Introduction
Thailand (previously known as Siam) has been populated ever since the dawn of civilization in Asia. There are conflicting opinions of the origins of the Thais. It presumed that about 4,500 years. Thais originated in northwestern Szechuan in China and later migrated down to Thailand along the southern part of China. They split into two main groups. One settled down in the North and became the kingdom of "Lanna" and the other one is in further south, which afterwards was defeated by the Khmers and became the kingdom of "Sukhothai".
Thailand occupies the western half of the Indochinese peninsula and the northern two-thirds of the Malay Peninsula in south-east Asia. Its neighbours are Burma (Myanmar) on the north and west, Laos on the north and northeast, Cambodia on the east, and Malaysia on the south.
This one-day seminar will provide an understanding and an overview of Thailand labour law and the essential skills the regional HR professional needs to possess. It will cover the impact of the Thai Labor Law on employment practices with practical applications to workplace scenarios.
