Thailand's Labor And Employment Law: Balancing The Demands Of A Newly Industrializing State, W. Gary Vause, Nikom Chandravithun

Northwestern Journal of International Law & Business

This article provides a comparative overview of Thailand's labor law, one of the principal considerations for prospective investors. The legal system is analyzed from the perspective of a U.S. investor; to provide a familiar frame of reference, comparisons are made throughout the analysis to labor law in the United States. Observations also are offered on the important extra-legal aspects of employment in Thailand, such as the implications of Thai culture for the employer-employee relationship.
