Thailand's National Development Council is accelerating a new law to protect gig workers on digital platforms, who now number nearly 500,000 and face gaps in benefits, unsafe working conditions (10–12 hour days), and limited bargaining power. The proposed law would define platform obligations, ensure wage transparency through algorithms, and promote worker collective bargaining. Thailand is adopting international ILO standards while studying models from the UK (where Uber drivers won worker status) and others.
