So you ask me is it a good thing? I think it is the best of things. While MOST western people chase things that don't really matter in life, many of these 3rd world people are content earning a humble living and are more in-tune with life. What you call ignorance some call bliss.

Problem comes in when you're living up here, and constantly listening to everyone bitch & moan about how poor they are. Yet, you also see how lazy and complacent they are. Just hang out, chat with friends, drink some whiskey, etc. 9am meeting? They'll maybe show up around 10 or 11.
If you choose that life, and you're happy with it, then by all means, go for it. If anything, I'll applaud you for it. But don't bitch & moan because you're poor, and don't try to fuck others out of their money. If you're living in Thailand and have white skin, you have to watch yourself a fair amount.
