為什麼日本人想到海外工作
日本/西方文化影響
日本人思想受西方文化影響,許多人開始崇尚自由,不願意待在日本那種氣氛嚴肅、加班過多的日式公司文化裡;再者,日本人現在也跟台灣及許多其他國家的人一樣,想到外面試試自己的能耐,還有,日本有許多想增進自身語文能力的人,選擇到海外工作,對他們而言是一個很好的語言學習環境。
日企經營趨勢
最近海外日企正在歷經戰略轉型,推動人才本地化。日本年輕人也對「新當地雇用」趨之若鶩,收入既不低於日本,同時在海外的日企工作,升遷就比在日本本國快,還享有比在日本超高時工作外的生活餘裕。
日本經濟發展憂慮
最後是,過去近20年,日本經濟不好,20-30歲的日本年輕人,對日本的前景感到不安,因此普遍願意投資語言/專業能力,積極找尋海外發展的機會
為什麼日本人選擇泰國外派
工作方面
由於許多日本公司來泰國設廠,因此在日本就先找到派駐泰國的工作,或直接在泰國當地找日本公司工作的機會很多;
生活機能上
泰國已有許多日本村、日系超市等,(位於Thong Lor & Ekamai區),甚至還有許多日本人開設的卡拉OK等店,對日本人而言泰國生活難度不大,簡直就跟日本一樣,不太會產生離家遠想家的糾結;
外加曼谷是超級便利的大都市,比日本東京外的其他地區生活機能更優質便利,這點也很吸引日本人來泰國
物價水準
曼谷新大樓25樓的豪華公寓,租金2-2.5萬銖/月,很實惠
當然最後,物價也是很重要的一環,日本人只要在日本工作幾年,存一些錢後,來泰國可以撐很久,在泰國慢慢學習泰文、認識泰國文化,再慢慢尋找適合的工作,對日本人來說是遊刃有餘,經濟壓力小很多,有更多時間可以做好外派準備。

日本人來泰國外派後的感想
交友圈擴大
首先,跟所有外派的人一樣,日本人還是會遇到建立交友圈的問題,大多日本人是先想辦法認識同國籍的人開始,再慢慢拓展到泰國人、外國人交友圈上;在泰國,想學習日文的人相當多,因此日本人要交到泰國朋友非常的容易,參加語言交換、meetup泰日文化group就都能交到朋友。

高級生活享受
泰國物價非常便宜,日本人平常在日本時,較捨不得去的酒吧、KTV、或高檔餐廳….等高消費享受,一到了泰國,跟日本比起來就非常非常便宜,因此日本人生活在泰國娛樂品質提升許多,過得很舒服。
步調變慢,生活品質提升
泰國最出名的就是悠閒、步調慢,對於追求效率、積極向上的日本人來說,不用多久工作就能輕鬆上手,因此日本來在泰國外派,幾乎天天都準時下班,可以悠哉地享受下班後的生活,生活品質大大提高。

Most reservations for Thai restaurants, itineraries, and vacation apartments in Thailand require a local Thai bank account for booking. (Popular cafes in Thailand like the Maldives-themed Bubble in the Forest Cafe and many unique accommodations outside major cities, such as those in the Pilok area of Kanchanaburi, often do not have online booking and payment mechanisms.)
