    hallmark policy would be implemented first in Bangkok,
    Samut Prakan, Samut Sakhon, Pathum Thani, Nakhon
    Pathom, Nonthaburi and Phuket.

    More than three million workers are expected to benefit.

    Somkiat Chayasriwong, permanent secretary of the
    ministry, said the plan was possible because the current
    wage rate in those provinces is now quite close to Bt300,
    so employers should not be too bothered.

    In Phuket it is Bt221 and in the other provinces Bt215.

    All parties must discuss the issue with the Central Wage
    Committee in the middle of the month before coming to any
    conclusion, he said.

    "I think things should become clear by October. We hope to
    see the new wage take effect on January 1," he said.

    The minimum wage in other provinces may rise by 40 per
    cent first and to Bt300 later, he added.

    TLSC is not happy about this, though.

    TLSC president Chalee Loysoong said all workers around
    the country were suffering from the rising cost of living and
    deserved a similar wage.

    In Phayao, the rate is just Bt159.

    On Monday, Chalee would present information on inflation,
    workers' income and household expenses at a press
    conference to make clear why the Bt300 wage should be
    applied to all workers.

More than three million workers are expected to benefit. Somkiat Chayasriwong, permanent secretary of the ministry, said the plan was possible because the current wage rate in those provinces is now quite close to Bt300, so employers should not be too bothered. In Phuket it is Bt221 and in the other provinces Bt215. All parties must discuss the issue with the Central Wage Committee in the middle of the month before coming to any conclusion, he said. "I think things should become clear by October. We hope to see the new wage take effect on January 1," he said. The minimum wage in other provinces may rise by 40 per cent first and to Bt300 later, he added. TLSC is not happy about this, though. TLSC president Chalee Loysoong said all workers around the country were suffering from the rising cost of living and deserved a similar wage. In Phayao, the rate is just Bt159. On Monday, Chalee would present information on inflation, workers' income and household expenses at a press conference to make clear why the Bt300 wage should be applied to all workers.
