It's an unwritten rule among the 'better off' to share with others on a regular basis.
During my first week in Sakon Nakhon I was invited by the extended family at Sabanja Restaurant to join them.
With truckloads of food we headed out to a 'very poor village' school.
You could tell that the kids were grateful, they came back for seconds and thirds.
Later when the ice cream was served, some returned even more frequently.
This tradition of sharing is of course exalted in Buddhist life.
