Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: As in other cities worldwide, Bangkok displays very conspicuous inequality, except that after a while wealthier shoppers just get used to seeing the homeless.
A thin young man, whose clothes have seen better days, seems to be keeping his few belongings in what is presumably a discarded carrier bag, ironically entitled "Good Times." Behind him you can see signs for a Sushi restaurant and a private dental clinic. Thailand is one of the worst 10 countries in the world in terms of wealth distribution. www.bangkokpost.com/opinion/opinion/1840739/thai-inequali... It's also ranks poorly in terms of income inequality. A World Bank study found that of 2019, Thailand had an income Gini coefficient of 43.3%, giving it the highest income inequality rate in the East Asia and Pacific region. www.worldbank.org/en/news/press-release/2022/10/21/rural-.... The country's wealth and income inequality is perhaps most obvious in the upmarket Sukhumvit area of Bangkok where this photograph was taken and where you can routinely spot Maseratis and Ferraris, but also see many people either sleeping rough or attempting to sell a handful of low value goods on the pavement. This photograph was used in an article on global inequality - revistaopera.com.br/2023/01/20/o-1-mais-rico-acumula-quas... |
