Recent developments in Thailand

We understand the challenges of keeping up with regulatory changes. That’s why we actively monitor these changes, so you don’t have to. Read on to discover what’s been happening in the labour market in Thailand.

Increase in minimum wage (2024)

The Ministry of Labour announced an increase in minimum wage rates across different regions of Thailand. The new daily wage rates range from 354 THB to 400 THB depending on the province. This adjustment, implemented under the Notification of Wage Committee (No. 11/2566), became effective on January 1, 2024. The increase aims to align wages with the cost of living and improve the economic conditions for low-income workers.

Extension of maternity leave (2024)

The Labour Protection Act (Amendment) B.E. 2566 (2023) was amended to extend the duration of maternity leave from 90 days to 120 days. This amendment took effect on March 1, 2024, and mandates that employers provide full pay during the entire leave period. This change aims to support working mothers and encourage gender equality in the workplace.

Remote work regulations (2024)

The Remote Work Act B.E. 2567 (2024) was enacted to establish legal guidelines for remote working arrangements. Effective from May 1, 2024, the act specifies the rights and obligations of employers and employees engaged in remote work, including provisions for working hours, health and safety, and data protection.

Stricter enforcement of anti-discrimination laws (2024)

The Anti-Discrimination in Employment Act B.E. 2567 (2024) was introduced to strengthen the enforcement of anti-discrimination laws in the workplace. Effective from February 15, 2024, this legislation prohibits discrimination based on gender, age, disability, ethnicity, and other protected characteristics. The act includes more stringent penalties for employers who violate these provisions.

Introduction of mandatory retirement savings plan (2024)

The Retirement Savings Plan Act B.E. 2567 (2024) was passed to mandate that all employers contribute to a retirement savings fund for their employees. This law came into effect on April 1, 2024, and is part of broader reforms aimed at enhancing the financial security of workers upon retirement. Employers are required to make regular contributions to the fund, with provisions for employee contributions as well.
