The widows of southern Thailand
Fatimah and Phakaporn, both 50, now participate in a government job-creation scheme where government agencies hire locals for 4,500 baht ($150) a month. They supplement this meagre income doing odd jobs.Meagre? 4,500/month is good pay by Thai standards. My ex-wife earned 2,000/month as a cook working 12 hours a day 7 days a week.
