She was on a decent salary for 20 years and then an excellent salary for the next 11 years as branch manager for a Japanese company at Laem Chabang. She will receive her Thai state pension in 2 years time, a total of 4,000 baht per month for 31 years continuous work, pathetic She was only putting in 750 baht per month. If you're earning an excellent salary in a company, you're probably also paying into a company provident fund and can also afford to make your own pension plans.

If she was on decent, and then excellent, salary why was she not saving enough to pay for her retirement? PH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep about time the "younger generation" get off their butts. I am proud of my contribution to the retirement of the Greatest generation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
