Platform-based work is reshaping the rules of the global economy — where does Thailand stand?

 

🚨 “Soon… the work you do may never be the same again”

 
Today, a growing number of people in Thailand are working through platforms like
 Grab | LINE MAN | Shopee | Lazada

But here’s what many people don’t realize…

❗ The “rules of this new kind of work” are now being shaped at the global level
❗ And they will impact both workers and business owners
 
 

❓ The questions no one can clearly answer… yet everyone will face

 
👉 Is a Grab driver an employee or a freelancer?
 👉 If they get sick, who is responsible?
 👉 How much responsibility should companies bear to be considered “fair”?
 👉 And how much will business costs increase?
 
 

📢 This is why ECOT must be at the table

 
The Employers’ Confederation of Thailand (ECOT)
 has assigned Mr. Siripong Intawadee (ECOT Advisor)
to participate in the 2nd National Consultation on “Decent Work in the Platform Economy”

held on 22 April 2026, 09:00–16:30 hrs. at Asia Hotel Bangkok

To ensure that global rules are not shaped without Thailand’s voice
 
 

⚖️ Because the reality is…

 
If protection is too strong → businesses may struggle to survive
 If protection is too weak → workers may be treated unfairly
 
So where is the right balance?
 
 

🎯 This is the role ECOT is taking

 
✔ Safeguarding the competitiveness of Thai businesses
 ✔ Reflecting the real challenges faced by employers
 ✔ Co-creating a future of work where both sides can thrive
 
 

⚡ This is not just news

 
It is your future
 
Whether you are
• an employer
• an employee
• a freelancer
• or a business owner
 
👉 You are already part of this game
