About the employer

The Athenee Hotel, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Bangkok, is a five-star Marriott International property located in the central Wireless Road district. Inspired by Thailand’s royal heritage and the former Kandhavas Palace, the hotel combines elegant design, refined service, and local cultural character. It offers luxury accommodation, restaurants and bars, meeting and event facilities, wellness services, and personalized guest experiences. As part of Marriott’s Luxury Collection, the property serves international leisure travelers, business guests, and high-end events. Employees and interns typically work within a structured global hospitality environment, gaining exposure to professional service standards, hotel operations, multicultural teamwork, and career development opportunities.

Working in Thailand

Thailand offers opportunities in hotels, resorts, restaurants, tourism, diving, wellness, retail, and digital work, especially in Bangkok, Phuket, Koh Samui, Krabi, and nearby islands. Island life is generally relaxed and outdoors-oriented, with beaches, markets, temples, seafood, and strong local community traditions. Thai culture values politeness, respect for elders, modest dress at temples, and maintaining a calm manner. Costs are higher in major resort areas than in mainland cities, while transport may depend on ferries, taxis, or motorbikes. Foreign workers normally need an appropriate visa and work permit; employers usually sponsor these for eligible positions. Interns may require an education-related visa or another approved arrangement, so requirements should be confirmed with the university and employer. Relocation planning should include accommodation, health insurance, banking, local transport, and rainy-season conditions.
