Regional Comparison
Cambodia: $2,200 – $3,600
Compensation is competitive for Phnom Penh, positioned to attract candidates with regional coverage experience in education recruitment.
Laos: $1,600 – $2,600
Smaller education networks and fewer multinational players keep salary levels lower than in Cambodia, though regional responsibility adds weight.
Myanmar: $1,800 – $2,800
Political and economic volatility suppresses overall pay levels, yet international organisations maintain competitive packages to retain talent.
Thailand: $3,200 – $4,600
A mature international education market with large agent networks supports higher salaries, reflecting strong demand for regional managers.
Vietnam: $2,600 – $4,200
Robust study-abroad demand and heavy competition among providers drive compensation above Cambodia, though still below Thailand.
