Employees at the organization have the opportunity to grow both personally and professionally because of its unique culture.
It's an environment where everyone feels welcome, valued and respected, which in turn fosters collaboration, innovation and creativity.
Here's how this positivity trickles down - when employees are truly valued, they radiate enthusiasm, and their work is a direct reflection of this upbeat attitude. The people-centric DNA of the organization shines bright, where every individual is cherished for who they are, with their distinct strengths and quirks adding flavor to the workforce melting pot. When you give employees the reins, handing them autonomy and opportunities to learn and grow, it's like unleashing a powerhouse - they're able to tap into their innermost potential, and the outcome is nothing short of remarkable. Moreover, this empowerment also fosters a sense of ownership, where each person feels invested in the company's success. In such an environment, innovation and creativity know no bounds, as everyone feels encouraged to bring their A-game.
This leads to innovative solutions, which ultimately benefit the customers.
The company's culture is akin to a masterpiece of art, where diverse brushstrokes of individuals blend in perfect harmony to create a vibrant tapestry of shared values and vision. Just as a rich aroma wafts from a skillfully brewed cup of coffee, this atmosphere permeates every corner of the organization, making everyone feel welcome, valued, and respected – a true sanctuary for collaboration, innovation, and creativity to flourish. The outcome is nothing short of breathtaking: employees blossom like flowers in spring, their work radiating positivity as brightly as a sunny day.
With people at its core, the company proudly wears its heart on its sleeve, recognizing that each individual is a precious gem with a unique facet to contribute. By entrusting them with autonomy and presenting opportunities for growth, it gently coaxes out their inner brilliance, much like a master chef carefully unfolds the delicate petals of a rose. As a result, innovative solutions burst forth like fireworks illuminating the night sky, ultimately benefiting customers in ways both grand and subtle.

Wat Rong Khun, or the White Temple, is perhaps the most unique temple for travelers to visit in Thailand. It was born from the devotion of National Artist Chalermchai Kositpipat.
Wat Rong Khun however is not a traditional temple. Its design does not match the traditional styles of other Buddhist temples throughout Thailand, and that was the artist’s intention.
He chose white instead of the typical gold to symbolize the Buddha’s pure nature.
His use of mirror fragments in the mosaics represents wisdom. As you move through the temple grounds, you find yourself in the artist’s surreal vision of Buddhist teachings. Around the temple you will also find coffee shops, souvenir stores, and restaurants for you to take a rest.
The admission to the temple is about 50THB per person.

It has food, handicrafts, clothing and and imported products of all descriptions, and a number of large, well-appointed modern shopping centers.
This place would be a paradise for bargain shoppers. At first, the market was owned by Chinese merchants, but since it has grown in size as more commercial buildings were built, it was no longer owned by a single group of people. Instead, there are many local owners selling things here.
The best night of shopping in Chiang Mai is the Sunday Night Market, or 'Walking Street'.
