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 took an early job or two where I was paid shit, but learning a ton. I told myself I would make up for it later by building up marketable skills.
Today, I’m paid quite nicely because I built up lots of marketable skills. 10/10. I would do it that way again.
That said, obviously I didn’t stay at those (shitty paying) jobs long term.
