Bangkok--14 Jan--WESTERN INTERNATIONAL
Best Western International (BWI) has named Seksan Sukcharoen as general manager of the Best Western Premier Signature Pattaya in Thailand scheduled to soft-open in March this year.
Sukcharoen brings 18 years of hospitality experience to the position, having served in managerial posts at a number of hotels and resorts in some of Thailand’s top tourist destinations, including Chiang Mai, Pattaya and Samed Island.
He started his hospitality career in 1990 as front office manager for the Grand Garden Resort & Golf Club and later moved to work in the same position for the Green World Hot Spring Hotel Resort & Golf Club, Kanchanaburi, and Welcome Jomtien Beach Hotel.
Sukcharoen also has extensive experience in city center properties such as the Siam Heritage Boutique Suites in Bangkok and resort operations, including Mantra Pura Resort and Spa in Pattaya, where he was general manager.
Before joining Best Western Premier Signature Pattaya, he headed the pre-opening team of Best Western Chiang Mai and, as general manager, provided direction for the hotel’s business goals and operations.
With his new appointment, Sukcharoen takes on the responsibility of implementing international operations standards and revenue maximization as well as the establishment of the hotel’s operational and financial goals.
Best Western Premier Signature Pattaya falls under Best Western’s high-end “Best Western Premier” brand that offers services, amenities and design features at the luxury end of the hotel spectrum which are over and above those offered by the international-standard Best Western brand hotels.
The newly branded hotel offers 132 tastefully-designed guest rooms with superior services and amenities, including a restaurant serving quality international cuisine, a bar, an outdoor swimming pool, fitness center and sauna. The hotel’s location provides easy access to the beach front as well as to the embarkation point for boat excursions to nearby islands. It also places Pattaya’s prime entertainment and leisure venues, including its colorful nightlife, within walking distance.
Best Western International currently has 12 properties including Best Western Premier in Thailand which it recognizes as a leading country with potential for further hotel business expansion. For more information about Best Western, one may visit www.bestwestern.com.
