Rumors start about Facebook opening Thailand office in September

Rumors about Facebook opening an office in Thailand spread like wildfire after the company posted another Bangkok-based job listing on Friday.

Facebook is set to reveal more about its expansion to Thailand at a private event next month.

The invitation to the event, created on event management website Splash That, has been shared on several Thai tech blogs today, with speculation that Facebook Thailand will officially open its doors on Sept. 17.

While the event claims to be extremely exclusive, the invitation looks spammy and amateurish and it doesn’t even have a Facebook logo on it.

If Facebook plans to make a move to the land of smiles, don’t they want all of their 30 million users to know?

Anyway, it is a fact that Facebook has just posted another job listing for a “Client Solutions Manager” in Bangkok after it looked for the “Head of Thailand” in May. Looks like this candidate doesn’t need to be a Thai national or speak Thai.

Below is the job listing for Facebook, if you think you have what it takes.
