The Korat Name
The Korat has long been revered as a symbol of wealth and extreme intelligence, so much so that many Thai natives will tell you that it is not a cat but rather a species unto itself. These animals are capable of clever reasoning and often appear to know things before others. Korats bond with people -- and the key word is bond. The name Korat Consulting was selected because we believe that a consulting company should possess these attributes and strengths, at a bare minimum, in order to be successful. We keep the Korat in mind when working with clients and partners to provide an enjoyable, productive and memorable working relationship.
