The Thai Hotels Association is preparing to submit a petition to the Administrative Court to review the 400 baht minimum wage decision nationwide, stating that consideration should be given to each region's context and tourism stimulus. Hotels in remote provinces are complaining about rising costs amid a sluggish tourism sector, which is creating inequality among hotels outside the formal sector.
Today (August 21, 2025), the Thai Hotels Association is preparing to file a lawsuit with the Administrative Court to examine the legality of the Wage Committee's resolution requiring hotels in all provinces to pay a minimum wage of 400 baht/day, effective July 1, 2025. This decision will severely impact hotel businesses in areas with low tourist numbers and a sluggish economy. ดูหนัง24
