About the employer

Montien Riverside Hotel Bangkok is a full-service riverside hotel in Bangkok, Thailand, serving business travelers, leisure guests, groups, weddings, and events. Its location along the Chao Phraya River provides access to Bangkok’s commercial districts, cultural attractions, shopping areas, and transport connections. The property offers accommodation, food and beverage outlets, meeting and event facilities, and the service standards expected of an internationally marketed hospitality business. The Assistant Director of Sales position focuses on strengthening the hotel’s market presence and building valuable relationships with corporate accounts, tour operators, event organizers, and other travel partners. Employees can expect a multicultural working environment, close cooperation between commercial and operational departments, and a strong emphasis on guest satisfaction, revenue growth, and professional service. Exact ownership, brand affiliation, benefits, and employment conditions should be confirmed directly with the hotel during recruitment.

Working in Thailand

Thailand offers strong hospitality, tourism, sales, restaurant, wellness, and resort-management opportunities, especially in Phuket, Koh Samui, Krabi, Pattaya, and Bangkok. Phuket has the broadest international resort market, while Koh Samui offers a more relaxed luxury-island lifestyle. Thai culture values politeness, respect for hierarchy, patience, and friendly personal relationships; learning basic Thai is highly useful. Island living usually means warm weather, beaches, outdoor activities, and a slower pace, although housing, transport, and healthcare can be more expensive or limited than in Bangkok. Foreign employees generally need a prospective employer to sponsor a Non-Immigrant B visa and work permit before legally working. Requirements vary by nationality and position, and applicants should confirm current rules with the Thai embassy and employer. Relocation planning should include housing, insurance, tax registration, banking, and rainy-season considerations. Bangkok is usually the easiest base for transport and career progression.
