Bangkok

30composite score · #40 of 50

MEDIUM · sourced, not yet live-verified

MEDIUM, and the 'pending live-verification, will return to HIGH once fetched' framing is withdrawn: the URLs have been fetched. earnings_url (ILO) supports the guarantee's qualitative claims verbatim but carries no pay rate. min_wage_url supports THB 400/day for Bangkok, though as a group-and-area rate rather than the national rate this row previously called it, and only as of July 2025. median_wage_url resolves to an empty dataset browser; see median_wage_sample. The published THB 82.76/hr rests on secondary material that this row does not cite by URL.

Only HIGH-confidence cities carry a full verification audit. See the methodology for what each tier means.

Take-home is gross hourly minus an estimated tax/expense rate per country. See the methodology page for the derivation. This widget assumes you actually work the hours you set. For app-based delivery, a portion of logged-in time is unpaid waiting; the headline rate reflects engaged time only where regulators have defined it.
