Co-workers. Colleagues. Teammates. There are many ways to refer to the people we work with but what really matters is the stories they tell. Elmwood Spa and Bangkok Garden are celebrating 35 years, and many staff have been a part of ours for just as long! Whether they contribute their bright smiles, support, or expertise, everyone play a big role and looks forward to making guests a part of the family. Here’s what some of them had to say:

Fariba Ghaderi
“We try to treat guests like they’re coming home. We’re not just a service provider. We’re family.”

Rosalee Ward
“I love my clients and the connection I make with them. You get to know them, their problems, and you get to have regulars coming back.”

Chef William Thethsombandith
“It’s when you feel your energy is drained after a very busy night, you can’t even crack a smile, but a simple compliment makes it all better. This one time, a server came to the kitchen and said ‘Hey Chef, guests at table 25 enjoyed their food very much and they just want to pass on the compliment to you and your team’! That just made my power bar charge up to the maximum again, hearing that the guests enjoyed their food that was created by our team”

Lidia Marjuszycz
“We’re a family. If something happens to a colleague we try to help whenever we can. And we try to treat guests the same way.”
