Totally! I cant believe this total disregard for the citizens of this country. It is a shameful sham.

My wife is working and in 5 years she only got 2 jokes of a salary increase. No providence fund and no contribution to a pension plan. Were i not there there is no way she could survive.

 

Disgusting way to take care of your citizens

 

But ikke1959 i still dont understand your 1st post. It seems like you agree with such a pitance... or that is how it reads

 

 

 

 

 

I think you misunderstand my post... I know 15k is too less, but it is much more than the 370 THB a day nowadays. There must be a start.. Monthly salaries for 6 days a week working.. Companies will cry fool as it is too expensive, but they have to do it...and with so many holidays and extra days off people on dily wages have to work or don't get paid either. with 15k a month at least they are free and have their salary paid. Ok not much but a salary of 500THB a day is better than 370 I think.. It is just a start

What does a schengen visa have to do with Thailand do want them to mandate travel insurance like during Covid? 
 

Nothing more than a redundant waste of time and money for those of us who are already fully insured from sickness or injury regardless of global location or reason thru mandatory insurance provided by our “corporate overlords”

just as an example.... Tourists should know they need always a travel insurance...travelling without is the stupidest thing ever...

Rather difficult to enforce mandatory insurance when so many tourists enter Visa Exempt.  For visa yes, could be done. But for VE? Would be a nightmare at the airport.

You have to do kit in your home country not on the arrival.. You travel always without one?? 

The health minister is promoting less sleep and more accidents, more use of drugs and alcohol.. He is really worth his job.. But just wait a few months and everything will be different again

Decent? 6 days a week for 15K a month, would you work for that?

 It is a start......at least better than they have now .... No I am from Europe where the people fought for their rights and were brainwashed. maximum 6 days a week working and not more max 8 hours a day... But here they shout it is unaffordable too expensive, but how much money is in the pockets for the top? They could miss a bit I am very sure

doesnt even start to compete with inflation rate. 

 

 

try to plan a retirement on that or try to raise a family.

 

370bht a day 6 dathe minimum wage should be idiculous salaries.

i wonder how much the big fish from the tripartite get paid.

 

 

That is why minimum wage should be 15k a month..... who the hell can live of not even 9k a month with prices only going up??

One minimum wage for the whole country everybody is the same for the law.. And start with making montly payment so that at least all the holikdays are paid too with at least 1 day off a week.. I think 15k a month is decent

decide tomorrow and make it a law now.. Waiting for more than 15 years is more than enough, The senate have to decide about it too and they are not so willing probably as Move Forward is involved..Probably again delays for months again

For people of 65 indeed, but when you are retired at an earlier age it doesn't count... Then you have only 60.000 free as personal allowance and of course the 150.000 zero tax. Now fair in fact pension is pension

And when you bought at the airport where you left already some stuff and buy here again, customs will will check you and confiscate and fine you as you are bringing in too much tax free stuff :)

Double pricing far too expensive and in fact only for people with some experience.  hopefully they are closed when the rainy season starts

Minimum wage should be 15.000 THB a month for working days not more 25 and 8 hours a day... No bullsh..t that it is too expensive, or impossible. or whatever.. People  are still treated as slaves here in Thailand. Long working days 7 days a week and for  350 THB a day?? and the companies and CEO and Government earn millions...and yes, who plays more on the cellphone instead of doing their job , is responsible for him/herself when they are vfired. Probably when you work you can't have time to play the cellphone. If there is so much time in your job, that you can play the phone than there is not enough work for you

Where does the government think that the money will come from for Thais to pay for holidays? The minimum wage doesn't leave a lot of wiggle room for family cross-country trips. Can those Thais eligible for the promised 10,000 baht handout from the government spend it on travel / holidays? 

 

Joe

Probably with 6 THB a day extra they could have an extra drink on an extra holiday.. Soft power, to boost the economy 

Maybe he can start with a working and instructed non corrupt policeforce. Now only some places at high ways have tents, crazy drivers pass nothing happens, no helmets no problems and black smoke they don't see. Check everybody not for tax but drivers licence, alcohol test and put cameras a 500m before the checkpoints so they can be stopped and fined.  24hrs not one hour a day
