PM Yingluck: Thai workers are valuable citizens

[DrTuner]

Valuable, yes. I bet the Shins know the exact sum/head they can extract from the working population.

Prime Minister and Defense Minister?

Shouldn't it be caretaker PM and Defense Minister?

Or "soon to be removed" care taker etc....

let's not forget the girls the backbone of the Thai economy. This photo should include two or three of Bangkok's best, they sure provide a lot of cash flow into the Thai economy and deserve the photo op.

what are you trying to say here? you mean the females in the country? or you mean the "working girls" clarify pls.

especially the ones that clean her house and cook her food

Perhaps she uses Burmese, Lao or Cambodian servants to save money like most of my wealthy Thai-Chinese neighbours

[Wombat6]

But...But....she did raise the minimum wage to 300 baht........she forgot to mention how much the cost of living has risen. perhaps she/Govt. could tie the minimum wage to the CPI so that the wage increases are automatically increased.

probably not really interested unless their was baht to made from some scheme involving that action

[Ricardo]

they have retirement ? pension ? its a lie or not ?

I understand there's a B500/month pension, which is slightly higher if Thais reach very-advanced ages, 'don't spend it all at once!' as a cynic might advise.

....that's the same thing she told the rice farmers before she destroyed their lives....
