Read a travel guide about Bangkok to practise and improve your reading skills.

Whether you’re travelling to the islands or the mountains of Thailand, you’re likely to spend at least one night in its capital city on the way. Bangkok might be noisy and polluted but it’s also an exciting city with plenty of things to see and do. Why not make it a longer stay?

Where to stay

The Khao San Road was a famous traveller spot even before Leonardo di Caprio’s character in the film The Beach stayed there. But it’s noisy, not very pretty and not very Thai. For something more authentic, Phra Kanong offers an alternative place to stay, with its fantastic street markets where everyday Bangkok people eat, work and live. It’s not as convenient for the main tourist sites, but it has a Skytrain station so you can be at the Grand Palace in 20 minutes.

How to get around

Bangkok’s traffic can be a nightmare. Sure, you can easily take a taxi – if you want to spend hours stuck in traffic jams – but there are two much better ways to get around the city. To explore the temples and historical sites, catch an express boat river taxi or a longtail boat along the Chao Phraya river and the canals. For the modern part of the city, the Skytrain is a fast, cheap way to travel from the river to the shopping malls and nightlife of Sukhumvit, and the famous Chatuchak street market.

Where to eat

The simple answer is: everywhere! Thai street food is among the best in the world, and for around $5 you can eat a filling and delicious meal. Some food stands have little plastic seats where you can sit and eat and they cook the same dish over and over, like fried chicken on rice or Pad Thai noodles. Head for Chinatown – Yaowarat Street – and choose whatever looks most interesting from the many excellent Chinese and Thai restaurants and food stands.  

What to do

After you’ve seen the main sites like the Giant Buddha at the temple of Wat Pho and the spectacular Grand Palace, and shopped at Chatuchak market, check out the snake farm and watch the live snake show. You can even touch a snake yourself if you want to!

What is Management

Management is a universal phenomenon. It is a very popular and widely used term. All organizations — business, political, cultural or social are involved in management because it is the management which helps and directs the various efforts towards a definite purpose. According to Harold Koontz, “Management is an art of getting things done through and with the people in formally organized groups. It is an art of creating an environment in which people can perform and individuals and can co-operate towards attainment of group goals”. According to F.W. Taylor, “Management is an art of knowing what to do, when to do and see that it is done in the best and cheapest way”.

Management is a purposive activity. It is something that directs group efforts towards the attainment of certain pre — determined goals. It is the process of working with and through others to effectively achieve the goals of the organization, by efficiently using limited resources in the changing world. Of course, these goals may vary from one enterprise to another. E.g.: For one enterprise it may be launching of new products by conducting market surveys and for other it may be profit maximization by minimizing cost.

Management involves creating an internal environment: — It is the management which puts into use the various factors of production. Therefore, it is the responsibility of management to create such conditions which are conducive to maximum efforts so that people are able to perform their task efficiently and effectively. It includes ensuring availability of raw materials, determination of wages and salaries, formulation of rules & regulations etc.

Therefore, we can say that good management includes both being effective and efficient. Being effective means doing the appropriate task i.e, fitting the square pegs in square holes and round pegs in round holes. Being efficient means doing the task correctly, at least possible cost with minimum wastage of resources.

7 Most Popular Jobs

Given that 66% of unemployed Americans have thought seriously about changing their occupation, what career paths are they most likely to pursue? Below, we outline seven of the most popular jobs in the U.S. right now.

1. Construction worker

Although COVID-19-related supply chain disruptions and border closures resulted in project delays, construction workers were deemed essential by the U.S. government and, in most parts of the country, construction work continued throughout the pandemic.

Despite a decline in the output of the construction sector in 2020, the industry is expected to quickly recover and grow by 15.6% in 2021 – supported by low mortgage rates and government protection forbearance and foreclosure on mortgage payments.

With major plans underway to expand healthcare centers across the country, construction workers can expect to find lots of exciting new job opportunities in this area. In the past six months alone, nine hospitals and health systems have announced, advanced, or completed expansion and renovation projects worth more than $1 billion.

2. Truck drivers

Trucking is a great industry to be in right now – the demand for workers is high and things are likely to stay that way for the foreseeable future.

McKinsey & Company notes that the growth of e-commerce in the past year has advanced job opportunities in delivery, transportation, and warehousing – predicting that the number of transportation job openings alone could grow by 800,000 in 2021.

In September 2020, Business Insider reported that a shortage of truck drivers combined with the rise of online shopping was generating record-breaking compensation for drivers.

3. Web developer

The rise of remote working and digitization will see job openings for web developers skyrocket in the coming years.  The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics predicted that the employment of web developers will grow 13% between 2018 and 2028, which is significantly higher than the average growth rate.

Not only is a career as a web developer highly future-proof, but it also pays pretty well and the specialist skills developed on the job provide plenty of opportunities for career progression.

4. Healthcare professionals

2020 was the year we all learned to value our healthcare professionals for the heroes they truly are. While jobs in this sector have always been deemed essential, and therefore pretty secure, the past year has seen an increased demand for skilled healthcare professionals.

The most popular positions include nurses, home aides, medical researchers and technicians, health services administrators, and physical therapists. McKinsey & Company predicts that demand for healthcare workers could grow to be higher than pre-pandemic levels with the need to find talent who can support the aging population and develop and deploy medical technologies.

5. Data scientist

Between 2016 and 2019 data scientist was named the number one job in the U.S. by Glassdoor. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that the demand for data science skills will drive a 27.9 percent rise in employment in the field by 2026.

In the past five years, the number of job postings for data scientists has grown exponentially. These professionals are needed in almost every industry, the average salary is $111,200, and average job satisfaction is 4.25 out of 5.

6. Software engineer

The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics projects that employment for software developers, which includes software engineers, will increase by 22% between 2019 and 2029.

The demand for new, innovative software and mobile applications will continue to grow, which will provide countless opportunities for skilled software engineers. In addition, the limited life span of code, increasing complexity of projects, and pace of change in technology mean that a career in software engineering is a pretty secure one.

7. e-commerce

The enforcement of nationwide lockdowns and the shift to remote working served to accelerate the rise of e-commerce in 2020. The number of online grocery shoppers increased from 16 million in August 2019 to 40 million in April 2020.

This resulted in a surge of job opportunities as demand for workers supporting retail and food delivery services rocketed. Walmart, for example, which is known for its robust e-commerce model, hired 200,000 employees at the beginning of the pandemic and significantly expanded its use of fulfillment centers.

If certain sectors, such as the hospitality industry, struggle to bounce back post-pandemic, displaced workers may well be able to find employment within e-commerce. Approximately 75% of people who used digital channels for the first time in 2020 plan to continue using them in the future.

The three most popular social networks

1. Instagram

Long the home of influencers, brands, bloggers, small business owners, friends and everyone in between, Instagram has topped well over 1 billion monthly users. If you’re wondering whether a meaningful segment of your audience spends time on the platform, the answer is almost surely a resounding yes.

Who’s on Instagram (and Why): Instagram has become one of the most popular social media platforms for teens and young adults, especially in the U.S. Use of the app slowly drops off with age but stays consistent across both men and women, so if your customers are under 40, then Instagram can’t be ignored.

The Content that Works Best on Instagram: Beautiful photography, stunning visuals, unique designs, selfie-style video that speaks directly to your audience and a cohesive theme to your content will help you stand out on Instagram.

You Should Prioritize Instagram if: Your target audience is under the age of 40, you run a lifestyle, ecommerce, or photography business.

2. YouTube

YouTube hails as the second most popular search engine in the world today, right behind its parent company, Google. If your business could benefit from producing video tutorials or walkthroughs, visually-driven instructional content, product reviews or interviews, then this social media platform is a must for reaching their more than 2 billion monthly users.

Who’s on YouTube (and Why): A whopping 73% of U.S. adults report regularly using YouTube, with a heavy concentration in the age range of 15 to 34 years olds. YouTube is broadly popular amongst both men and women, and usage tends to go up alongside income and level of education.

The Content that Works Best on YouTube: Video only. Depending upon your type of business and who your audience is, both long-form and short-form video content can work very well on this platform. Most viewers tune in for a combination of education and entertainment, so whether you’re teaching your audience about emerging marketing tactics or streaming video gameplay, work hard to retain their attention throughout your videos. You might also consider tapping into popular YouTube trends like unboxing videos (especially if you rep a physical product) and “with me” content that takes viewers along with you for the ride. Additionally, if starting a YouTube channel feels ambitious, partnering with YouTube influencers who are excited about your mission could help you test the waters before you dive in.

You Should Prioritize YouTube if: Your audience is below the age of 50 and consumes video content as a means of either education or entertainment.

3. Facebook

With nearly 2.5 billion monthly users, Facebook is hands down the largest social media site in the world. While that practically ensures at least some of your audience regularly uses the platform, it’s developed a somewhat negative reputation amongst younger users that are increasingly turning to other alternative sites.

Regardless, if your brand stands to benefit from sharing industry-related news, engaging (short-form) videos, graphics and other visually appealing content—especially if your primary audience is above the age of 30—then consider having a presence on Facebook. You might also consider leveraging Facebook groups to gather your customers or community in one place online. Facebook groups, unlike Facebook business pages, aren’t for advertising, but they can be helpful in creating conversation.

Who’s on Facebook (and Why): 68% of U.S. adults report using Facebook, with 51% saying they’re active multiple times daily. Usage is spread pretty evenly amongst males and females, while users tend to get increasingly active as age increases (especially beyond the 40+ year old demographic).

The Content that Works Best on Facebook: The more interesting, engaging or even polarizing your content is, the more likely it is to go viral on Facebook. Lean heavily on short videos, eye-catching images and attention-grabbing headlines to attract an audience. For Facebook groups, interactive content and conversation-starters are the way to go. Consider live streams and polls.

You Should Prioritize Facebook if: You want to reach an audience of adults and have engaging visual (or video) content that can capture their attention, invoke an immediate emotional response and make them excited to share with their friends. Or if you want an easy way to create an online community around a topic or business.
