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 am amazed that you can support a family of 5 with 60k!

    That said, i am also amazed that you can make 60k being a waitress! Is that after paying taxes?

      before taxes

      the secret is simple: no car. It’s a huge expense and in a city like Chicago, completely unnecessary. I never would’ve been able to buy a home with that millstone around my financial neck
