Firstly we want you to know that we are a quite small company, this has advantages and disadvantages.  Firstly you would be in the front line and exposed to a broad range of opportunities and experiences, you will most likely develop skills quickly as that is the environment we operate in as a start-up.  However, similarly, because we are small we do not have the capacity to exposure ourselves to large amounts of risk, that is, we have to work hard and efficiently as mistakes or slow work could sink us, unlike a large multinational which can absorb inefficient productivity.  Hence there will be a certain amount of demands on your time and a level of expectation of performance.
 
Whilst we do hope you enjoy your time and experience in Thailand, and we will undertake certain activities (travel) to ensure you are exposed to the culture, food and travel.  Please understand that we still expect a professional undertaking from your part, including on time arrival and performance, dedication to the task and professionalism, as we still have to ensure that company objectives are met and clients are satisfied.
