What job is this and where? She's earning close to the US median salary in Thailand. This is a huge amount of money in Thailand I personally couldn't spend that if I wanted to.

I have a friend doing sales in a similar clinic in Bangkok and she makes about the same.  She said she lies to her friends and family about the salary because she doesn't want them knowing how much it is.

It's actually very simple. You don't need more than about 20,000 baht per month to SURVIVE in Thailand. What constitutes a GOOD LIFE, on the other hand, is a very subjective question and there cannot be a single right or wrong answer that fits everyone. End of.

20k is low? I'd wager that's well about the national average. As much as 50% in many areas.
