Benefits Guide
Employing in Thailand
Thailand’s Labor Protection Act of 1998 spells out provisions for employee protections and workers’ rights designed to fight inequality and safeguard Thailand’s workforce of 38.4 million. Employees in Thailand enjoy protections against discrimination based on age, religion, sexual orientation, gender expression, and race.
Common questions that could come up during the hiring process include minimum wage, overtime rates, and guaranteed paid time off. Remote can help you offer a complete, competitive, and compliant benefits package to your employees in Thailand.

The Thai government raised the minimum wage to 400 baht per day as of January 1st, 2025.
The government has pledged to increase this figure to 600 baht by 2027.
Note: the new minimum wage is only applicable to businesses with more than 200 employees and varies between provinces. Remote works with our customers to understand requirements for their Thai team members to make sure employment arrangements are compliant with relevant legislation.

For customers of Remote, all employee payments will be made in equal monthly installments on or before the last working day of each calendar month, payable in arrears.

We can help you get a new employee started in Thailand fast. The minimum onboarding time we need is only 20 working days.
Our team ensures your employees are onboarded and paid as quickly as possible while keeping your business compliant with all local employment legislation. The minimum onboarding time begins after the employee submits all required information onto the Remote platform. The onboarding timeline is also dependent upon registration with local authorities.
For all non-nationals of the country of employment, the Right to Work assessment (if applicable) will add three extra days to the total time to onboard. There may be extra time required if we need to follow-up on the right to work assessment.
Please note, payroll cut-off dates can impact the actual first day of employment. Remote has a payroll cut-off date of the 10th of the month unless otherwise specified.

Thailand, like many other countries, treats self-employed individuals or contractors and full-time employees differently. Misclassification of contractors in Thailand may lead to fines and penalties for the offending company.
