The Thai Baht has weakened. It may be allowed to weaken further or it may not. There are significant arguments in Thailand for and against the strengthening of the Baht - if the exporters win the argument expect to see the baht weaken further helping push up the exchange rate. Of course the opposite could happen.

If anyone listens to Blair they are bonkers. He was largely ( not totally ) responsible for the economic problems in Britain. He has just spouted what the Thais wanted to hear, pocketed his fee and said ' I am Tony Blair get me out of here '. He is an arrogant, self serving disgrace to the UK.

I think that most of the international companies already pay more than 300 baht per day. I am somewhat familiar with Seagate and know for a fact that they pay quite well as compared to Thai companies.

Agreed. A English friend of mine runs ( or did until it flooded ) a factory in the Hi Tech estate. They paid their lowest level worker  350B + bonuses a day. With O/T ( making it a 12 hour day ) they could make 1000 Baht  a day including bonuses.

A Thai friend of mine, who runs an abbatoir,  pays his Burmese staff 150B for a 12 hour day, and gives them an onsite  dormitory to live in  - 40 to a room.

Which one of my friends  exploits people ?

Unfortunately I believe you are right. The 'yellows' will not take this lying down
