Job Description

The Pastry Chef (Thai) is responsible for preparing Thai pastries, desserts, breads, and other bakery products while maintaining Shangri-La’s quality and presentation standards.

Company Info

Shangri-La Hotels and Resorts is a luxury hospitality group founded in Hong Kong, operating hotels, resorts, and city properties across Asia, the Middle East, Europe, North America, and other international markets. The company is recognized for its Asian-inspired hospitality, high service standards, comfortable accommodations, and extensive food and beverage operations. Shangri-La properties commonly provide restaurants, bakeries, banquet facilities, wellness services, and guest experiences designed for both leisure and business travelers.

Destination Guide

Thailand offers strong hospitality opportunities on islands and coastal destinations such as Phuket, Koh Samui, Koh Phi Phi, Koh Chang, and Koh Lanta. Resorts, restaurants, bakeries, and hotels regularly recruit chefs, pastry specialists, front-office staff, housekeeping teams, and activity instructors, especially before the high season from November to April. Thai culture values politeness, respect for seniority, hospitality, and adaptability; learning basic Thai is helpful. Island life is relaxed and scenic, but housing, transport, and imported goods can be more expensive than on the mainland. Employees should confirm accommodation and service-charge terms before relocating. Foreign nationals generally need an employer-sponsored Non-Immigrant B visa and work permit, with documents arranged through the employer and immigration authorities. Thai citizens need standard employment documentation. Healthcare and banking facilities vary by island, so larger centers such as Phuket or Koh Samui may offer more convenience.
