ExpatJ Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Seems like money well spent especially if you have kids and the guards are at the gates and the kids are playing inside. In general u want ur security guards to be happy not resentful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bwpage3 Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 Maybe all the farang teachers should start working out to they can be security guards. Seems to pay more than they make. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fey Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 No guard and the ability to opt out of having a cleaner come into my home at will when I'm not there is now a criteria when renting a place. Maybe they can have that raise to go away? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smutcakes Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 If you go to PCS, ISS, Securitas etc for security guards in BKK the quoted prices are about 20 for a guard and 25 for a supervisor. If you want one of there better guards with a smatering of English they go up to 35K or above. Obvuiously the guards do not get all of that, but the companies are businesses and need to make money. They need to pay their better guards well or they will go work in hotels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IMA_FARANG Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 The residence I live in here uses security ( 24 hours a day, 2 shifts each day) who also work at a nearby shopping mall that work for a Thai security firm contracted by the shopping mall. I don't know their salaries, but such "outside extra work" is a common practice in Thailand. If you are Thai and have a family, often that is the only way you can earn enough to support your family. I know policemen who have desk jobs at a police station, but drive taxis on the weekends to earn some extra money. That is the reality of working life for many working Thais.

Norrad Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 My housing estate hires guards directly and we pay them directly. Based on the contribution each house makes, divided by the number of guards, it's works out that they are each getting just over 30K each per month. I think they are worth it though. Always friendly and patrolling the place, getting rid of dangerous snakes and looking after the kids as they play in the streets. It takes a load of my mind.

I suspect that if you investigate the estate accounts properly you will find that something somewhere is being creamed off, or maybe kick-backs are being paid to ensure continued employment.
