WINNING WITH THAIS IN WORK AND LIFE
Overview
• This one day Thai cultural awareness program for expatriates truly opens the door to the secrets of
Thai culture. This program is excellent for both newly arrived expatriates and long standing
expatriates who want to learn how Thais think, what drives them and how to win them over! This
workshop guarantees the answers to some of the greatest cultural barriers between Thais and
expatriates. Save time, frustration and energy!!
• Winning with Thais in Work and Life is designed to provide participants with valuable understanding
and appreciation for Thai culture in the context of work and life. Participants will find this course
beneficial on a number of levels, not only are the common aspects of Thai culture covered but also
the hidden elements of Thai culture that are not always apparent to foreigners living or working in
Thailand.
• Understanding these hidden aspects allows participants the opportunity to tackle and overcome the
cross cultural issues that are so common among expatriates and Thais. The program undoubtedly
assists participants in acclimatizing to life in Thailand as well easing the pressures and frustrations
that are commonly experienced by many who lack the fundamental knowledge of Thai way!
