok or a couple of small villages in Issan?

The purpose of data is to figure out how the debt compares to the income. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
