There are many joint-venture companies which are managed by foreigners and modern Thais. These companies have adapted the Western and European working environment into the Thai working environment and are receptive nation-wide. The management group of Thailand companies are now in the hands of younger and modern generation. Therefore, the working environment is much different from 5-8 years ago. Salaries and benefits are very competitive.
Most companies offer very good health care and benefit packages.
Some companies offer stock options and hopefully more and more company will consider this as an option in the future. To be successful in Thai workplace, the individual must understand both the multi-national and the Thai management styles because most of the time you have to deal with these two ideologies in the same workplace. Women now have as equal an opportunity as men in the workplace. There is no more gender discrimination in professional careers. However, there is still a belief that the labor force productivity is based on the age and gender work force.
