Notadoctor Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 everything you buy in the shops comes by road and most of it relies on cheap - often immigrant labour..........if you insist on safe vehicles and work practices the producers will put up their prices......so will you accept an increase in CoL to stop the exploitation of the low-paid?

Yes, that's part of the deal as the country modernizes - human rights, safety consciousness and egalitarianism slowly increase, and they come at a price for those who are more than able to pay. If I live to about 150, I expect to be pleased with the results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They stated the law covered all of Thailand. I guess they could rope them together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joedoebarinio Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 The first time I came to Thailand it was 2002. I traveled in a van from Don Meuang to the city. The first thing I noticed was the pickups full of people going to work. I thought I might like it here? The first time I ever went to work was in the back of an eleven ton steel bodied tipper. The job was at a quarry that was supplying aggregate for the extension of the runway at Manchester Airport, so that it could accommodate the Boeing 707. How times have changed. But weren't they happy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
