How much do Thai stars make for appearances?

A lot in just a few hours.

Ken Theeradeth leads in this category for the guys. According to Lisa magazine, Ken is the highest paid actors for appearances. Just hanging out for a few hours, he gets roughly around 150,000 baht ($4,673 USD). After Ken is Aum Atichart,  Por Natthawut, and Bie Sukrit, they can make up to 100,000 baht ($3,115 USD) per appearance. As for “Weir” Sukollawat Kanaros, he hovers around the 60,000-80,000 baht ($1,869-2,492 USD) range. Now, if Weir makes an appearance with his girlfriend Pancake, his fee increases to 150,000 baht. As brand ambassador, their earnings would be in the 7 digits.

As for the newbies, Kao falls in the  60,000-80,000 baht ($1,869-2,492 USD) range. Mario Maurer and Pae Arak make roughly the same around 70,000-100,000 baht ($2,180-$3,115 USD) per appearance.   For this group, if they were to become brand ambassadors/ presenters, they can receive  1 through 2 million baht ($31,152-$62,305 USD) or even up to 3 million baht ($93,457USD).

As for the ladies: “Aum” Patcharapa Chaichuea, Chompoo Araya, “Pancake” Khemmanid Jamikorn, Paula Taylor, Ploy Chermarn, Anne Thongprasom, and Noon Woranuch charge roughly the same 100,000 baht ($3,115 USD). In the case of Pancake, as mention above, if she makes an appearance with her boyfriend Weir, her fee goes up to 150,000 baht ($4,673 USD).

Aff is the highest paid actress. For an appearance, she can make up to 150,000 baht ($4,673 USD). If she makes an appearance with Songkran, her hi-so boyfriend, her fee can go up to 200,000 baht ($6,230 USD). Aff has denied making that much. Who knows, she might be lying.

Female celebrities get paid a lot for being brand ambassadors. It can range from 1 million baht to 8 million baht ($249,221 USD) and up to 10 million baht ($311,526 USD). Those cosmetic and hair styling companies shell out a lot for female celebrities. I believe Pantene gave Noon Woranuch a one year,10 million baht contract a few years back. Maybe last year.

Pinky Savika, “Koi’ Rachawin Wongviriya, and Poo Praiya are ranked together. They fall in the 80,000-120,000 baht ($2,492- 3,739 USD) range. As brand ambassadors, they can make up to  2-3 million baht.

The hosts: “Kalamare” Patcharasir Benjamas,  “Opal” Panisara Phimpru, Krit Sripoomseth, Mod Dam, some lady I don’t know, they  get paid roughly the same amount 50,000 baht ($1,558 USD) per appearance.
