I’m a Thai actor. I can’t speak for all actors, but I get paid ~250k baht per episode for a lakorn (TV drama). A typical lakorn has ~15 episodes. I usually do 1 per year. Add to that the salary I get from the TV network to stay with them.

I work in sales in the field of factory automation and robotics in the Detroit area. I make $65k a year plus some other benefits. One is that they pay for good health insurance for the whole family. I will likely not have a job soon due to tariffs and get back into teaching.

Why did you quit teaching?

I own a small business consulting firm that the serves tech and energy industries. Generally, pay is good in consulting. Owning a company can be risky financially - we've had good years and bad years.

First year post-grad! Pay is 1500 USD/month but it's nice getting paid to study, I suppose. Also doing TA too.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

Do you think a post-grad will realistically help your employment opportunities?

I do GIS, which is basically computer mapping, for an energy company. Because we work in the energy sector, we're unionized with the electricians and with that we have a fantastic pay scale and benefits. USD I make ~$70k/yr

I'm in technical presales. I go with salespeople and explain the IT infra, services and cybersecurity we sell. Should be $190k+ this year.

I tend to watch some Thai series (mostly on Netflix), so I find these numbers interesting.

I think that this salary is considered to be quite high for Thai standards, but knowing the prices, does not allow for lavish luxuries like expensive sports cars.

How long do those 15 episodes take to film generally?

Do you do one episode a year or one season of 15 episodes?

I assume you're pretty well off considering you are in Thailand where living costs are relatively lower?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Thai dramas don’t usually have seasons. It’s just 1 show of ~15 episodes. I do 1 show. It’s great money but nothing like the top in big industries such as the US, China, S Korea, Japan, etc.

An odd combination of IT + offshore + electronics. 90% of the time this boils down to the same answer as @[email protected]

Being half naked and drunk is not a career inhibitor.

It pays enough that I neither know nor care about egg prices, and yet I always have a carton or two 8n my fridge which is frequently restocked.
