With its vibrant culture and busy streets, Thailand’s capital city can be both exciting and intimidating for first-time business travellers. If this is your first time visiting the city for business, here’s how you can make the most of your stay.
Choose the Right Accommodation
Choosing a centrally located hotel or accommodation that provides comfort and essential business amenities is best. Select any of the business hotels in Bangkok that are close to important corporate offices or venues, provide easy transportation access, and have conference rooms or meeting rooms.
Figure Out Transportation
Bangkok’s maze of bustling streets can be confusing but easy to navigate once you figure out your transportation. Familiarise yourself with the city’s MRT subway and BTS Skytrain systems. You can also rely on your hotel for taxis, or use local ride-hailing apps like Grab.
Understand Business Culture
Thailand’s business culture is based on humility, respect and politeness. Try to avoid aggressive negotiating and prioritise a patient approach during discussions. Make sure to wear modest clothing for meetings and hand out business cards which are considered important when meeting colleagues for the first time.
Use Your Downtime
Finding time to relax after a busy day in the city is crucial. You can explore Bangkok’s many temples, or visit its night markets. You could also explore the city’s culinary scene or enjoy a relaxing massage at renowned spas. You can enjoy all these and more if you stay at hotels like Avani Ratchada Bangkok Hotel.
