Oh,this is my directly answer as i'm an architect. In Thailand,start point when you just work around 12000-20000 Bahts/month,senior architect around30000-70000 Bahts,sometimes more than this depend on company you work at. You should work at some companies before to be a self employed as you can get experience from the company you work,It's not hard to be an architect,you love you can be,be patient and patient for doing projects or thesis on class.
