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.

That’s, what, $107k/y? That’s a good, solid middle-class income in the US, unless you live in an expensive area. E.g., it’s a great salary if you live in Manhattan, Kansas; it’s not a lot if you live in Manhattan, New York. What’s the cost of living where you live?
I’d go by the price of eggs, but they’re outrageously expensive under our current regime.
