The Journey of Our Hotel Business: From Humble Beginnings to Global Influence
Since our founding in 1979, our journey in the hospitality industry has been one of growth, resilience, and the pursuit of excellence. Our story began with a simple vision: to create a unique space where travelers could enjoy the beauty of Krabi and feel the warmth of Thai hospitality. From the rustic bamboo huts that marked our beginnings to the expansive operations we manage today, our business has evolved significantly over the decades. This is our story of transformational testament to dedication, innovation, and a passion for exceptional hospitality.
Our Humble Beginnings: The First Step in Krabi
The year 1979 was a landmark moment for us as we established our first property a modest collection of seven bamboo huts, which we called "bungalows." Nestled in the pristine beauty of Krabi, these huts provided a simple yet unforgettable experience for travelers. Equipped with traditional lamps and offering a room rate of just 100 THB per night, we focused on making the most of Krabis natural wonders by providing comfort in its purest form. Our guests experienced a true escape, surrounded by natures splendor and immersed in a setting that captured the spirit of authentic Thai living.
During the early years, we learned that hospitality was much more than providing rooms; it was about creating meaningful experiences, understanding our guests, and welcoming them with genuine care. The dedication of our small team, combined with our understanding of the unique beauty of the region, helped lay a foundation that would support our future growth.
Growth and Expansion: A Decade of Transformation
Ten years later, by the end of the 1980s, it became clear that we needed to expand to accommodate the increasing number of travelers drawn to Krabis pristine beaches, limestone cliffs, and serene landscapes. We began adding more rooms to our property, gradually increasing our capacity. With each additional bungalow, we improved upon the guest experience, incorporating more amenities and ensuring each stay remained true to our original vision offering warm hospitality and a memorable escape.
As the tourism sector in Thailand began to flourish, we saw an opportunity to grow further. During the 1990s, we expanded beyond our original location in Krabi, establishing our presence in other key destinations like Koh Lanta and Koh Samui. By strategically investing in popular areas, we were able to establish a portfolio of properties, each unique but tied together by our commitment to service. By the end of the 1990s, we had over 1,000 rooms across multiple locations, serving thousands of guests from around the world.
This growth was powered by a deep understanding of what travelers were seeking: authentic experiences combined with comfort. We incorporated the natural beauty of each location into our properties, building spaces that blended seamlessly with the environment while providing modern conveniences.
Entering a New Era: Hotel Sales and Investment Opportunities
In the late 1990s, we reached a significant turning point in our journey. Having built a strong foundation across multiple locations and earned a solid reputation for quality and service, we decided to diversify our business strategy. This included selling some of our properties to expand our reach even further and attract new investors interested in the hospitality industry.
Our approach was not just about running hotels; it was about creating valuable investment opportunities. We began to actively seek partners and investors who shared our vision of growth in the hospitality sector. We provided a range of offeringsincluding resorts, hotels, and pool villaseach designed to deliver both an excellent guest experience and a strong return on investment. This shift allowed us to bring in new ideas, financial resources, and collaborators who helped fuel our expansion efforts further.
The Technological Leap: Launching Our Hotel Management System
The year 2000 marked another pivotal moment for our company as we stepped into the world of technology. We launched our very own hotel management system, which included a Property Management System (PMS), Channel Managers, and a cloud-based platform that allowed hotel owners to streamline their operations.
We understood that the hospitality industry was rapidly changing, and to keep up with the competitive landscape, hotels needed to leverage the power of technology. Our system was designed to cater to the needs of hotels worldwide, enabling them to efficiently manage bookings, optimize revenue, and deliver a seamless experience to their guests. By offering cloud-based solutions, we empowered hotels to access and manage their business from anywhere, anytime.
Our innovative platform quickly gained traction, and today, our system is used in over 50 countries, with more than 1,000 hotels across the globe as part of our network. This technological leap not only allowed us to modernize our own operations but also contributed to the advancement of the hospitality industry at large.
