Abstract: This report provides updated estimates of family living expenses and living wages for rural areas in the provinces of Roi Et and Nakhon Phanom, Thailand, where tobacco and rice are grown. Since there was virtually no inflation and no changes in payroll deductions between the original Anker living wage study conducted in December 2024 (Kulkolkarn and Delajara, 2024) and June 2025, no adjustment for inflation or taxes was necessary. However, the appreciation of the Thai baht has resulted in changes to the living income and living wage when expressed in US.
