Political parties are being urged to stop wooing voters by promising them unrealistic leaps in daily minimum wage rates which many experts warn will do more harm than good to the country's economic system.
These kinds of populist policies are popular among parties because they require no funding from the government side as only employers will be forced to foot the bill up to a level imposed onto them by politicians, said Tanit Sorat, vice-chairman of the Employers' Confederation of Thai Trade and Industry.
