MealsStaff canteen
FlightsSenior packages only
Service chargeShared among staff; no law sets the split, and the amount varies by hotel (ask before you accept)

Senior staff often get more than line staff, for example a single room or a yearly home flight. Ask the employer what the job includes before you accept.

Can I work in Thailand?

How it works: The employer applies online (4 Thai staff per foreigner), then a Non-B visa; extending your stay wants about THB 50,000 a month, far above line-job pay.

Watch for: Massage, beauty, guiding, driving and clerical jobs are closed to foreigners; a tourist or Destination Thailand Visa does not allow work for a Thai business.

Never pay anyone for a visa or a job offer. A real employer pays the permit costs and never asks you for money.
