I know many of you that have found Thailand Musings are interested in Thai girls and how to find a Thai bride of your own. After being married to a wonderful Thai girl for over 3 years I can understand your interest in Thai girls. Read more about my Thai bride.
This is the first in a series of posts answering questions that were posed to me by an American man who met a Thai girl on a Thai internet dating site. Hopefully these will be of help to others in the same or a similar situation.
Question: I asked about my Thai girlfriend’s work and learned that she works a 40 hour week. But I think she said her income was 10,000 Baht per month. That seems impossibly low to me. Can this be true?
Answer: Yes 10,000 Bt a month is a typical salary for many jobs in

Yep, my niece graduated from college and got a job at Honda’s Thailand design center, a pretty good position for a new grad, and a very good starting salary of 13,000 baht per month. She was ecstatic about it.
Yes I’m sure she was. That’s about what Golf was making right out of school as an RN too. After 3 years she was up to 16,000 baht a month plus they gave her an apartment near the hospital. Obviously she was dumbfounded when she got to the States and saw that she could make in 2-3 days what she had made in a month in Bangkok.
Thai people become equally dumbfounded when they then see how expensive things are in the States. How to make U.S. wages but have Thailand cost of living…
Yep, my wife is still shocked at some of the prices after being here for over a year. Only two ways I can think of to make a US salary with Thailand cost of living. One is to get a job with a large multi-national corporation and get an assignment in Bangkok (not very likely for most) and the second is to create a portable job that you can do anywhere and then move to Thailand. Obviously we are opting for the latter route :>)
My friend tought about to got thailand, and set up there. He is an engineer, government need enginner in thailand.
