Can someone who has a Thai boyfriend set me straight on why the Thais up-country are so tied to the family farm. One boy I know - he keeps asking for money because his family needs it, he says. His dad, his mom, his two sisters and he - that's 5 adults, all "work" the family farm. But it doesn't make them a living. They still need money, or so he says. Here in the States some of the kids would be off working and maybe if the farm wasn't earning someone a living they would sell up. Not in Thailand apparently. I don't get it.
