Lumphini is Bangkok's premier business district, a hub where global corporations and cutting-edge spots converge. The daily routine of Thailand's next-generation "Modern Professionals"--contemporary business people who leverage cutting-edge tools to work smartly--is is smart and highly energetic.

While LY Corporation expands its business operations globally beyond Japan, here in Thailand, "LINE MAN Wongnai" has grown deeply rooted as an essential service for everyday life, supporting everything from food delivery to transportation. Driven and ambitious, professionals in Thailand's business scene are equally passionate about their work and their food. How do these services seamlessly blend into their lifestyles, where time efficiency is highly valued?

To find out, we spent a day with young LINE MAN Wongnai employees, who shape services that stay closely connected to people's daily lives every day. Through a real day in the life of these employees--modern professionals themselves--we report on the LINE ecosystem and the smart lifestyle in Thailand.

11:00 | "What Should We Eat?"--A Time-Efficient Lunch Routine

In Thailand, lunch hour typically runs from 12:00 to 13:00. However, once the clock strikes noon, office building elevators become heavily congested. Stepping outside means facing intense heat exceeding 35 degrees or sudden tropical downpours. While business professionals working in Bangkok's cutting-edge tech environment are strict about returning to work on time, they also want to make the most of their break. That's why they place a strong emphasis on time efficiency.

Unwilling to waste their precious lunch break standing in lines or heading out in the heat, group chats like this start popping up on their computers and smartphones at 11:00 AM:

A: "กินไรดี? (Kin Rai Dee? / 'What should we eat?')"
B: "Hey, the dishes from that newly opened place near here is available on LINE MAN! To make sure we get something good, why don't we pick a restaurant with a 'Users' Choice' award?"
C: "Great idea! Let me share the 'Group Order' link. Everyone, add whatever you like from your own phones!"
D: "Oh nice, if we bundle our orders, we can use a discount coupon. Plus, it qualifies for free delivery. Perfect!"

For these professionals working in a cutting-edge tech environment, checking the "LINE MAN Wongnai Users' Choice" as a guide to quality while cleverly hunting for free delivery options and promotions is the smart way to order.

The "Group Order" feature, which aggregates everyone's choices into a shared cart, allows team members to add their favorite dishes from their own devices and seamlessly pay only for their own items, making it a staple office communication tool among the team.

Iconic Comfort Foods Delivered Straight from Trendy Eateries

On this day, the team ordered from "Nittaya Kai Yang," a long-established and beloved Thai restaurant brand that has been part of everyday Thai dining culture for decades. Their grilled chicken (kai yang), green papaya salad (som tam), and spicy minced pork salad (larb moo) represent some of Thailand's most iconic comfort foods. These are also among the all-time best-selling menu on LINE MAN. They are absolutely perfect for group lunches, as Thai people traditionally enjoy sharing multiple dishes rather than ordering individual meals.

To complete the feast, they also selected Pad Thai--Thailand's signature dish--from "Thep Pad Thai," a highly popular spot co-owned by the famous YouTuber Mark Wiens.

Through LINE MAN, the latest food trends and beloved traditional comfort foods are served smartly right in the office, eliminating the need to leave the building.

14:00 | Seamless Travel with "LINE MAN RIDE": Footwork that Accelerates Business

In the afternoon, it's time to head out for a client meeting. Bangkok is notorious for heavy traffic, making the BTS or MRT (trains) the standard choice during peak commuting hours. However, for getting around during the day, "LINE MAN RIDE" is absolutely essential.

To use "LINE MAN RIDE," there is no need for a separate app. Vehicles can be summoned with a single tap straight from the LINE communication app, which they use every day as a super app. Furthermore, the environmentally friendly electric vehicles (EVs) introduced by "LINE MAN RIDE" receive strong support from sustainability-conscious next-gen professionals. Naturally, payments are handled seamlessly through "LINE Pay."

16:00 | Afternoon Refreshment: Powering New Ideas with Thai Tea

At 16:00, as desk work and meetings wrap up for a moment, it's time to clear the mind. Team members invite one another to take a quick refreshing break at an in-building café or a nearby coffee stand.

For these next-gen professionals, a rich, vibrant orange Thai Tea (Cha Yen) or a sweet toast topped with custard sauce ("Khanom Pang Sangkhaya") is a vital energy source to power through the rest of the workday. Sipping these refreshing treats often sparks fresh inspiration and creative ideas.

Even during these relaxing moments, their actions remain completely seamless. They place a pickup order in advance through the LINE MAN app, pay instantly with their linked credit card via LINE Pay, and simply walk into the cafe to collect their freshly prepared snacks--no waiting, no payment at the counter. Leaving their desks with nothing but a smartphone and finishing the payment entirely cashless and hassle-free--this light, unburdened style perfectly symbolizes the sophisticated workflow of Bangkok's cutting-edge office districts.

18:00 | A Walkable Oasis: The After-Work Health Culture

At 18:00, as the workday wraps up, notifications from the "#Club-Dance" channel light up the team's Slack app: "Anyone up for aerobics at Lumphini tonight?"

Those who can join quickly change into their workout clothes and walk over to Lumphini Park, located right beside the office. Engaging in after-work outdoor activities like running or aerobics in the park has become a massive lifestyle trend among Bangkok's modern professionals.

Upon arriving at Lumphini Park, hundreds of people have already gathered. Attracting nearly a thousand participants every evening--ranging from students and office workers to retirees--this aerobics session turns into a massive "open-air club," with high-volume EDM, T-POP (Thai pop), and club remixes echoing from professional sound systems.

Supporting the Community's Smiles: The LINE MAN "M" Stage

Standing at the very front of this high-energy session, participants will notice a special stage featuring LINE MAN's character "MOON" alongside professional audio equipment. Instructors and LINE MAN Wongnai employees wearing matching shirts sporting the green "M" logo sweat it out together with radiant smiles.

Interestingly, this stage was installed because a group of LINE MAN Wongnai employees who regularly joined these sessions noticed that it was difficult for people in the back of the massive crowd to see the instructor's movements--a real insight gained from a user's perspective.

For Bangkok's next-gen professionals, "LINE MAN Wongnai" feels incredibly close and relatable because it is built by employees who are just like them--modern professionals who turn real-life observations from their own daily routines into actual business ideas. Rather than simply offering convenience, the service stands right beside people seeking healthy lives, acting as a dependable companion that adds a touch of joy to their everyday routines.

19:00 | After the Workout: Dinner at a Trendy Hawker Center

After breaking a refreshing sweat, they head over to the newly established hawker center in Lumphini Park. This hot new spot brings together local eateries and street foods all under one roof. Taking out their favorite dishes and spreading them out on a park bench while enjoying the pleasant evening breeze is their classic way to unwind.

Inside the hawker center, many merchants use the Wongnai Merchant App to manage food delivery orders, making it a common sight to see LINE MAN riders picking up meals throughout the area. At the counter, they were able to collect their food seamlessly, blending naturally into the busy flow of the space.

Payments are completed immediately by scanning smartphones over the "LINE Pay QR Box." which instantly plays an audio confirmation when the payment is completed, so both customers and shop owners can feel assured that the transaction has gone through smoothly. From finishing a workout to making a smart payment, the entire sequence flows beautifully and seamlessly.

Having enjoyed a fulfilling day, the team members head home by taking the BTS or MRT from a nearby station, avoiding the rush-hour traffic gridlock.

Shaping Services That Stay Close to Bangkok's Ever-Changing Daily Life

From time-saving lunches and smart EV rides during the day to wallet-free quick payments, an energetic after-work workout, and picking up dinner at hawker center--the day of Bangkok's leading office workers is connected seamlessly through the LINE MAN Wongnai ecosystem.

"Making our own daily lives more joyful and convenient through the services we create." Maintaining a genuine user perspective while creating new services as modern professionals, the employees of LINE MAN Wongnai are shaping the future. Their relatable, active lifestyles and vibrant smiles will undoubtedly continue to design Thailand's new daily landscape, filling the city with smiles for years to come.
