impulse Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 I'd bet that any company willing to pay a decent wage can find all the people they want. If I had a choice of working for 300 baht a day, or selling ice cream on the street, I'd sell the ice cream. That's why there's "zero unemployment". 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimCM Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 Thats an average of just below B40 million per business which is over US$1m. Given many of these firms would be small or investing conservatively, given the political climate, there was either a few very large new firms or TAT did the figures 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

espinoza Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 I would like to start my business in Thailand, but I can not because of the ownership rules. If I start a company or open a subsidiary of my company in Thailand, I can not own more than 49 %. Whom should I give the 51 % to ??????? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JesseFrank Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 I'd bet that any company willing to pay a decent wage can find all the people they want. If I had a choice of working for 300 baht a day, or selling ice cream on the street, I'd sell the ice cream. That's why there's "zero unemployment". If i had a choice of looking for a job or laying in a hammock all day, I'd choose the latter, that's why there's zero unemployment since only the people who are actively looking for a job are included in those figures.
