My personal feeling is that why cant the family get big face by putting a kid through a better school, getting a computer and phone line, investing in a local biz, hell even putting an extension on the house or something tangible.. 100k is well over a years wages for rural folk, yet they will be happy to piss it away in a 2 day drunken party with little thought for the future. Thats what gets respect in Thailand ?!?
Thats the kind of thing I am trying to change my own GF's ideas on.. That 'face' is attained through being smart with your money, and creating a base of power / assets.. But I am unsure how much really goes in.
Not trying to dig at you or your missus.. Just its the flipside of the 'sanuk' of Thais and does keep them poor.
