I dont't know if my analysis is correct but if the wage hikes increase for laborers. Then whatever products they make will become more exspensive. So it really doesn't help. So in the end they will still feel poor and even they have more money to buy things it doesn't matter because the stuff they made will become more exspensive. This is if my assumption is correct. So they will problably buy the cheapest products to support their living.
However, it might be a bit negative but they are definitely going to buy more alcohol. Thailand is in the top ten pre capita consumption in the world for alcohol. Its sad Its sad Its sad.
I wish they wouldn't increase the wages but make more jobs. Provide more education. - -"
