Regional Comparison
Cambodia: $2,800 – $4,500
High for the Cambodian market, driven by Ajinomoto’s multinational premium rather than the country’s median level.
Laos: $1,500 – $2,200
Finance leadership salaries remain modest, with only a handful of multinational employers offering structured pay packages.
Myanmar: $1,200 – $2,000
Despite political instability, multinationals continue to offer competitive rates to retain finance managers, but pay is capped compared with neighbouring markets.
Thailand: $3,500 – $5,000

Vietnam: $3,000 – $4,800
