Over half of the working population of the world have to work for less than that and have little or no opportunity to improve their lot.

I think that most Thais not of Chinese ancestry work for less than $10 a day with a ''snowball in hell'' chance of improving their lot!

I think that is a stupid thing to say. Some people don't have much choice - if they have to work to earn 10 bucks a day just to put food on the table doesn't make them 'stupid'.
I guess nt villa's doesn't employ staff for less than 10$ a day right?

Minimum wages have regionally just been raised by 5 TBT up to = 150 TBT = USD 4.05 for Loei and Udon Thani fur full time employemt, 8 hours work (at least). No frills like heath insurande, pensions plans etc.
Most people do not even earn that much since most Thai employers pay less. No all jobs are full time.

Last week at the law seminar at the Karin Hotel , sponsored by the Bangkok Attorney General I asked specifically if falangs could borrow money to Thai ( a rather frequent request in the villages ) .
The answer was a quick and clear "YES" ,as long as you do not charge more than 15 % per year in interest . However that addition was made with a broad smile on his face and the remark "but you know Thailand!!!".
Go figure -with 15 % return on my money invested I could make a comfortable living in Thailand -if I would be able to indeed collect .

Thailand Wont Offer you a Chance to do what you do Best. i build for 35 years and could learn them well in a school. but you would not get permit to teach. Thailand needs only to spend a Small amount on Teaching and learn them the proper Way.
i pay now 250 per day and they are happy so its What they want.
Its a shame Udon is not got the prices like Bkk For property sales. Then i could make loads money.
Mobaan 5% is The best i have has yet so 15% would be great

I think he means that you would be lucky if you will get only 15% of the borrowed money back

I do hate to say it - but I do detect a bit of arrogance and a pompous Pommie attitude in your posts of late.
But, to be fair, I shall wait until later in the morning to respond to you comprehensively...

Wow, I can't imagine why anyone would deny ntvillas2 an opportunity to "learn them well". With such an articulate vocabluary, I should imagine the Thai's in position to employ, would be qued up at ntvillas2's door.
For ntvillas2, your eloquent and expressive asbility to communicate appears to be exceeded only by your arrogance.
