Why so negative comments? It's probably a great help in rural areas where 5,000 baht income means something, and furthermore they help older people that presumably need help... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only if it gets to them, I recall a scam some time back a year or two that a student doing work experienced ratted on some government agency pocketing them money while the people didn't get the funds that were supposed to be sent to them, I think she would be copying their ID's or something like that, but dug a little deeper to uncover the scam, smart girl. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BS. When you have nothing 5000 means a lot, especially around here. There are many people that would love to work for that mount EVERY month. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You do not know how meager they are. The local Tessaban has the old ladies picking the yellow fronds out of pak chi (parsley) for 10 baht a kilo as an initiative..

A short, sharp shock for Thailand low skilled workers is long overdue. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
