I wasn’t sure if this should go in the language section or not as it also has a socioeconomic twist to it. I was watching a lakorn recently where a girl is hot for a guy she perceives as being rich. She referred to him as a setti (millionaire). That got me thinking this is actually a level of wealth many middle class can and do achieve there (Bangkok). Or am I incorrect? I would think mahasetti (multimillionaire) would be the word she should use, as this guy comes off as above average wealthy. So now I’m wondering at what point would mahasetti start being used? Also, what is the perceived financial level there where one might be considered as set for life, as in, now I don't have to work anymore?
