The Thai inability/unwillingness to fire people for incompetence/malfeasance coupled with the penchant for over-hiring in many areas (e.g. go to a Mega Home or similar sometime and count how many workers are idle/glued to smartphone) does create a situation with some similarities to a traditional (i.e. tax-supported, government-administered) welfare state. Also keeps unemployment figures artificially low, imho. Nothing your average unskilled/immigrant laborer at the bottom of the heap seems to benefit from, though.
