The Assistant Director of Sales supports the hotel’s commercial strategy, focusing on growing business from Mandarin-speaking markets and developing relationships with travel agencies, corporate clients, luxury partners, and other key accounts. Candidates should have proven hotel sales experience, strong knowledge of the Chinese market, excellent Mandarin and English communication skills, and a successful record of achieving revenue targets. The role requires negotiation, account management, sales planning, market analysis, presentations, and regular client visits or travel. The successful candidate is expected to be commercially minded, well connected, confident with luxury hospitality standards, and able to work collaboratively with revenue, marketing, events, and operations teams. Knowledge of Bangkok’s luxury hotel market and familiarity with Chinese travel trends would be valuable.

Thailand’s islands, including Phuket, Koh Samui, Krabi’s island destinations, and Koh Phi Phi, offer opportunities in hotels, resorts, restaurants, diving, wellness, marine activities, retail, and destination management. Phuket generally has the broadest international job market, while Samui offers a more relaxed resort lifestyle and strong luxury-hospitality demand. Thai culture values politeness, respect for hierarchy, community, and hospitality; learning basic Thai is useful and appreciated. Daily life can be affordable, although housing and imported goods cost more in major tourist areas. Foreigners normally need an employer-sponsored Non-Immigrant B visa and work permit before legally working; requirements vary by nationality and position. Bangkok is the practical base for this role, with easy flights to the islands for holidays or business. Research seasonal employment, healthcare, transport, housing, and monsoon conditions before relocating, and use official Thai immigration guidance for current visa rules.
