Or all fully qualified international chef make it at least ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His salary was more than 160,000 a month. He left because he was offered a better deal by another hotel. 160,000 isn't really that great a salary. It's OK, but as a top chef you should expect more.

Depends where their home country is. You pay employees based on cost of living, and how much money they can generate for you. A top chef can earn you millions, so you should pay them accordingly.

natway09 Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 Here we go again. A real genuine Chef who knows his stuff & can manage a kitchen well at a 5 star level would demand 200,000 Bht per month Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had no idea a chef in Bangkok can make this kind of money. So they make a lot more than they do in Scandinavia for example..hmm I guess Bangkok should be a paradise for chefs then?
