“บริษัทที่สอนให้ฉันกอด” !!

What is your full-time job? Why your company is really chill?

My social media followers asked me that 😁

I have been working in this company for almost 7 years and now today (29 Mar 2019) is my last day here… hmm actually is our last day .. as our company will be downsized in BKK.

I started my first job here with the purpose to “IMPROVE my English in International Company” as a Front-end developer of “ABC Tech Thailand” which was part of Telenor Group, Norway.

I was in ABC Nyheter Team.. omg such a Great Team & experiences so far ❤💯 I will never forget!

LEARNED: “How to HUG” ❤

I still remember when my CEO would hug me just for saying goodbye after the company hangout, and I refused!!😅 “No no that is not Thai Culture to say goodbye ~Men & Women, we do not touch each other like that..” 😂😂😂 ( I was 26 years old)

Then we laughed and somehow I became the HUGGER!!

By far, I HUG this company back with no doubt as we became a warm family!

____

LEARNED: Discover me.

I got opportunities to travel & work in Norway which made me became a Part-time Travel Blogger. It might sound normal this day but it was a new thing that challenged me at the time 🙂

“Keep learning new things in life” ( 15 countries that I have been to while I was working here).

I still remember my first day was on a “ Company trip” on the beach, I didn’t work with them yet but I already traveled with them until now. After working as a Front-end developer for 3 years. I changed my role to Test Automation Engineer with “Startsiden.no & ABCNyheter.no”, I feel it was one of my achievements that built something from scratch and people able to use and maintain after I left the project 🙂

2017, We ended up with “WOWBOX” with a new company name .. “ Telenor Digital Asia” and hands-on a 15M installed app launched in Bangladesh, Pakistan and Myanmar. Such an interesting experience to learn the culture and business of these 3 counties (First time visiting Pakistan and Myanmar). And glad to work with this team, it was up & down sometimes but no matter the issues we faced we tried to deal with them as a team! So proud to be on this journey with you guys.

There are more people that aren’t in these pics but I still remember everyone in my mind. ❤

Huge Family + Amazing Company that I should talk about!

😊 ABC Tech Ltd. (Thailand) & Telenor Digital Asia 🇹🇭
