Minimum wage in Thailand

Set region by region, no single national rate

Thailand has a daily minimum wage that differs by province. A national tripartite committee sets it, based on recommendations from provincial committees.

There is no single statutory figure to show for Thailand.

Check the date. Minimum wages change, in many countries every year. The figure above is the one in force at the date shown. Confirm the current amount with the official source below before you rely on it. This is general information, not legal or employment advice.

Who sets it

The national Wage Committee, with representatives of Government, employers and workers, decides, after considering recommendations from the provincial wage committees.

How it changes

The rates are changed by a notification published in the Royal Gazette. The committee has set them in steps, sometimes in the middle of the year.

Who is covered, and who is treated differently

Rates differ by province and sometimes by type of business within a province.
Rates are stated per day.

What to watch for

There is no one figure for the country. Find the rate in the current gazette notification for the province.

Understand the legal system first

Thailand belongs to the Civil law family. How pay is regulated depends on how the legal system makes and applies labour law.
