Typical rates in Thailand

Often near the low end of global rates

Studios in Thailand usually sit at the lower end of the global rate table. Expect entry-level 2D art to start around $25-40/hour and mid-range 3D art around $50-100/hour, with senior talent climbing toward the upper bands ($100-200/hour) for AAA-level work. Across the market, hourly rates run roughly $25-150 for 2D art, $30-200 for 3D art, $35-250 for programming, and $30-200 for audio, moving up with seniority. Thailand is one of the more affordable places to outsource, though Japan, South Korea, and Singapore are exceptions and price closer to Western studios. Budget more time for review cycles and timezone overlap when working with the lower-cost markets here.

FAQ: game outsourcing in Thailand

How much does game outsourcing cost in Thailand?

Thailand tends to land at the cheaper end of the market. Entry-level 2D art often starts near $25-40/hour and mid-range programming around $60-120/hour, with senior specialists reaching the top global bands. Rates depend more on the studio's track record and the engine than on the country alone.

Is cheaper game art from Thailand lower quality?

Not inherently. Plenty of studios here ship polished work at low rates. The real cost is communication overhead: larger timezone gaps and more review rounds. Vet the portfolio against your target style and ask for a small paid test before committing to a milestone.

Which game dev services are best to outsource to Thailand?

2D art, 3D modeling, and well-specified programming tasks travel well to Thailand because the brief can be locked down up front. Work that needs constant back-and-forth, like live game design, is harder across a big timezone gap.
