Ok yeah. I'd be surprised if they'd hire non-Thais for that since most Thai people speak terrible English. Then again, it's a luxury product and maybe they specifically want western faces.
In any case, your salary shouldn't really depend on the local wage (the going rate for a thai sales assistant would not be anywhere near enough for a westerner there).
Dunno about comparisons to SA, but you can live on $1k-$2k USD per month in Bangkok. $2k is comfortable but not lux (your own nice but small apartment, eating out a fair bit but nothing fancy), $1k would be base-level survival, but possible.
Thai sales assistant would earn $200-$300. But they would live in shared local shitholes, eating and drinking at local street stalls, or otherwise be subsidised by family. Budget $1k a month minimum, more like $1.5k.
