Fai is a sheer pleasure to work with. Her strong work ethic and vibrant personality are hard matched. Intelligent and effective are words I would use to describe her.

Warren Kok

Fai is one of the the most outstanding members in the Kidzania Bangkok team. She leads by example and mentors ang guides her Group Sales team, to great success in achieving multiple revenue targets within her sales portfolio, especially during thriving moments and challenging times within the tourism landscape in Bangkok. She is always ready to "roll up her sleeves" and assist her team members, the school teachers and kids whom we work with, and other colleagues within the Senior Management team to ensure a solid visitor experience for any event in Kidzania. I am most heartened to work with such an excellent individual and I am certain that she will have the opportunity, leadership ability and competency to lead an organization in the very near future.

      CREAM is a creative literacy centre for children, based in Bangkok. Where CREAtive Mind tells stories https://www.facebook.com/creambangkok/ We dream up an imaginative space ‘HOTEL CREAM’—a hotel for time-traveler and creatures of all sorts—to inspire storytelling and engage children in literacy in the most exciting and inspiring ways. We offer many literacy programs, workshops, and out-of-school clubs, to encourage children to embrace their creative minds, inspire the love of literacy and learning, and to empower them to realise their potentials by creating and sharing stories with others. Inspired by 826 Valencia in San Francisco, Ministry of Stories in London, and 100 Story Building in Melbourne, as well as other wonderful writing organizations across the world, the CREAM team pledges to bring the magic of literacy to Bangkok to create the fun and meaningful learning experience for our children and empower them to do amazing things.
