Bangkok Business Pulse
- Culture Respectful and hierarchical. The "Sanuk" principle (fun) means keeping a positive and calm atmosphere.
- Lunch Break 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM.
- Pro Tip Call between 10:00 AM and 11:30 AM or 2:00 PM and 4:30 PM. Always maintain a calm, polite tone ("Jai Yen"). Showing anger or impatience ("Jai Rorn") will lead to a loss of respect. Use the "Wai" (traditional greeting) if on video, and always address people with the polite title "Khun".
Reykjavik Business Pulse
- Culture Informal, egalitarian, and values innovation and work-life balance.
- Lunch Break 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM.
- Pro Tip Reach out between 9:30 AM and 11:30 AM. Icelandic business culture is very informal and flat; do not worry about titles. Efficiency and honesty are highly valued. Punctuality is appreciated but the vibe is relaxed. Avoid calling late in the afternoon or on weekends strictly.
