Most companies in Thailand or any part in this region will rather employ locals than a so called expat because of cost and labor law. U must have something special that locals dun have. Most likely, u will be sent to Thailand if your HQ has branch office there.
I am quite lucky, sent oversea for 10+ yrs by various SG companies to JKT, HAN, PP and BKK. Local companies did offer me but package was almost 50% less but to them, they are paying me top salary.
Been out in oversea too long, I will rather go back to SG to work.... guess this is what we say, moon is rounder on the other side of the earth.

Daily spending is definitely lower in this region outside SG if we are earning SGD. I been doing this for so many yrs and sometime when I am back in SG, I spend also a bit heart pain. Take an example, kopi tiam 1 bottle of beer about 6 SGD, while beer garden near my condo, 1 tower about 10 SGD in BKK and USD 1.5 per jug in PP .
