    The Israeli regulations around employing any foreign worker are very fair on paper (Google Translate), but there are regular stories highlighting various abuses of the system.

    The only rights they don’t get compared to an Israeli citizen seem to be around some retirement benefits and some social security stuff. In many ways, it’s more complicated than employing an Israeli as they are required to provide them with housing and some industries have required levels of overtime.

    The Thai minimum wage seems to be around 330 baht per day. That comes out to around 4.5 shekels per hour, compared to Israeli minimum wage of 30 shekels per hour.

    So 5-6 times more is about right, assuming they would be earning minimum wage in both places.
