About the employer

Royal Orchid Sheraton Riverside Hotel Bangkok is a landmark riverside hotel located along the Chao Phraya River in Bangkok. The property operates under the Sheraton brand, part of Marriott International, one of the world’s largest hospitality companies. It serves leisure travelers, business guests, groups, and events, offering accommodation, restaurants, meeting facilities, recreational amenities, and river views. The hotel’s operations depend on coordinated teams across rooms, food and beverage, engineering, finance, sales, and human resources. As a Marriott-affiliated property, it is generally associated with structured service standards, employee training, international brand procedures, and opportunities to work with colleagues and guests from different countries. The hotel is well placed for access to Bangkok’s cultural attractions, commercial areas, public transport, and riverside communities.

Working in Thailand

Thailand offers strong hospitality, tourism, restaurant, wellness, marine, and customer-service opportunities, especially in Bangkok, Phuket, Koh Samui, Krabi, and Pattaya. Island life is generally relaxed and outdoors-focused, with beaches, water activities, local markets, Buddhist traditions, and welcoming communities. Living costs vary: Phuket and Koh Samui can be expensive in tourist areas, while smaller islands may be quieter but have fewer services and jobs. Hospitality salaries are often lower than in Western countries, though accommodation, meals, service charge, or transport may be included. Foreign workers normally need an employer-sponsored Non-Immigrant B visa and a Thai work permit before starting employment; requirements depend on nationality and role. Relocating employees should confirm contracts, benefits, housing, insurance, tax obligations, and visa support. Bangkok is best for transport and career variety, while the islands offer a more scenic lifestyle and seasonal tourism work.
