300 Baht a day - hurrahs through the Phuket....
BUT
Senator Anothai Rittiphanyawong stressed that the minimum wage hike effective tomorrow affects government employees only.


“Is service charge [paid to employees] to be included in calculating the 300 baht a day,” asked Bhummikitti Ruktaengam, a vice president of the Phuket Tourist Association.

To this, Senator Anothai replied plainly that the rate was the flat minimum rate employers were to pay their employees for a day’s work – “this includes overtime and other payments”.



“Will I be arrested if I don’t pay it?” he asked.

To this there was no clear reply.
