The whole issue about raising wages, has to be based on only one Criteria

Higher wages must equal higher productivity

The only way to achieve this is with major Investment in Modern Technology, Automation and hands off work environments.

Sounds great, but how do you 

A) Upskill  mostly poorly Educated population into these rolls

B) What about the people that cannot be upskilled. They cannot just be thrown away. There has to be work and purpose for them also

This whole issue is a massive problem for the Government not least because a huge proportion of the Money earned by Migrant Workers does not reach the Thai Economy

Its remitted back to their Home Countries

 

Are all Myanmar, Laos. Ca,bodiam people upskilled?? Thai people don't like to work, but like sto pretend they have a lot of money and will borrow from everyone, friends, family, rather than working for it.. I have plenty examples in the family of my partner, in my neighbourhood and people with examples at my work...

So you think it would be easier to find someone to do work for a few hours or a day, in other parts of the world? Get real people want full time employment. But you get the staff you are willing to pay for, offer low wages get useless staff. 

In the European community it is easy to find someone who want to do a job.. They are not lazy and the mentality of them is mostly all little bits will help... as here in THailand people don't want to earn 300 THB for a few hours work...they rather have nothing and ask friends and family to support them..

You really don't now what you are talking about! The reason Thai's don't do the jobs that the migrant workers do, is 1, The migrant workers get paid less than Thai's. 2, Thai's won't do the jobs the migrant workers do. As for workers on mobiles in stores, if there are no customers what are the workers supposed to do. Shuffle pieces of paper around to make it look as if they are busy.

I know what I am talking about very well..Thai people are too lazy to do job unless they will be paid at least 30K a month.. example try to find someone for an easy job for a few hours or a day.. Nobody will come.. nor me as farang nor for a Thai. Everybody is complaining about it. And in a store there are so many workers with so less knowledge that they could easily get rid of 50% of them and in a store there is always work... My parents had a store too and we were never without doing anything.. But we did not have a cell phone too.... Some shops have already fired some people because the profits went down and now the rest is complaining that they have to work!!!!!! almost no time to check their phone they are saying to us... Just to mention.....

Raising wages seems a good idea but won't it just make costs higher for companies, thus making them less competitive than other countries with lower labour costs. If some of the cost could come from the rich owners of big companies then great, and it would help with the large inequality in Thailand. Can't see it happening though.

The problem of costs for companies is a bit fake.. Indeed the costs will go up, but than ( I am sorry to say) a few people must be fired. I walk in many stores and i see a lot of people not working but playing their cellphones.. So they don't have anything to do. The productivity will go up if they know when they play on the phone they will get fired.. On the other hand there is so much work in Thailand that a lot of Burmese/Cambodian/Laos /Malaysian people have to come in to do the jobs.. The ones on their cellphones could take those jobs too.. Everybody happy...

Not enough plastic to destroy the enviroment.. Please more straws and plastic bags too..and no bins anymore... 

Soon nobody in jail anymore, as they claim that Thaksin don't get a special treatment.. Everybody who will be convicted can say stressed, high bloodpressure, fatgue, etc ....same treatment for all is preventing going to jail...Protesters and demonstrators now you know how to deal with justice.. But hungerstrikers are being handled differently

According to your writing, you haven't been in a Thai school neither.
I can show pictures and movies from Thai schools that leave you jawdropping.
Like kneeling on a sharp edged wood in the full sunshine during the morning ceremony.
This 3rd world country will never evolve as long as Neanderthalers with the mindset of a chimpansee are allowed to teach in schools.
 

you don't know and dare to say I have no experience.... I have been in several schools teaching kids from anuban/kindergarden to M6...for 18 years..and I know very good what is going on in schools.. I even was fired in a school because I broke the stick of a Thai teacher.. 

What will he do?? big discounts on international flights?? The world is at this moment trying to discourage flying.. but maybe he missed that.. Nearby holidays and using trains and electric vehicles are promoted to use instead of airplanes..

Did I say, I have angel children? Where did you read or understand that? What I said is that they do not punish my children, because them they have something coming for them. My children have been in troubles and even fights, but we have been managing to talk about such things and solve the problem with words. You know, something that shows adulthood in front of children instead that a life of a thug. Anyway, you probably missed that. 

not government schools I suppose... Ep programs and international schools are different.. but I am talking about the normal temple schools and Government schools
