IN June 2024, Thailand's ruling Pheu Thai Party announced its decision to raise the national daily minimum wage by as much as 14 percent to 400 baht ($10.80).

On July 1, 2024, Vietnam's Ministry of Labour, War Invalids, and Social Affairs 'increased minimum wages for employees under employment contracts by 6 percent over existing regional minimum wages.' This brings the regional monthly minimum wages as follows: Region 1, $194; Region 2, $173; Region 3, $151; and Region 4, $135. These compare to Thailand's monthly basic wages of $285.48 and the Philippines' $286.52.
