In Topic: Industries That Pay Minimum Wage

2012-04-11 12:53:51

Hi Tribaldovas

Offically all companies and employers must pay as a minimum, the mandated minimum wage within the province they operate in.

While the government has raised the minimum wage in a number of provinces (unfortunately different amounts for different provinces), minimum wage requirements have been in place for many years.

Reality is that all multi national companies, large Thai companies and government agencies adhere to minimum wage requirements.  However some small companies / employers / family businesses either pay what they want or pay cash.  Sometimes this is offset by bonuses and or other more generous conditions.  Sometimes it's just daily hire and daily payment.

I hope this helps.

Hi Ubonrthai

Mukdahan tower is an interesting place for a visit and is easy to find, on the edge of town on the Southern side.  Inside you will find a number of displays referring to local history and the different tribes around Issan.  A small entrace fee and a great view of the town, river and Lao.

There are a couple of national parks fairly close to town one being Mukdahan national park 17 kms from town on Mukdahan don tan Road.

Mukdahan also has the Indochin market on the banks of the river and also a smal night market.  There is also the second friendship bridge into Lao.

Plenty to do for a first time visitor, however once you have been there a few times you need to explore further out to find something new.

Thanks to both of you, I now have 2 days filled.  The other couple can be filled with family and normal activities when I'm home.

Appreciate the responses.

If you are ever are around Mukdahan drop me a note and I will buy you a beer.

Have you tried the suckling pig at Geng Kabao ? or a bit further afield Wat Pra Namtip near Roi Et (about 2-3 hour drive) well worth a visit

Hi Livingthedream, now that does sound good.  My wife, along with every other Thai I know loves suckling pig.  The best I've found has been in Lao across the friendship bridge.

Can you supply a few more details, no problem driving to Roi Et, or close by.

Thanks DJH77

Yes I've been to the church of the 7 Martyrs a couple of times and it is interesting.  I've also had the pleasure of eating at Mukdahan Manor etc.

Not much of a golfer although wifey is, maybe I can caddy for her.

Oh well I will do some exploring and see what I find, maybe drive further up North or out West a bit.

I'm guessing there are no fishing parks within cooee?

If I find anything interesting I will drop a report on the forum.

Thanks again
