Thailand Salary Guide 2015

[PattayaPhom]

Better wages and conditions didn't come to any nation without fighting for them through strikes etc........if wages here are too low maybe the workforce should unite.

Those are obviously jobs for the 1% in Thailand. Where are the factory salaries? 7/11 wages? Certainly they don't represent what the average person on the street is paid. My wife says Thai people will work hard for 7 or 8,000 baht a month. Which is why the typical rent is just 2-3k baht a month.

 

 

The salaries clearly say TOP 10.

what confuses you about this?

As for your wife, and the cost of an apartment, perhaps outside the capital, but the thais i call friend are well within these limits and most certainly arent living in 2-3 thousand baht hong dio's.

you think all those nice cars on the road are foreign owned?

As someone has just resurrected this thread after a year, I saw this post.

 

Seems highly posible to me. Not sure which part you thought was BS:

That:

- it's his SIL? = Don't see why not.

- "Very responsible job" = subjective. But credit approval does need responsible people to do it properly

-  Evaluates loans of THB 200mn up = very possible if she is working in a credit approval function for MNC or large corporates within wholesale banking

-  Salary of 45k = highly possible. If anything I'd say that's a bit on the low side if she's senior and very responsible. My guess would be she's late 20's early 30's so maybe not that high up but it's all relative.

-  Works 10-14 hours, 7 days a week. Credit functions, particularly for wholesale clients can end up putting in some long hours. Official hours may be 8.30 to 5 or whatever 5 days a week. In reality they work much longer. 10-14 hours a day wouldn't surprise me. 7 days a week suggests coming in at weekends regularly. Saturday is not uncommon, but I wouldn't expect it 7 days all the time. Peak perios maybe. If it is all the time she should be having a word with her boss

- Single. Can't boil an egg = highly possible. A lot of professional young ladies in banking/ accounting etc put some long hours in at work on their careers, leaaving little time for dating. Also as they are financially stable they can afford to be more picky with the guys they choose. Those around late thirties are also on the "golden beam" where it's getting a bit late for marriage but they are financially and career wise doing well in Thai terms

Are the salaries based on 1 months pay? I did not see anywhere it told that but assume they are monthly.

It states just above the position column that it is for monthly in Thai bahts. I had to look closely.

Anyone have an idea what a Thai Air Hostess makes. Just wondering as how my little girl says she wants to be one when she grows up.

Uniting here in protest is a potentially very dangerous thing to do as laws can be manipulated to construe such collective action as tantamount to an action against the government.

[diehard60]

nothing about the sex workers salary. Too bad.

[Rhys]

  What about the female Guest Relations Officers  (GROs)?

[garbolino]

WHY does it NOT show teachers salary.....and how much TAX people pay??

[gandalf12]

People actually work for these salaries? I assume these figures are before tax as well. Now I know why I wont work in Thailand

Is the salary chart drafted by the same boys who draft the TAT tourist figures ?

Is this for a Thai national? If it is your numbers don't add up.
