Amazing!

So a guy plastering gypsum all day will almost have enough to buy his family 1 kilo of pork, a bag of rice and some cooking oil.

 

Or he could save up two days wages and splash out on a single durian.

 

Amazing Thailand indeed.

 

The tiling rate is nonense too.  Any tiler worth his salt will be sub contracting for at least 150baht per meter.  Even a one armed tradie should be able to lay more than 3 square meter of tiles in a day.

'Cabinet approves new wage rates for skilled workers in Thailand' I wouldn't have thought there was enough money in the treasury to pay both skilled workers.

Nice to know I could hire a top notch guy for £15 a day !

How do they differentiates between the different levels - who decides the grading?

 

Try finding a decent tiler in Pattaya for those rates.........
