Why intern at a DMC and not a desk job.
Travel-industry careers are built on ground knowledge — how a transfer actually runs, why an allotment matters, what an agent needs to close a booking. Interning inside a live Thailand DMC gives you that faster than any classroom.
- A named mentor and structured onboarding — you are never left to guess.
- Real responsibility on live work — not coffee runs and filing.
- A completion certificate and reference letter, plus university-credit paperwork where needed.
- A path to full-time roles — strong interns are first in line when positions open.
- Stipend and terms discussed individually per role, mode and duration — confirmed in writing before you start.

Questions applicants ask.
How do I apply for an internship at Explera?
By email only, to hr@explera.co.th — with your CV, a short cover note, your chosen track and whether you want remote or in-house Bangkok. We do not accept applications via forms, social media or portals.
Can I intern remotely from outside Thailand?
Yes. Remote internships are open worldwide — you need a laptop, internet of at least 10 Mbps, a webcam, and at least 4 hours of daily overlap with Bangkok time (UTC+7). Remote interns get the same mentor, real deliverables and completion certificate as in-house interns.
What are the minimum requirements to apply?
Age 18+, working English (about B2), and a continuous availability window of at least 3 months at 20–40 hours per week. Each track adds its own requirements, listed in its specification above — for example a portfolio for the content track, or native-level language skills for market support.
Are internships paid?
Stipend and terms are set per role, mode and duration, and are confirmed in writing before you start — ask in your application and we’ll state the terms for your track. Explera never charges any application or placement fee.
Do I need a visa for the in-house internship in Bangkok?
Non-Thai candidates arrange their own visa or study-permission for Thailand; we advise on the paperwork and provide the supporting internship documents your institution or embassy requires. If a visa is a hurdle, the remote mode gives you the same tracks from anywhere.
How long is an internship, and when can I start?
Typically 3–6 months, with year-round intakes — tell us your availability window in your application and we’ll match you to the next start date for your track. University-credit internships are supported with your institution’s paperwork.
Can an internship lead to a full-time job?
Yes — strong interns are first in line when full-time positions open across operations, sales, marketing and market desks. Every intern also leaves with a completion certificate and a reference letter.
How fast will I hear back after applying?
We acknowledge every application within 3 business days. Shortlisted candidates are invited to a video interview with the track lead, and successful candidates receive a written offer stating dates, mode, hours and terms.
