PattayaMale Posted February 26, 2009 Posted February 26, 2009 In reading the Bangkok Post today I came across an article that said that construction may drop drastically. He said design companies had also experienced a drop of about 70% in the value of their business due to the development of projects being delayed until the middle of next year. The association anticipates that 1.6 million construction workers may lose their jobs.......but no problem, the article said, they can go back to agriculture??????? I think this is a mind set that needs to change for Thailand to really move forward. Labor is not really valued. It is a very cheap and under appreciated. Quote
Gaybutton Posted February 26, 2009 Posted February 26, 2009 There is an additional aspect to the problem. There have been far too many times in which construction workers have been strung along for months without being paid a single baht. Then the company representatives disappear, leaving the workers with nothing at all. Quote
