Business Planning Manager

WHO WE ARE

KFC's Always Original. As one of the world's most iconic brands with more than 25,000 restaurants in over 145 countries and territories around the world, we have passion for serving finger lickin good food. Fried chicken is our pride and joy. We're proud to serve high-quality chicken which freshly made with our secret recipes of 11 herbs & spices, then prepared by real cooks in our kitchens.

In 1984 the first KFC branch in Thailand was opened at the Central Ladprao Department Store and later expanded to more than 900 branches nationwide, followed by the other special branches that meet various Thai people's lifestyles today. KFC Thailand is currently administered by Yum Restaurants International (Thailand) Company Limited or Yum! Brands, one of the world's fastest-growing companies. In terms of brand love, KFC is widely discussed and talked about on all social media platforms, which makes us receive so many awards each year. And that is KFC Thailand's greatest accomplishment since then. The Colonel was all about doing things the right way. His values are still very much alive that you can see in our food, our people, our service, and our restaurants. Everything we make must be uniquely KFC.
