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 characters 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 as chairman of Marketing, Services Development, Membership & PR committees, Vice President and Secretary General. Sumate has also been the principal contact of SITE Thailand Chapter for a number of years.

Director
Chariya Sudasna
|
|
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!

Project Manager
Karntheera Timsri
|
|
Karntheera, Tina or Tueg is well liked by planners because of her professional determination and ultra polite manners. Another CDM team member with a hotel background, Tina finds her work always challenging and eye opening. Her years at Novotel Bangna, Royal Princess Srinakarin and Shangri-La Bangkok assembled her solid foundation for servicing demanding groups at CDM. One of the cutest members of our team, Tina' industrious habits and inconspicuous reliability are not overlooked because of her size and tingle-bell voice.

Patranuch’s first work experience started 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 is enjoying DMC work tremendously, preparing programs that highlight Thailand
and helping clients achieve their goals.

Operations Supervisor
Winai Saeng-in
|
|
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.
