According to Win Zaw Oo, a Mae Sot-based migrant: "Even though the Thai government
has officially set the minimum wage in Tak province area at 300 baht [a
day], not more than 10% of migrant workers get that amount."
And according to U Moe Kyo, director of JACBA: "Even though [Thai] government has considered increasing the minimum
wage to 300 baht all over Thailand, Mae Sot and some other districts
still pay a minimum wage under 200 baht."
