Could anyone advise me on what would be fair daily pay for semi-skilled work building a basic hut? These are in-laws so I want to be fair but to all parties. Thanks in advance.
300 to 500 per day.
and beer or lao khao.I agree. They should provide their own basic tools.
You may or may not wish to buy lunch in addition.

Own tools? Not a cat in Hell's chance.

All who work for us have their OWN TOOLS up to air compressor & tools and wielding equipment300 to 500 a day is the right ballpark.

But, are they just family doing the job? Are they experienced and work on other building crews? Or just the family lugs and lay-abouts. And, do they have tools of their own? I say never pay/give/tip in lao khao after a hard days work. 2 beers of their choice per employee. (It is hot work.) Plus some food, a pot of rice and some pork larb. You, GL, seem to be hiring proper workers with their own tools and experience doing the job, not just family.All who work for us have their OWN TOOLS up to air compressor & tools and wielding equipment

Insult who? Lugs and lay-abouts? From my experience most Isan families have one or two. Lazy hard drinking brothers, fathers, uncles, cousins, husbands, extended family members, etc. If none around you and your wife and family you are lucky and fortunate. I've seen them in the best of families here. No insult intended for your wife's family or you. An observation is all from many years of experience here.NO they are not. Don't insult.
They are NOT. YOU ARE INSULTING.Insult who? Lugs and lay-abouts? F
Did you read what I just wrote above? Not talking about your family or relatives. Pull your head out man. Reading comprehension brother.They are NOT. YOU ARE INSULTING.
