I've read recent postings on Thai visa detailing what expats can expect to be paid in LOS and what lower-middle income Thais can expect to be paid. I'd be interested to hear what salaries tend to be for higher-income thai workers - maybe lawyers, bankers, etc? Might help me appreciated my own salary a bit more!

Cheers

Even within those professions, there will be wildly fluctuating bands. Take lawyers for example. Mid-level inhouse counsel might get paid anything between 35-100k, depending on the organisation.

A first year lawyer at a top international firm might get only 20k a month, rising steadily to 150k+ for a senior associate. For full equity partners, the sky is the limit. Senior equity partners in the big international firms can easily command 1.5m baht a month if the equity profit pool is big enough. The real stars might get more. Those figures arent uncommon.

half decent lower end management would probably earn somewhere around 35k - 100k by about age 28-35; senior management earning about double that by age 30 - 40, and CEO/CFO/senior executives somewhere in the realm of 100-1,000k a month aged about 32 - 50.

Hard to pin down exactly; management consultants maybe quite a bit more than this in good times; bankers ditto; lawyers have no idea; some very underpaid and some very overpaid.
