Soho House Bangkok marks the brand’s first entry into Southeast Asia. Located in the lively Sukhumvit 31 district, this three-storey property blends members’ club, coworking spaces, bars, dining, and a rooftop pool — all needing seamless IT integration.
MicroNet was appointed to deliver end-to-end IT infrastructure deployment and technical services, supporting Soho House’s regional and global technology standards. We collaborated with Soho House’s UK and local project teams to ensure that all systems — from wireless coverage and security to user onboarding and third-party integration — were ready in time
for launch.
