I’m a Thai actor. I can’t speak for all actors, but I get paid ~250k baht per episode for a lakorn (TV drama). A typical lakorn has ~15 episodes. I usually do 1 per year. Add to that the salary I get from the TV network to stay with them.

Milk prices vary widely. The Midwest has a lot of cows. Milk is pretty cheap in most places, although Big Dairy flattens that out a lot. I’d expect milk to be very expensive in Japan, which isn’t conducive to dairy farming.
I only just now realized that, when doing cost of living comparisons, you really have to consider lifestyle. For example, my wife has a dairy allergy, so I’m the only person in the house who consumes any dairy. If you don’t eat gluten, bread prices are irrelevant, and you really should factor those out in the cost of living index.
Maybe it all averages out, in the end. “Housing”, “food”, “gas” - whatever indexes they use, they’re just aggregates.
