THAILAND INTERNSHIP PROGRAM

With its strategic location in the center of Southeast Asia, Thailand enjoys a stable economic growth. It is now one of the center of business and trade in the region. In the heart of Thailand is its capital city, Bangkok. Interestingly, according to the World Bank, almost all (99.7%!) of Thailand’s firms are classified as Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs), and it account for 80.3% of total employment in the country. Due to this facts, Bangkok is now considered as one of the best cities in the world for startups, especially with Thailand’s government many supports. If you dream of being an entrepreneur and build your own empire one day, our Bangkok Internship Program is your best choice. You will get experience from interning with the best startups and create professional connections.

As the only Southeast Asian country to never be colonized, Thailand has a rich culture and history. Combined the current rapid urban developments, especially in Bangkok, you will now see a unique environment. Megamalls can stand side by side with antique village homes and golden Buddhist temples surrounded by shops with neon signs. Completed with friendly people (Land of Smiles!) and luscious culinary, this City of Angels has continued to be one of the most traveller friendly cities in Asia.

Furthermore, along with Bangkok, other places like Phuket and Koh Samui, are the best spot to go for Thailand Hospitality Internship program

Advice for Someone Considering Doing Internship in Thailand

Respect your senior – Even though the working environment in Thailand is pretty laid back, there is a pretty strong culture of seniority. Hierarchy and status still play an important part in Bangkok working culture. Show deference to your colleague, especially older ones. This does not mean you cannot speak up your opinion, but do so without disrespecting others.
Be generous – It is not hard to make friends with Thai people, who are mostly very friendly and helpful. It is the Land of Smiles after all. However, you can show them some good gestures, like bringing foods to the office or some souvenirs.
Dress professionally – Personal presentation is pretty important to Thai people. If you want to be taken seriously, you should dress professionally. This is important especially during the first days of your internship, to make sure that you make a great first impression.
