**Bangkok, Thailand, 8 May 2023 –** Dusit Hotels and Resorts under Dusit International,
one of Thailand’s leading hotel and property development companies, is set to expand
its global and domestic footprint by opening three hotels within the next 30 days–
including two new properties in Bangkok and its first hotel in Japan.

Hot on the heels of opening its first hotel in Europe, in Greece, and returning 
to Nairobi, Kenya, in March, with the opening of Dusit Suites Athens and Dusit Princess
Hotel Residences Nairobi, respectively, Dusit is now gearing up to welcome its first
dusitD2 branded hotel in Bangkok – [**dusitD2 Samyan Bangkok** ](https://www.dusit.com/dusitd2-samyanbangkok/)–
which will soft open on 12 May 2023. 

Located on Si Phraya Road, a vibrant street parallel to Silom and Sathorn roads 
in Bangkok’s central business district, the new hotel comprises 179 well-appointed
guest rooms and boasts a sleek, modern design that reflects Thai culture and embodies
the upscale nature of the dusitD2 brand. 

The hotel’s wide range of facilities includes a stylish lobby, a fully equipped 
fitness centre, a versatile meeting space with state-of-the-art audio-visual equipment,
an outdoor swimming pool with a panoramic city view, and a multi-level food and 
beverage concept featuring a grab-and-go gourmet outlet, an all-day dining restaurant
with an open kitchen, and a Miami-inspired rooftop bar called Mimi serving burgers,
shakes, craft beers, and cocktails. 

Up next, on 15 May 2023, Dusit will mark the official expansion of its distinctive
lifestyle brand, ASAI Hotels, by opening [**ASAI Bangkok Sathorn** ](https://www.asaihotels.com/locations/bangkok-sathorn/)
on Sathorn Soi 12 near Bangkok’s central business district, just a five-minute walk
from Saint Louis BTS (Skytrain) Station. 

Building on the success of ASAI Bangkok Chinatown, one of the top-rated hotels in
Bangkok on TripAdvisor, the new hotel will continue the brand’s promise to uniquely
link visitors with authentic local experiences in the world’s most vibrant neighbourhoods–
this one renowned for its impressive cluster of hip bars and Thai and international
restaurants. 

Alongside 106 thoughtfully compact rooms that focus on the essentials, such as highly
comfortable beds and powerful showers, the new property boasts a spacious and welcoming
communal space that features a cosy neighbourhood bar, a comfortable co-working 
area, and a unique dining experience created by award-winning chefs Duangporn “Bo”
Songvisava and Dylan Jones, who specialise in authentic Thai cuisine crafted from
seasonal and sustainable ingredients.On 1 June 2023, Dusit will then take the ASAI
brand outside of Thailand with the opening of [**ASAI Kyoto Shijo** ](https://www.dusit.com/asai-kyoto/)–
Dusit’s first hotel in Japan – which puts guests in the heart of the Shijo-Karasuma
neighbourhood, near the famous Nishiki Market in the city’s renowned Downtown area.

Alongside 114 thoughtfully compact rooms designed to offer utmost comfort and convenience,
the hotel will feature a large communal hub for work, rest, and play, and a cosy
dining room inspired by the rich street-food culture of Bangkok. Regular collaborations
with local restaurateurs and artisans and sustainable sourcing of produce will further
set the distinctive lifestyle hotel apart.

“As we continue to execute our plan for domestic and global expansion, we are delighted
to welcome three new hotels to our portfolio, including our first dusitD2 branded
hotel in Bangkok, our second ASAI hotel in Bangkok, and our first hotel in Japan,”
said Mr **Gilles Cretallaz, Chief Operating Officer, Dusit International.** “These
openings represent significant milestones for our company, and we are confident 
that their unique positioning and distinctive lifestyle and food and beverage experiences
will resonate with travellers from around the world. As we gear up for these launches,
we are excited about the future and look forward to making our mark in more key 
international markets.”

With an additional nine hotels set to open globally before the end of the year, 
including Dusit’s first entry into Nepal, a second hotel in Japan, and a strategic
return to India, Dusit is set to add approximately 1,700 keys to its hotel portfolio,
resulting in 62 hotels (13,700 keys) operating across 18 countries worldwide by 
year-end.
