adelwich Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 This posting is intended to highlight a terrific reference that can be used to determine what constitutes a fair wage in Thailand. The Board of Investment of Thailand maintains a useful breakdown of labor costs for skilled job categories in Thailand. This chart should be very helpful for visiting scholars, writers and foreign investors who are working with Thai citizens. For experienced workers, the BOI recommends the following: + Executive secretary (35,000 baht per month) + Sales (22,000 baht per month) + Office staff (15,000 baht per month) + Office manager (49,995 baht per month) + Web designer (27 - 38,000 baht per month) + Programmer (24 - 27,000 baht per month) + Information Technology (90 - 100,000 baht per month) Entry-level positions are also detailed: + Computer programmer (14,000 baht per month) + Accountant (16,250 per month) + Customer service (7,700 per month) + HR manager (22,500 per month) + PR manager (18,000 per month) As of June 2006, these are considered fair wages to pay skilled knowledge workers in Thailand. The site will surely be updated regularly, so be sure to check this address for the latest figures: http://www.boi.go.th/english/how/labor_costs.asp [Edited by Scouse.] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
