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.

I'm in technical presales. I go with salespeople and explain the IT infra, services and cybersecurity we sell. Should be $190k+ this year.

I tend to watch some Thai series (mostly on Netflix), so I find these numbers interesting.

I think that this salary is considered to be quite high for Thai standards, but knowing the prices, does not allow for lavish luxuries like expensive sports cars.

How long do those 15 episodes take to film generally?

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?

An odd combination of IT + offshore + electronics. 90% of the time this boils down to the same answer as @[email protected]

Being half naked and drunk is not a career inhibitor.

It pays enough that I neither know nor care about egg prices, and yet I always have a carton or two 8n my fridge which is frequently restocked.
