Do you have to pay any fees ? if yes how much ?

No fees should be requested to student, or trainee, the company should pay the agency to find the relevant candidate.

If you pay big amount, it is like you pay yourself for visa, work permit, and income if any even low

I had a look at their website and I noticed the following :

- Price through paypal with fee 4.5%
- price range from 100 USD to 1750 USD with a link to paypal but no explanations about what is included inside the 23 packages !! they proposed, you need to discuss with them.
- internship duration is 4 to 6 months under ED visa ( you can not get paid under ED visa you need B visa plus work permit ), maybe they will give you some compensation
- Management training Programs for 6, 12 to 18-month under, the non-immigrant ED or B visa

They offer support for the whole process as well as visa, but not precise what is included, it looks like you are not paid but as they said " Most host companies also offer free accommodation (or housing allowance), local transportation and meals "....

Most does not mean all, you need to understand your overall monthly budget to live in BKK

They not list any of the open vacancies with details and location.

If you go in google ( .co.th ) and type "hospitality internship thailand" or "hotel internship thailand" or "paid internship in thailand" or "internship in bangkok for international student" you will get many others similar companies will come up from the search engine

Good Luck
