Thailand

Bangkok, the dynamic capital of Thailand, offers a unique blend of tradition and modernity. A major commercial hub rooted in its history as a 15th-century trading post, the city thrives in sectors such as retail, manufacturing, property, transport, and communications.

While it buzzes with business activity, Bangkok maintains a more relaxed pace compared to other Asian megacities, supported by efficient public transport and warm, welcoming locals. Visitors can explore a rich cultural landscape of golden temples and historic landmarks, including the Grand Palace, Wat Phra Kaew, and Wat Arun, set alongside sleek skyscrapers, vibrant street markets, and upscale shopping malls. With its mix of ornate shrines, river life, and modern conveniences, Bangkok offers a rewarding and accessible introduction to Southeast Asia for today’s business traveller.
