Uhm.....the business owner's pocket. Lol
And don't tell me they can't afford it cos that's BS.
For example, bars in Europe can pay their staff more an hour than Thai bars pay their staff a day, yet the cost of a drink isn't that much different.
Not to mention, in Europe, they have to pay higher taxes, more expensive utilities etc etc, yet they still make a profit!
In Thailand: 150+ baht drinks, cheap utilities, low tax, yet staff get only 300 a day!
Yeah, I know: rent. But you think rent is cheaper in the West? No, it isn't.
Thai businesses take a hand at their staff and their customers, even.
Time they paid up.
