Thailand plans to increase the daily minimum wage to 400 baht next year, Labor Minister Phiphat Ratchakitprakarn says.
Mr. Phiphat hopes that the National Wage Committee in its December meeting will decide to approve the wage increase.
Increasing the minimum wage from the current range of 330-370 baht per day depending on the province has been part of the ruling Pheu Thai Party’s campaign platform. The party has pledged to increase it further to 600 baht by 2027.
The planned increase will affect businesses with more than 200 workers.
