Park Hang-seo, a prominent figure in Vietnamese football, has recently taken the helm of Kanchanaburi Power FC in Thailand. His reported salary is notably higher than the average for coaches in the region, reflecting his esteemed reputation and past achievements.

According to reports from Buaksib, Kanchanaburi Power FC has committed to a two-year contract with Park Hang-seo worth 36 million baht, approximately 28.2 billion VND. This breaks down to an hourly wage of about 2,083 baht (1.6 million VND), a daily rate of 50,000 baht (39.2 million VND), and a monthly salary of 1.5 million baht (1.17 billion VND). Annually, this totals around 18 million baht (14.1 billion VND).

While Kanchanaburi Power FC and Park Hang-seo have not officially confirmed these figures, if accurate, his compensation would be considerably above the typical earnings for coaches in the Thai League. Coaches in Thai League 2 generally earn between 300,000 to 500,000 baht (235 to 392 million VND) monthly, while the highest-paid in Thai League 1 receive about 1 million baht (784.5 million VND) per month.

Kanchanaburi Power FC, established in 2017, has had a successful history, including winning the Thai League in the 2022-2023 season and finishing as runners-up in the Thai FA Cup for the 2023-2024 season. Park Hang-seo was officially appointed as head coach on May 25, 2026, with his tenure beginning in July 2026. His appointment comes after a challenging season for the club, which ended at the bottom of the Thai League 1 standings with just 23 points from 30 matches, necessitating their relegation to Thai League 2.

The club's objective for Park Hang-seo is clear: to swiftly return to Thai League 1. The coach, born in 1957, has previously led Vietnamese teams to significant achievements, including a runner-up finish at the 2018 AFC U23 Championship, winning the AFF Cup in 2018, and securing gold medals at the SEA Games in 2019 and 2021.
