Answers so far
We estimate captains at Thai Airways International at about $136K a year. That is our own estimate, worked out from publicly available information; it is not a figure the airline states. Its 2026 vacancies and its application portal state no amount.
We estimate first officers at about $63K a year. That is our own estimate from publicly available information, not a figure the airline states.
Pilot Recruitment — Check official site for current openings. Key requirements: License: ATPL (ICAO); English: ICAO Level 4+.
We do not publish a monthly figure for Thai Airways International. An annual figure divided by twelve is not what lands in a given month — what you are paid moves with the hours you fly.
We estimate annual pay for Thai Airways International captains at about $136K. That is our own estimate from public information, not a figure Thai Airways International publishes. The sources do not say whether the Thai Airways International figures on this page are before or after tax. The actual figure moves with the aircraft type, years of service and the routes you fly. We estimate annual pay for Thai Airways International first officers at about $63K. That is our own estimate from public information, not a figure Thai Airways International publishes. The sources do not say whether the Thai Airways International figures on this page are before or after tax. The actual figure moves with the aircraft type, years of service and the routes you fly.

The sources do not say whether the Thai Airways International figures on this page are before or after tax. Take-home depends on where you are resident and on your own deductions, so no single percentage applies, and we do not publish one. Airlines based in countries with no personal income tax — the UAE, Qatar, Saudi Arabia — leave more of the same gross figure in your hand.
