Why do a consulting internship in Bangkok?

Bangkok sits at the centre of Thailand's business and commercial activity, with companies serving both the domestic market and customers across Southeast Asia. Its economy includes major industries such as tourism, hospitality, manufacturing, financial services, retail, consumer goods and technology.

That diversity gives consulting work in Bangkok a broad range of potential applications. Consultants may help businesses develop growth strategies, improve operations, understand changing consumer behaviour, expand into new markets or use technology to modernize their services.

Bangkok's position within Southeast Asia also creates an international dimension to consulting work. Organizations looking to expand across the region need to understand differences in consumer behaviour, business practices and market conditions from one country to another. For interns, this can provide an introduction to how consultants approach business challenges across multiple markets.

Bangkok is particularly strong in areas such as strategy consulting, business development, digital transformation, operations and market research, giving you exposure to advisory work shaped by both local and regional business opportunities.

"The people, firstly, are so, so nice. They’re very respectful, and if anything, they’re even more welcoming to tourists because they want people to have a good time. And secondly, the country itself is amazing. We travelled throughout Thailand, and the beaches and mountains were beautiful. The water was turquoise, and it was just incredible. Bangkok itself was also so lively. There was never a boring night. There’s always something to do and always something new to discover." - Qassim Hassain, intern in Bangkok

"You never know. I think we all have hesitations and reservations within ourselves, and entering a new environment, going to a country where you don’t speak the language, or starting an internship where you don’t really know what might happen can be scary. No one is saying that it isn’t. But I think the growth you can get from doing this program and being here, or wherever you end up going abroad, is going to build you up in a way that you maybe didn’t even realise you needed." - Samantha Hannigan, Bangkok intern

What is it like to live as a consulting intern in Bangkok?

Living as a consulting intern in Bangkok means experiencing a city where an international business community sits alongside a deeply established local culture.

The city is well connected to the rest of Thailand and Southeast Asia, making weekends an opportunity to explore beyond Bangkok. You might visit a beach, explore a historic city or spend time in the country's national parks.
