Oleg_Rus Posted March 10, 2005 Share Posted March 10, 2005 Ya, another thing. What is the salary range i can expect for an Electronic or Electrical Engineer position in Thailand? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> man, with your qualifications why for christ sake you're looking for job in LOS? I'm sure your gf would be much happier in Sing, and surely better off. example - I know one guy with Ph.D. in nuclear physics (reactors and automation) working here as "cable guy" i.e. wiring and setting LANs for ocasional jobs. got a picture ?

duck Posted March 11, 2005 Author Share Posted March 11, 2005 Oleg_Rus, I understand the situation you have told me. But with some personal problem, I cannot bring my gf to Sing. I have already disscused this with my gf, if the pay is all right to support my gf n our children, I will settle down in Thailand. Sounds silly but this is the power of LOVE. But if there is no choice, I think I will have to work in Singapore. Anyway, thanks for your kind advice. Khorb Khun Maek Krub Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedude Posted March 11, 2005 Share Posted March 11, 2005 Oleg, the man's an aviation maintenance engineer, not a nuclear scientist, the question is whether his skills are deemed special enough to justify hiring a foreigner. i'm not sure, as i'm not in the industry, but i suspect there are many aviation engineers in this country who are not foreigners. if the man is okay with to work on local terms, the pay would not be very high compared to singapore wages. if he has to support kids who are presumably living in singapore, thai wages will be insufficient. it may be better to stick it out in singers for a time and work on the savings until the kids are independent and there is enough to retire on. just me 2 satangs.

Khorb Khun Krub It is recognized -- but, so what? It will be a struggle for you here and financial crises will capsize the LOVE. Be smart -- you're 28; combine your technical quals with an MBA either in Sing or America. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EVO Posted March 15, 2005 Share Posted March 15, 2005 Tytus, im afraid you are wrong about a Thai marriage not being recognised by the Sing Government. Ive just been through this process as my wife to be is from Sing, and we are marrying in Thailand. It just happens to take a lot of document translation to and from English and lots of ladedah. I wonder if maybe it is different for us as I am a U.K. citizen. I would be interested to know..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoJo Posted March 17, 2005 Share Posted March 17, 2005 Duck, being Singaporean myself and living in Thailand I would seriously advise you to have your career somewhere else. It would be more fruitful for you long term wise. I do not know what your personal problems are that she cannot go to Singapore.....probably you have a gf/fiancee or a "wife" already. My suggestion, either you stay in Sg, sort your problems out and then move her over or go to another neighbouring country instead. (i.e. Malaysia?). There is no specific salary range for an engineer in Thailand, it all depends on the company, your qualifications and work experience. There is a min for work permit, that is about all.

terry74 Posted March 21, 2005 Share Posted March 21, 2005 Hello Duck I think you should look at the classifieds in the Singaproe papers, my firend is workig here as an Assistant Manager, salary abt $3k and 50K baht allowance, however this is a job posting from Singapore to Thailand. It will not be easy to get job from the classified here ,as there are alot of oversea postings in the classifieds in Singapore. Most Singapoeans workign here are either their own buiz or factory managers for Singapore companies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
