...does he work for one of those pages my mother didn't want to look me at?

Nope..would be hard to make that much in porn anyway now unless you were also producing...he is in affiliate sales/advertising.

I think you will find most expats here but not out of choice will be on minimum 10K US$ month packages, often +++ (Housing, car, pension) and a lot of them also have flexibility in how its paid.

Many expats that have their own business here will be showing a lower salary and then paying themselves dividends, most of which are not taxed or declared.

The really smart ones will be declaring the minimum amount required for whatever lifestyle they want (i.e 60k is not going to cut it if you want platinum Amex card in Thailand, BMW or Benz etc etc and living in prestigious condo) as can draw too much attention to the low salary supporting such a lifestyle, however the real money will be accruing offshore and then if required sent into Thailand in a subsequent tax year to avoid quite legally personal income tax as income is generated outside of Thailand through offshore discretionary trusts. Hong Kong is one such place to work very well as are the Channel Islands for such situations.
