Momomomo Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 Hey all you out there I wanted to know if there was anyone out there who could help me answer a few questions about being a model/actress in Thailand. As I'm half-Australian half-Thai and have grown up in Australia I have had hardly any exposure to Thailand (except for family holidays etc). My main questions is realistically, is how easy/hard is it for people to break into the industry in Thailand (despite being half). My Thai language skills are embarrassingly poor and I'm about to celebrate my 19th birthday this May and decided that, instead of hoping or wishing I'd actually try.

Berkshire Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 All the half-Thais that I have seen on TV and in the media speak fluent Thai, so you'd be hard pressed to break into that industry. But if no talking is required (i.e., print media)....possibly. I would think the competition would be fierce. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Afrodite79 Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 If being a "look kreung", you have everything to become a superstar in Thailand. Most superstars in Thailand are mixed Thai/farangs and don't have much more to offer. Hopefully you will have more to offer than your look :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kerryk Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 Are you really that young and naive? There are reputable agencies both in Thailand and Australia that can advise you. You can also get some exposure to them on the web. Use Google for modeling and acting agents, photographers. You can find ones in Australia and Thailand. Thai Visa is about the last place for good information about those kinds of things. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty much every youth in the country wants to be a superstar, so you can expect the competition to be astronomically fierce, and if you do land something, it won't pay very well unless you're one of the very top superstars. Don't trust ANYONE who requires any type of fee to help you out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope the OP doesn't take you seriously. OP: Give the agencies a try. Don't even consider those who ask for payment for anything up front. Your half Thai Status should allow you to work in Thailand without the permit issues many foreigners in the same field have to fight through. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edwinclapham Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 (edited) Hi Momomom this evening there is a programme on ABC2/4 which might interest you.. The Model Agency New Faces 8.31pm - 9.17pm ABC2 / ABC4 Anyway have you tried sending in your pictures to agencies like Storm http://www.stormmode.../become-a-model in the UK. Unfortunately this is a business which attracts many scams etc. so imo keep your folks informed at all times and keep safe. Good luck to you and aim high, fresh faces are sought after the whole time.

And many models around the world once (or still do) work at bars. What's wrong with that? Edited April 25, 2012 by FreedomDude Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigJohnnyBKK Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 And fair enough to give it a shot, very unlikely this isn't a troll anyway, and if it's real she should know that you always read a while before posting to an unknown community.

Why not simply send her the details of those you know?... asking for someones bikini-shots... there really is no other explanation for you other than that of a pervert attempting to take advantage of someone in need. Bringing skin colour into this topic is a very unimaginative attempt at dragging the topic off subject - Your Troll attempts show your lack of imagination, character and intelligence.
