Asia offers the most opportunities for expats
Asia remains the top region for international assignments for employees over the next XNUMX months. That is the conclusion of a survey by JAM Recruitment.
According to 66 percent of the respondents, Asia in particular will offer the most opportunities to work abroad. The researchers add that foreign assignments still record excellent scores in terms of job satisfaction and remuneration.
Working abroad
It is noted that 70 percent of expats say they are satisfied to very happy with their current job abroad. Nearly 75 percent say they have a sense of job security and 65 percent say they feel valued by their employer. The survey shows that more than 50 percent of expats receive a salary between £30.000 and £59.000 a year. However, it is argued that the assignments have become more demanding over the past three years. There is also talk of stricter budgeting.
“The results of the survey give cause for optimism,” Matt Reaney, director of JAM Recruitment, told The Global Recruiter magazine. “Global mobility is being shown to remain a strong, safe and highly valued industry. Demand in the industry remains consistent and many opportunities can be spotted for talented employees.” According to 63 percent of those surveyed, the demand for global mobility will increase even further in the next year. Only 10 percent expect a decrease due to high costs.

I am curious if many Farangs who work here at a Thai company will earn the following
30000 Pound is 1.608.175,48 bath per year? 134.014 baht per month
59000 Pound is 2.875.222,84 bath per year? 239.601 baht per month
Wouldn't surprise me.
When you talk about such amounts you are talking about managers or specialists in their field and there will probably be performance-related bonuses on top of that.
In the article they talk about more than 50 percent, so it can be 51 percent, and the other 49 percent does not reach that amount.
But I don't think they mean the "farang" in the article who will run a bar somewhere in a tourist area.
Yes, I think most of them will make it – including those who work for Thai companies. But otherwise arrange the pension privately, high health insurance, few holidays, etc. etc. You can therefore not compare the salaries 1 on 1 with those in the Netherlands, where there are many more fringe benefits.
I think that with such a “Western” salary in Thailand you indeed have a life like God in France. Such a salary is already very good by Western standards. Unfortunately I don't get it. I don't think these kinds of studies are very representative either. Don't know if these kind of managers would be satisfied with an average Thai salary.
