Answer summary
Under Thai labour law, after 10 years of continuous service, an employee is entitled to at least 300 days’ wages (approximately 10 months of pay) as severance pay if terminated without cause. If terminated with cause, the employee would not receive severance pay. It's advised to consult a Thai labour lawyer or the Department of Labour Protection for personalized legal advice and ensure all necessary documentation, such as a termination letter, is obtained.

One month per one full year, maximum 10 months I believe.

Although you should pay less tax and recover your provident fund

Check it out on Google or a Thai Labor Law company

Yes, under Thai labour law (Labour Protection Act), after 10 years of continuous service, you are generally entitled to severance pay of at least 300 days’ wages (roughly 10 months’ pay) if terminated without cause.

If it’s with cause you get nothing

I strongly recommend consulting a Thai labour lawyer or the Department of Labour Protection and Welfare for advice tailored to your case.

Good luck
