The Pastry Chef (Thai) is responsible for preparing high-quality pastries, desserts, breads and Thai sweets while maintaining Shangri-La’s standards for taste, presentation, hygiene and consistency. Candidates should have professional pastry or bakery experience, preferably in a luxury hotel or high-volume kitchen, together with knowledge of Thai ingredients and desserts. Culinary training, food-safety certification and the ability to follow recipes, control costs and manage production schedules are desirable. The role requires creativity, attention to detail, physical stamina and teamwork. The successful candidate is expected to maintain clean work areas, support menu development, coach junior team members and work flexible shifts, including weekends and public holidays.
Shangri-La Hotels and Resorts is a luxury hospitality group founded in Hong Kong and recognized for its Asian-inspired service, elegant properties and warm, personalized guest experience. The group operates hotels, resorts and residences across Asia, the Middle East, Europe and other international markets. Shangri-La properties typically offer restaurants, bars, event facilities, wellness services and extensive guest amenities, creating opportunities across culinary, rooms, commercial and operational departments. The company places strong emphasis on hospitality standards, staff development, cultural awareness and consistent service delivery. In Thailand, Shangri-La has established properties in major destinations such as Bangkok and Chiang Mai, serving leisure travelers, business guests and international events. Employees can generally expect a structured hotel environment, multicultural colleagues and access to industry training, although working hours can be demanding during peak seasons.
Thailand offers strong hospitality opportunities on islands and coastal destinations including Phuket, Koh Samui, Koh Phangan, Krabi and Koh Chang. Resorts, restaurants, bakeries and luxury hotels regularly recruit chefs, pastry professionals, servers, spa staff, engineers and guest-service employees. Life is generally relaxed and outdoors-focused, with beaches, markets, temples, seafood and a lively international community. Phuket and Samui have higher living costs, while smaller islands may offer a quieter lifestyle but fewer services and career options. Thai culture values politeness, respect for elders, modest dress at temples and saving face; learning basic Thai is very helpful. Foreign workers normally need an employer-sponsored Non-Immigrant B visa and work permit before legally starting employment. Employers may assist with documentation, accommodation, meals, transport or health benefits, but this varies by property. Candidates should confirm contract terms, probation, overtime, accommodation and visa support before relocating.
