MPs Support Bills to Reduce Work Hours and Introduce Menstruation Leave

Thai MPs have expressed support for draft legislation that would cut maximum working hours and establish paid leave for menstruation. The proposed reduction aims to better work–life balance, while the menstruation leave measure addresses gender equity and workers’ health. Lawmakers say the bills reflect evolving labor norms and growing public demand for reform. Debate continues on specifics like eligibility, duration, and implementation across industries. If passed, these changes would mark a notable shift in Thailand’s labor policy landscape.

I guess if there's equity men should get paid leave for hangovers.
