Translate and publish book in Thailand

I am considering translating and publishing a book in Thailand (my book with rights).

Does anyone know what it will cost per page to translate, print and publish a book?

The book has 122 pages, each page is approx. 50% of an A-4 page.

What's the book about?

 

Translation from English?

Yes, from English to Thai.

If your book is a novel, be cautious about hiring a "per word" translator. The subtleties in your writing would best be understood by a Thai novelist. The same applies to a technical book, which requires some knowledge of the material. Since I would expect the translation of one page to require approximately an hour of work, and I would think you could hire someone at 500 THB per hour, I would expect the book to cost at least 60k THB to translate properly. However, that number could be significantly higher for a talented translator.
