CONNECTING TWO KINGDOMS OF ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITY.
Sathai was born out of an ambitious economic cooperation path charted by Saudi Arabia and Thailand since both countries restored their diplomatic ties in 2021. At a critical juncture for the global economy, we founded Sathai in 2022 with a vision to unlock bilateral business opportunities between the two kingdoms through capital, talent, and cultural exchange.
Our mission to create a cross-border business ecosystem between Saudi Arabia and Thailand is one that we believe can scale to developed and emerging economic hubs around the world.
Our growth philosophy is borderless, eradicating geographic, socio-economic, and cultural barriers for people and ideas with potential.
Building on years of entrepreneurial expertise, strong local roots, and a robust network of partners in Saudi Arabia and Thailand, our advisory and consultancy services ladder into four focal areas:
WE EMPOWER CROSS-BORDER BUSINESSES WITH THE KNOWLEDGE AND NETWORK THEY NEED TO UNLEASH THEIR POTENTIAL.

Sutima’s entrepreneurial journey has been heavily influenced by her own multi-cultural background and cross-market exposure in London and New York. It was at SOAS (School of Oriental and African Studies) that Sutima found her calling in connecting cultural and human capital for borderless economies and businesses. It was also where the young entrepreneur first developed an interest in the fast-transforming Middle East and other emerging markets.
While her professional path would lead her down a broad spectrum of remits with powerhouses in the retail and art fields – including with the Department of Asian Art at The MET (Metropolitan Museum of Art) – Sutima’s career has remained focused on one mission: to connect emerging markets to the global economy through knowledge and cultural exchange. Since 2016, Sutima has brought this mission closer to home, having established a platform to cultivate multigenerational dialogue and long-term partnerships between the Southeast Asian and global contemporary art scenes. At Sathai, Sutima is broadening this ambition to Saudi-Thai trade relations, harnessing her cultural repertoire and international expertise at the service of knowledge-based, cross- border economic development.

Sultan graduated with honors from the University College London (UCL), where he majored in urban planning, design, and management. His academic journey at UCL helped him gain a broad and cross-sectoral perspective on how seemingly disparate disciplines connect on common ground to move economies, businesses, and people forward.
