Thailand's Minimum Wage to Rise This Year, But Not Significantly – Labor Ministry
Thailand Minimum Wage Paycheck

Labor Minister Suchart Chomklin affirmed that the minimum daily wage will increase this year, although the increase will not be significant.

Suchart said the increase will be determined by a national tripartite wage committee, which will also consider the rising cost of living.

The increase will not be significant, he warned, so as not to damage businesses struggling from the coronavirus pandemic.

The minimum daily wage was evaluated one year after the 2012 floods, but the rate remained unchanged between 2014 and 2015. It was last raised in January 2020, when it went from 313 to 336 baht.

The current minimum wage varies from province to province. Chonburi and Phuket have the highest daily rates at 336 baht, while Narathiwat, Pattani and Yala have the lowest rates at 331 baht per day.

Suchart stated that, if approved, the new minimum daily wage will go into effect on Jan. 1.

Aged Over 48? You May Already Have Protection Against Monkeypox A leading virologist has offered good news and bad news about Thailand’s effort to prevent an outbreak of monkeypox after the disease spread to more than 30 countries on Thursday. The Nation


Aged over 48? You may already have protection against monkeypox

Dr Yong Poovorawan said Thais aged over 48 may have some immunity against monkeypox but anyone born after 1974 was unlikely to have protection.

Yong explained that this was because Thailand's mass vaccination with smallpox vaccine – which is known to be effective against monkeypox – ended around that year.

But with the country now facing a surge of overseas arrivals, including from countries where monkeypox has been detected, the government last week asked the World Health Organisation for a fresh supply of smallpox vaccine. As of Friday, there had been no reports of monkeypox cases in Thailand.

Yong said Thailand's vaccination campaign against smallpox was reduced in 1974 before being scrapped completely in 1980, when the disease was eradicated from the world.

He recounted his own experience as a new paediatrics graduate in 1974 and 1975, explaining that Chulalongkorn University had already stopped administering smallpox vaccine by that time.

However, he added that he had administered smallpox vaccine to Thai-Chinese children at a clinic in 1978, because the procedure was still popular with the Thai-Chinese community.

#Phuket's governor has canceled an order allowing relaxed outdoor usage of masks such as beaches and parks if away from other people or exercising and said masks must be in all public spaces. It's unclear if this was due to central pressure from the CCSA. More later. The mask mandate remains in all outdoor areas at all times nationwide. Pattaya News
