Abstract: The effects of agricultural factors and other sectoral factors are stressed. Regression results strongly suggest the significance of agricultural factors although some limited evidence is obtained that other sectoral factors namely financial development and education level disparity also play an important role in explaining Thailand's inequality changes.
