Thailand explores welfare system for freelance workers, including medical and welfare benefits.

Thailand's government is exploring a welfare system for freelance workers, including tour guides, ride-hailing drivers, content creators, and sex workers. This system would allow these workers to access medical and welfare benefits similar to registered employees, contingent on income declaration and tax payments. The initiative, prompted by discussions with advocacy groups, aims to address the economic contributions and welfare needs of freelancers, with a bill expected in the next parliamentary session.
