You have finally reached a level of success in your start up business and you are realizing that in order to hire more people you are going to need to move your business to a larger location. However, because it is a business, you are going to need to do that without interrupting service to your customers. For some people it might be ok to interrupt service for a few hours but most businesses are a lot more time sensitive and not providing service for a day or two will lose you important customers.

Obviously the first thing you will need to do when moving a business is to find a commercial property management company that will be able to provide you with the type of space you need and the services that your business will need to grow stronger. You will also want to think about what they will be able to provide to you on the move in and the move out. You don’t want to move into a top floor of an office building that does not have a business service elevator to help get the desks and such into your new offices. Some companies like Transglobe property management do both commercial and private management and know just how hard moving a company can be and will provide these sorts of services while others may not.

The next thing you will need to do it plan out the move . Decide when certain things will be packed and moved. You will need to take a few trips and will probably want to move no more than half of the office is packed and moved at once. This will keep at least half of the staff up and able to help out. You will want to make sure that if you are changing phone numbers that customers know what date the old number is going down and what date the new number comes into affect. You will want some crossover because there will be customers who will get confused. Get employees who can not keep working at that moment to help move, this will speed up the process.

Doing these things will help you make the move smoother and you will be able keep the business running as though it was a regular business day.

Visiting Thailand can be an experiment in approaching contradictions, and the test is to see how judgement works in one’s own perceptions. Seeing it take hold, and watching it fade into the background when it becomes clear it does not matter, are great moments in world travel. These are, in fact, the very moments that can make a journey memorable, and to embrace the contradictions there is a kind of breakthrough in understanding.

In Pattaya, one of the most common contradictions that comes to the surface most frequently is that balance between the material world and that of the spirit. It’s a fascinating place, and can be one of the liveliest cities in the world at times. In some places, on most evenings, one can observe, or participate in, great excesses, consuming conspicuously enormous amounts of food, drink, and fun. In the same places, there might be small shrines to Buddhist spirits, and the traditions seem to suggest a release from the hold of all material things.

That the two things can exist in the same space can be a means of opening up a world view to include more things than were once dreamt of in some philosophies. In many places, especially larger buildings like hotels in Pattaya , one might find these shrines outside of the houses. These Spirit Houses are not necessarily Buddhist, and probably come from the animist traditions that precede Buddhism. There are some that will include some elements that are certainly recognizable as such, but these touches are likely to be more contemporary innovations.

In the tradition of Thai Spirit Houses , they are usually constructed so that they fall outside of the shadow of the actual house. They are, in a sense, that house in a miniature, and built so that the mischievous spirits of place will have a place to stay. There, they can be placated with food offerings, so that they will keep to their realm, and leave the living to their own devices. There are many touches all over Thailand that speak to these traditions, and hint at worlds of spirits that inhabit the waking one of the living. It suggests that the plane of experience is much more populated than one may have suspected, and there is much more in the world still to learn.
