I’m a Thai actor. I can’t speak for all actors, but I get paid ~250k baht per episode for a lakorn (TV drama). A typical lakorn has ~15 episodes. I usually do 1 per year. Add to that the salary I get from the TV network to stay with them.

Do you do one episode a year or one season of 15 episodes?

I assume you're pretty well off considering you are in Thailand where living costs are relatively lower?

Thai dramas don’t usually have seasons. It’s just 1 show of ~15 episodes. I do 1 show. It’s great money but nothing like the top in big industries such as the US, China, S Korea, Japan, etc.

Comparison is the thief of joy. If you are happy with what you have, then there is no need to compare with what others get. There is no quarantee that that would make you happier. Maybe even you may be worse off but better paid 🤷
