The current daily minimum wage in Bangkok is 353 baht, while workers in Chon Buri receive 354 baht a day. If the daily minimum wage soars, entrepreneurs may not be able to pay their workers, said Mr Kriengkrai. This means the daily minimum wage should increase by 3% a year. However, the situation of small hotels is totally different as they faced a wage hike last year, which heavily affected their businesses.
