Actually the best route is to work for a MNCs in your local country and get an opportunity to delegate to BKK. Package will be equivalent with additional benefits such as flights/accommod/allowances. These are however rare to begin with. Direct employment with the company is definitely not worth it imho. 1) there is a salary cap even though things are cheaper by 30-40% 2) Local remun package 3) Taxes and insurances all adds up to more cost
However, if your mind is set to work and retire for the long term, by all means go ahead
