Their govt jobs will just provide a bit of a pension when they retire.

True in some cases, certainly not all. Regardless, the 40K ajarn still gets double a Pharmacist, three times what some nurses gets, four times mot receptionists. Does the teacher back home get double a pharmacists wage? I don't think so.
Again, so long as you don't have the burden of property...as most Thai's don't due to the family structure...an ajarns salary is quite a decent amount contextually.
