What is life like in Thailand for natives?

Ive just been doing some research for a project Im doing on international economics & me and one of my peers where discussing wealth inequality.

He told me when he went to Thailand, he had never seen a group of people that struggled yet managed to maintain as much as the people in Thailand do.

Is the wage gap that bad in Thailand?
How do people make a living?
Are there actual careers in Thailand?
Does government assistance exist?
Is there a retirement system in place?
What does a good salary look like in Bangkok?
