Thailand Expat Questionnaire

19 years ago

Dear Thailand Expatriate:

I am taking a global human resource management course at the George Washington University. I need to design a training manual that would be used to train expatriates going to Thailand. A requirement of the project is contacting expats in order to obtain knowledge about Thai culture that would make an expats transition to Thailand as smooth as possible. I would be grateful if you would take a few moments to read the questions below and email your responses to me at: [email protected]. Also, please feel free to include any other information I missed that may be of importance.

Sincerely,

Houtan Mova
