Founded in 1988, CDM has been working alongside planners of incentive travel programs, meeting-related events, special interest movements and individual travel which require close attention to detail and inclusions not usually publicly available. CDM is in the forefront of destination management in Thailand, having served a wide range of movements from all continents with total commitment to successful program delivery.

Owned and managed by a team of professional and experienced Thai nationals, CDM upholds and presents the indigenous attributes of Thailand in their genuine values with concise communication and efficiency that can be fully appreciated by visitors of other cultures.

From the pulsating capital Bangkok to the cool green hills, from the white sun-drenched beaches of the south to rugged jungle treks in the north, from the tropical rain forest and marine national parks to the monumental world heritage sites, the Kingdom of Thailand offers an endless variety of exceptional travel programs.

With this website we aim to show glimpses of what Thailand and CDM can offer for memorable travel programs. Contact CDM for tailor-designed itineraries for your next movement to Thailand.

A SITE president wrote "Mention incentive travel in Thailand and the name Sumate Sudasna soon follows" upon conferring the Member of the Year award to him in 1995. Sumate is indeed one of the prominent personalities on the receptive side of the incentive travel industry in Thailand. He was also awarded World Incentive Travel Personality for Asia in 1993 by the organizers of EIBTM and IT&ME.

Since founding CDM in 1988, Sumate has dedicated his efforts on servicing the company's largely repeat clientele on their incentive, meeting-related, special interest groups and deluxe individual travel arrangements. With his highly capable team, Sumate is able to devote quality time 'giving back' at TICA - Thailand Incentive and Convention Association where he has served nearly every position on the board, to currently president of the association, a first from the private sector. Sumate has also been the principal contact of SITE Thailand Chapter for a number of years.

Chariya started working at the then Imperial Hotel Bangkok (now the Plaza Athenee stands on this property) and later at the Shangri-La as sales manager incentives & conventions. After joining CDM in 1991 she quickly adapted to life "across the fence" and bonded with many an incentive house working along their side for the kind of trip delivery that they expect - and more.

Innocently acquiring the nickname "Cruela", she insists her commitment to total client satisfaction may sometimes be exacting, but is always meant to achieve "win win" results. All of her fond fans do agree.

Troy entered the travel industry as a guide and worked at several incoming agencies for over a decade. After a stint at the Queen Sirikit National Convention Center, he joined up with the CDM team in 1993 and was able to apply his field experience and planning expertise to ground movement logistics execution rather smoothly and headache-free. Troy accomplishes his tasks with a cool smile, soft voice and no-nonsense glare. Many believe being a father of 3 girls has something to do with this non-belligerent personality!

Patranuch experience began at 2 leading global advertising agencies in Bangkok which gave her a taste of creativity, corporate competency and customer relationship management. Then she took 2 years off to complete post graduate education at Universidad Carlos III de Madrid and worked for a year at Casa Asia in Barcelona.

She has since thoroughly settled in DMC work, working on programs that highlight Thailand and helping clients achieve their goals. She has also diversified into convention management and is adept at meeting demands of international meeting events in and outside Thailand.

Winai's experience as groups co-ordinator at the largest hotel in Thailand - the Ambassador City with 5,000 rooms - and at a few DMCs after that has given him excellent training on logistical management. At CDM he controls transport and guide assignments, but don't let that boyish and shy impression fool you! Winai pretty much gets what he wants with an easy smile, the distinctive Supanburi drawl and an ever-present sense of humor.
