Thailand is making significant strides in promoting workplace inclusion for persons with disabilities (PwDs).


Between 2023 and 2024, nearly 40,000 PwDs secured employment in Thailand. Building on this progress, the Ministry of Labour has partnered with 21 leading companies—including Central Restaurants Group, Major Cineplex, and Huawei Technologies—to hire an additional 2,700 individuals with disabilities in 2025. This initiative is expected to generate over 2.3 billion THB in earnings for these workers. 


Under Thai labour law, businesses and government agencies with at least 100 employees are required to hire individuals with disabilities at a set ratio. Companies that do not meet this requirement must contribute to the Disability Support and Development Fund, ensuring continued support for PwDs.
