They will remain as always...

A bunch of self-serving muppets lording it over those who pay their wages.  They don't deserve to be paid in buttons.

Good news for them. Many perks but Govt wages are way too low here.

........in debt! 

This is how PM Sreetha wants to lure educated Thais back to Thailand?  

Starting wage at 18,000 thb / month ... 

I know foreign educated Thais won't become civil-servants, but the industry will follow the Gov's lead here.

 

Add this abysmal pay to the lack of respect for their votes and the "elites" power here and you've got the recipe for why Thai's stay in other countries to work / live.

5 per cent a year. Likely only covers inflation. In Australia they are offering around 12 for 3 years so better here. But we get to work from home more to make up for the poor pay offer so that's a thing.
