Like the rest of the world, Thailand is facing growing traffic congestion in its largest cities. Alongside it are energy shortages due to the increasing consumption of fuel, which has caused the government to import gasoline from other countries. Additionally, gas prices worldwide have been rising and fluctuating. These are just some of the reasons behind the proposal of a draft amendment to the Labour Protection Act. This draft bill allows an employee to work from home, or anywhere out of office, with the intent to reduce fuel consumption and help resolve traffic congestion. The draft bill was proposed to the President of the National Assembly on 12 September 2019. Little did we know that it would soon be very applicable to another crisis.
