Cartus Gold Award winner providing one-stop corporate relocation services since 2000.
Pacific Orientation Relocation Services (PORS) was founded in November 2000 by Danish entrepreneur Leo Emdal Alexandersen and his Thai wife Dharmaporn Alexandersen, with operations headquartered in the center of Bangkok. For over two decades, PORS has provided fully integrated expatriate relocation services to individuals, families, and corporations relocating to Thailand. This unique Danish-Thai partnership brings both international business standards and deep local cultural knowledge, making PORS especially effective at bridging cultural gaps for relocating expats. PORS has earned prestigious recognition from Cartus Corporation, one of the world's leading corporate relocation management companies. The company received the Commitment to Excellence Platinum Award at Cartus' 2023 Global Network Conference for outstanding contributions, and most recently received the Commitment to Excellence Gold Award at the Cartus 2025 Global Network Conference. These awards demonstrate PORS' consistent delivery of high-quality relocation services that meet rigorous international standards. PORS operates as a true one-stop service center coordinating all aspects of expatriate relocations to Thailand. Their comprehensive services include orientation to Thailand (cultural training and practical guidance), housing and school search assistance, immigration and visa processing, settling-in support for daily life establishment, and eventual departure services when assignments end. The company also facilitates connections to tax, legal, and accounting services through their professional network. With their central Bangkok office location at One Pacific Place on Sukhumvit Road and over 20 years of specialized experience, PORS has refined a systematic approach to making Thailand transitions smooth, efficient, and culturally sensitive for expats from around the world.
