While I have the idea the average salary is about 10.000-12.000 baht. Hardly middle class standard in my opinion, also not for Thailand. I think the real middle class is still relatively small.

I read also here in this thread that many normal jobs require a bachelor or master degree. How many Thai can afford such an education? There can't be that many with such a degree. Or does the government pay for it? Then the number with such a degree must be rapidly increasing indeed.
