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.

This is true, but you asked if it’s comfortable for them, which is more a factor of average salary than the wage gap of a specific field. They are pretty much spot on average for northern areas.
Yeah but making average wages doesn’t necessarily mean they’re comfortable.
I guess you meant “as an American [in the same field]”, whereas I took you to mean just as any American which is why I made the comparison.
i.e. going by averages outside of the field, you’re about as comfortable here as an American would be, looking only at salary.
