As our resort is for adults only, this is really giving me an interesting perspective on people’s tastes, their likes and dislikes, their need for privacy and so on. My experience here at Karon is I feel going to be very useful for me in my future career.

I am gaining experience at both the food and beverage, and the front office aspects. This is a very good opportunity for me to learn across a broad range of activities, and I am being given every encouragement and kindness by the resort team.

I am working right on the beach at Kata, one of Phuket’s loveliest beaches, so I am really fortunate. Also, I have always been interested in working with children, and as this is a family resort I am dealing with the young ones every day.

At the front desk here, I get to do a bit of everything. One moment I can be processing a family check-in, or helping with their luggage, and the next I can be advising a group on Phuket’s local attractions. I’m dealing with people all the time, and my English is coming along nicely.

Families come here for the resort life, with one of the big attractions being our swimming pools for all ages, and the big water slides. To see the excitement in the children’s faces each day makes me feel really happy myself.

At a family resort like this, with hundreds of kiddies around all the time, I feel already that I can make a big difference to someone’s holiday. And I am learning so quickly too, especially being part of the F&B team, as children can be very demanding with their food preferences! I am thoroughly enjoying learning here.
