Platform workers in Thailand—particularly riders—are pushing lawmakers and labour groups for stronger legal protections including fair minimum pay, accident/health insurance, algorithm transparency, and human review of automated account suspensions. A Pheu Thai-backed proposal seeks a government-sponsored bill (rather than individual party initiatives) to establish minimum standards while balancing worker protection with legitimate platform business operations. With ~20.9 million informal workers in Thailand's platform economy, this legislation is politically significant and could reshape gig-work standards regionally.
