Workers remain reluctant to return to the hospitality industry even though employee revenue from hotel service charges has almost returned to pre-pandemic levels, as Chinese travellers start to return to Thailand.

Even though employees can earn a higher income, they have to deal with extra workloads, particularly when hotels are fully booked, including helping out by doing multiple jobs at the same time, he said.

Mr Suksit said many hotels still have to recruit more employees, but they face difficulties as experienced staff moved to work at five-star hotels, which can offer higher rates of pay.
