You monthly salary and all allowances are nornally offered to a Japanese director or manager in Thailand. Even the PM of Thailand, Yingluck, has a lower salary plus all facilities than this offer. You can stay in a top-notch condo and even have a driver of your own. Anyway, you will need to pay the British NI to keep your state pension and NHS services in the long run. If I could have this superb package, I would fly back to BKK now.

Really? that makes me feel better. I wont be working at manager level however I will have big responsabilities and so far I have been doing bloody long days, so I guess in a way they know I will work hard.

Cool I want to be able to save and return back to the UK in few years with a nice deposit to buy a house, that is the idea...

Have a good weekend chaps. I am going to Bed Superclub tonight I think

If you check Mercer a typical low package is around 50% above the base salary. A high package is almost 100% the actual base salary.

I agree

but as most expats that appear to frequent this forum and make the most commotion it would appear overseas experience is more about lifestyle than career or liquidity prospects.
