Let's hope the foreigners will be more honest and quote proper prices and not try to ripoff foreigners, "Let's hope the foreigners will be more honest and quote proper prices and not try to ripoff foreigners," One more time please?

If it is a crap job, and employers can get away with pay lower wages, they will employ foreign workers, and rules will be bent. Can anyone blame the workers for wanting better conditions? The only justification employers in thailand have is, "WE pay more than their home country does". Pity.

Nothing to see here Actual skills/experience/professionalism still not required? Fair enough. I suppose. Enjoy your continued time in the 3rd world.

There is some justification for it which relates to spending power back home but only if everything locally is provided on top of the salary
June 25, 20188 yr ARE FARANGS INCLUDED IN THESE NEW RULES? There is a reference to the ASEAN Free Movement of Labour Agreement, which has helped to bring about these new rules. However, it is not clear if the rules apply to ALL "ALIENS", or only to citizens of ASEAN countries.
