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 do physical therapy with school kids with disabilities. Almost $60k but only paid for 190 work days. People think we get paid for all those holidays and breaks, but we don’t - only paid for the days that we work plus five sick and vacation days. My husband makes a few times what I make as an engineer and my kids are grown (but not entirely off the payroll), so I feel pretty lucky to have the life that we do.
