Try 200 baht a day where we live in Isaan
You think every area pays the exact same?
And "if" thats the case why dont those looking for work travel then? Theyre lazy + Issan isnt all of Thailand either...Wife is from Issan she knows the scre with the locals up there, she knows all too well including many of her bone idle family.
Seems plenty of replies here are seeing what I see in regards to employment of Thais in general and their work attitude.
As a ps Id be more than happy to take any of those 200 baht a day workers, reality is they probably want 200 to sit on their <deleted> all day.

Well
A: Starmer is only one of the opposition’s leaders.
B: the tories electing truss as party leader won’t be a miracle, just an act of self destruction.
Let’s hope an early election is called before she does too much damage to the U.K. though.

As the UK has been dying for over a century I doubt it will make any difference whose in power, stifled by laws restricting anything whilst Asia laughs at it for its correctness.

Its 2 stops which doesnt bother me, all I need is a lie flat bed, New Planes first world airports, first class lounges, new 787 dreamliners........ not Bangladesh Airlines

Every employee is a human with ambitions and goals
No not in Thailand, most just drift thru life day to day...........enter the reality of many Thais, they give almost zero though to tomorrow.which is why they up and leave a job.

OP I feel your pain, its quie simple though, many of them are bone idle from what Ive seen over 10 years, they also have no thought of saving or of tomorrow, they get a fist full of cash and off they go...........then a few weeks months later their reality sets in and they go off for another job.
Ive said this before but salary is not the deciding thing for them, they often get bored also.
In my 10 years Ive had two decent workers, the rest have been total drivel.
Burmese..........doesnt make much difference these days, found them going the same way.
Ive posted the same for years , to be met with the "if you paid them a decent wage " blah blah blah, usually posted by a bunch of clueless morons.
I have one lad now, hes doing the work usually done by two people, but he does it with ease and has lots of free time , proving to me what I always knew that two people is overkill, not only that he only has 1.5 hands........lost 3 fingers in an industrial accident. His salary is 15k a month + house electric water , motorbike, fish. Ive used him 3 times over that ten years but he does get bored, it maybe with age he sees its his best choice, his salary increases each year by 1000 a month.
He worked here about 8 years ago, stayed for 18 months left, came back 18 months later stayed 18 months left, came back 14months ago now.
Many Thais simply dont have any get up an go...........but they have plenty of GO.............oh yeah and theyll tell all their friends you were a krap employer also.
Dreading the day when my lad leaves.

if you know where to look and can pick and choose you can get some EXCELLENT fares. I got a Business class Bangkok to the UK flight on new 787 dreamliners for 1700 uk pounds return leaving September back end of October, lie flat beds and all the other fripperies. Compared to many of the carriers this fare was half their prices..

He used to post regularly in the Bangkok Photographers Facebook group but haven’t seen him there lately. Perhaps he got tired of people pointing out that his “fame” from a few magazine articles didn’t mean he was above the law .... he had a habit of breaking in to private property to shoot his pics. Also used to fly his drone in prohibited areas.
Thankfully no Thais ever break their laws either...

But its not because theyve made it "over represenation" to the point where companies are forced to employ inferior workers to satisfy govt rulings instead of the best man /woman/unknown for the job. Thomas Sowell does some great videos but some black people dislike him for telling the truth that they dont want to hear.
I followed a bus in the Uk a few years back advertising it;s services, there wasnt a white face in the advert but oh boy they had got everyone else and his dog from disabled to black Chinese Indian, Asian. Inuit you name it.........This is the Uk where only 14% are of non native backgrounds.

All this nonesense will evaporate when people have real challenges in their life. And a combination of Russian aggression, environmental degradation and rising religious extremism will provide these real challenges in the next few years.
People coping with homes destroyed by floods, fire, bombs or rockets don't tend to worry about pronouns
Thought for a long time now the world needs a bloody great war, all this krap will then go out the window, and it is krap in most cases, god only knows why govt's pander to this sheite..........not that theyll be any window left.

I can understand your frustrations as most foreigners and myself have experienced something like you have .
Best alternative is do the work yourself .
If that is not possible then buy property that needs no renovation work .
I paid for a concrete floor to be levelled out recently . The whole of the work done now needs to be removed .
First time I have hired people for some time . Now I have bought a concrete grinder for 28000 baht to have a new attempt at levelling the floor . Anyone out there who wants to buy a used concrete floor grinder when i have finished let me know
Yep 100% correct, spent 10 years doing my own house constructions after watching their pitiful attempts.

Bye bye, don't let the door hit your butt. You are obviously not fit for Thailand / have never bothered to understand the country and the people you were coming to visit / work with.
congrats on your assimilation.

As someone has mentioned in this thread.
If you're experienced in the field and know what you're doing.
Great!
Then you definitely don't need to rely on anyone to complete your building tasks.
This is not what this discussion is all about and your proclaims about nonexistent Thai "quality" are misleading.
There are many quality tradesman in Thailand.
The trick is to learn how to find them, and how to take into account associated cost differences (often very significant) since the field's hierarchy is not the same as in the west.
and I already said I hired the so called professionals who turned out to be KRAP and it wasnt a cheap price either.
We are finding it hard to retain staff. Many resign and dont give notice.

There seems to be an element around here that they work 2-3 days get enough money for beer spend the next 3-4 days drunk then quit, rinse and repeat
