GuestHouse Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 Its calculated as follows: Rate you can get outside of Thailand - The cut you are willing to take to be in Thailand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PattayaParent Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 (edited) Whatever you could get in your home country plus uplift for being away from home, plus accommodation plus airfares (and plus schooling if you can get it.) You might take tax into consideration if you would pay less here than back home. Edit: oops, forgot medical.

mrtoad Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 Depends on what pe of package you are offered. Very few genuine ExPat packages around, as there used to be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fletchsmile Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 (edited) Its calculated as follows: Rate you can get outside of Thailand - The cut you are willing to take to be in Thailand. A little tongue in cheek Possibly if working in Thailand is the most important driving factor to you above all else, then that's the case. On the other hand: Rate you can get outside of Thailand + expat benefits/ hardship allowance if you have skills in demand and see Thailand as a short to mid-term experience where someone needs you Then again, the last role I did was on Locally Hired Foreign National (LHFN) status, where I was paid on local terms. Given the specialised nature of the work the salary was similar to what I would expect in London just without any expat add-on benefits as they really wanted a local. So personally for me I've done higher, same and lower than I could get outside Thailand. All depends on priorities and of course a bit of luck or not Edited July 19, 2012 by fletchsmile 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
