It is also only 30-45 minutes by taxi from Suvannabhumi Airport.
The Bangkok office is an open plan office with height adjustable desks and other office facilities to emphasize working ergonomics. We also have big, open break out area with many tables and high chairs so staff can have informal meetings or change to a more relaxed informal working environment in order to break their routines. It also serves as a perfect venue for staff to gather during lunch, happy hours or any other functions. We pride ourselves on our friendly and personal atmosphere.
