This must be wrong. The people of Kalasin are so poor they were not even eligible for the previous govt's rice scheme.

With the numbers again. Why is it Thai authorities have such a hard time with numbers??

It is the way Maths is taught in Thailand. You see: Thai Maths is different from other countries' Maths. Maybe it s those unique numbers?

Thai numbers don't add, subtract, multiply and divide like non-Thai numbers.

This is a well known fact. Thai numbers are special, magical and above reproach.

Why do these Netizen Thai-haters hate Thailand so much? What are they doing here?

All Thais are ignorant except the women they take bar.

They don't integrate, learn the language and pay the price of being miserable, lonely old men.

I think the data are probably correct - they report monthly household income, but what they don't show is household size. I understand that the average household in Kalasin contains about 2,400 wage earners.

Romans had that problem also with their numbrs: XII what is half of it: just eliminate the bottom half of it and you are left with VII eventually they fixed that problem by starting to use Arabic numbers 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-0 Yes those are Arabic numbers, don't look very Arabic does it? But that is what they are.

I live here and while there are a few big mansions here, In no way shape or form could the area be called rich.

If you have lived in Kalasin for a number of years you will know that the opposite is true. People grow rice and pick greens off the trees so they do not have to buy food. The majority do not have the money to shop at Lotus or Big C. The only 2 large stores in Kalasin.

Now I know why they keep saying all is well with the economy and tourism

The old saying about there are three types of falsehoods - Lies, damn lies and government statistics - springs to mind.
