National minimum wages were last increased in January 2020 and there have been no increases since then. The increases are modest, bearing in mind the increased cost of food and transport in particular, during the past three years and the reduced wages that many have suffered due to the Covid crisis. Thailand has continued its reversion to fixing wages on a province-by-province basis in contrast to the previous approach of a nationwide minimum wage. Thus those living in the provinces will still be attracted to looking for employment in greater Bangkok or Phuket to potentially earn the highest wage.
