There are too many places to cover so here are some places to go out for a couple of after-work drinks or feel free to contact me if you want more information about my favorite places to hang out.

//Thai culture

People

Thai people are a really friendly bunch! They’re used to foreigners and will accept them with open arms.

Food

Thai food is one of the world's favourite cuisine! After more than one year here I’m still getting surprised by new dishes and tastes! You will find all kinds of food for a range of prices, whether it be street food or more sophisticated restaurants.

Religion

Religion is really important here, so it’s a must to take it into consideration if you are looking to move to Bangkok or anywhere in Thailand. Buddhism is the main religion, which is followed by 93.6% of the population.

//SEA ecosystem

Localisation

Thailand is surrounded by many strategic emerging markets!

Singapore / HongKong / China / Japan / Korea, are all destinations reachable in short flying distance!

Flying in and out from Bangkok is really easy and cheap as well.

Startup/Tech scene

The startup ecosystem in Thailand is an interesting one, as it’s still not as mature as other Asian countries like Singapore, but you can still find some successful exits and stories. If you are interested in some data and names, I recommend you to search here.

There also a lot of tech events taking place all year long so you can connect with the tech scene via meetup.com or via events organised by co-working spaces you decide to join.

//Awesome locations to visit

Koh Samet

One of the nearer islands is Koh Samet, where it’s only about 2-3 hours drive from Bangkok’s city centre. It’s a perfect destination if you want to go chill for a weekend and without having to go too far away from city life! sweet escape 😘

Similan islands

Moo Koh Similan is one of the best-known island cluster in the Andaman Sea, largely because of the wonders that await beneath the clear blue waters surrounding it. It’s also listed among the 10 most interesting dive sites in the world.

Chiang mai

Chiang Mai is a city in the mountainous terrain in North Thailand and the city dates back to the 1200s. It’s also home to hundreds of elaborate temples, including the 14th-century Wat Phra Singh and 15th-century Wat Chedi Luang adorned with carved serpents from the 15th century.

Kanchanaburi

Kanchanaburi (pronounced gaan jà ná bù rii) (Thai: กาญจนบุรี) is a city located at the confluence of the rivers Kwai Noi and Kwai Yai and is also the site of where Japanese soldiers built a famous railway across Thailand in WWII.

As you can see, Bangkok (as well as the rest of Thailand) can offer some really unique sceneries to work and relax in and there are places to suit all tastes, whether or not you’re a mountain or a beach person.
