Highest paid Thai actors for 2012


Photobucket
Nadech “Barry” Kugimiya is ranked one of the highest paid Thai actors of 2012. The first half of 2012, he has made 70 million baht ($2.2 million USD)–interesting enough he is the youngest on the list.

The rankings:
1. Nadech Kugimiya-70 million baht
2. Ken Theeradeth-40 million baht ($1,257,070.98 USD)
3. Dome Pakorn Lum-40 million baht
4. ‘Pae’ Arak Amornsuppasiri-25 million baht ($785,669.23 USD)
5. Ananda Everingham-20 million baht ($628,535.39 USD)

Nothing has really changed for the actresses, ‘Aum’ Patcharapa Chaichuea is still the highest paid Thai actress. When it comes to episodes per lakorn, I have learned that Ch7 actresses get paid more per episode than Ch3 actresses because Ch3 actors get a monthly salary.

‘Chompoo’ Araya Hagate and Ploy Chermarn may make far less per episode (75,000 baht) than Aum Patcharapa (150,000 baht per episode), but they get a security of a monthly salary where as Aum does not.
