Thailand: Cross-Cultural Awareness Training in London, UK


It happens every now and then: a successful professional gets promoted to the Bangkok branch office. He or she departs starry-eyed and bushy-tailed only to come rushing back home a few months later, unable to cope with the new country. Or even worse, he or she keeps on and bungles everything beyond repair because what works back home does not always work abroad. Employees' culture shock can cost their company much more than just the cost of relocation.

Thailand, the tropical paradise and a South-East Asian economic powerhouse. This is where I got my first job after graduation. I went through the usual W-pattern of culture shock myself before it became my second adopted home. The way things are done here are so radically different, someone needs to fill you in beforehand.
