Tell us a little bit about Dusit International’s heritage and international growth.
It all began 70 years ago when our founder, Thanpuying Chanut Piyaoui, opened her first hotel on Charoen Krung Road. Her ambition wasn’t limited to just one hotel, however, and her dream of running an international standard hospitality business in Bangkok soon saw her embark on her biggest hotel project – Dusit Thani, which translates as “Town in Heaven” – whose 525 rooms and suites and world-class facilities seamlessly blended Thai and Western styles for a truly luxurious experience.
Since then, The Dusit Thani brand has become synonymous with Thai luxury and hospitality. In the 70 years since Dusit Thani Bangkok opened its doors, the group has expanded to encompass a collection of 339 hotels and resorts in 16 countries around the world, all of which reflect the warm, gracious Thai hospitality of the original hotel.

What led to the decision to launch Dusit Central Park, Dusit International’s first branded residences development?
You are right that Dusit Residences at Dusit Central Park is the first branded residences owned by Dusit International, but the company has managed and operated Dusit Residences for other owners overseas. Bringing this knowledge and expertise to our owned portfolio was a logical progression.

What can potential buyers expect from this exciting new project?
The top corner of Silom Road has long been the most desirable address in Bangkok, and the former Dusit Thani Bangkok proudly commanded this important location for almost 50 years. Dusit International is now evolving to serve modern urban lifestyle trends in this prime location, which also affords easy access to vibrant Silom, the finance district of Sathorn Road, the retail areas of Ratchprasong, and Sukhumvit. This prime position, which is now known as the “super core CBD”, where real estate demand and prices are the highest in Bangkok, is enhanced by hyper-accessibility, with direct, integrated access to the BTS skytrain and MRT subway networks, putting the entire city – and beyond – within easy reach.


Rising from the site of the original Dusit Thani Bangkok, Dusit Residences is a fully-integrated luxury lifestyle destination at the heart of this district. Standing 69 storeys high with uninterrupted views of Lumpini Park, it comprises a five-star hotel, luxury serviced residence, premium office building and a retail mall, all connected by the spectacular 11,200sq.m Roof Park sky garden.

This spectacular project is divided into two zones: Dusit Residences has 160 units, starting from 120sq.m for those who seek a refined home with timeless interiors, and Dusit Parkside has 246 units, starting from 55sq.m, with elegant, contemporary interiors that will appeal to the younger generation of affluent urban professionals. Residents of both zones will enjoy access to Dusit Thani Bangkok’s five-star facilities.
Whichever option guests choose, they will appreciate the stylish interiors, feng shui-influenced design and full functionality, including smart technology. Each residence comes fully-equipped with handpicked home comforts and five-star hotel services. The inviting communal areas include a library, co-working space, swimming pool, fitness centre, health and wellness centre, spa, sky kitchen and pantry, banqueting room and a children’s play area. Sustainable design and engineering have also been adopted in every aspect of the development, including an intelligent layout that promotes clean air with natural wind flow for improved ventilation, reducing energy use, minimising carbon footprint and optimising costs.

Why is investing in Bangkok, and in Dusit Central Park in particular, a good opportunity for buyers in Hong Kong?
Investing in Thailand offers many benefits, including attractive prices and high rental yields. In recent years, the Thai government has started to welcome more overseas property investors, and the Kingdom’s perfect position at the heart of the ASEAN region makes it a gateway to the rest of Asia, and the world. This is creating strong market conditions for Thai real estate.


Dusit Residences promises the perfect option for all investors. With its prime downtown location, exceptional connectivity, outstanding architecture and luxurious interiors, complemented by five-star hotel services, we are confident that this project will inspire Hong Kong’s high-end investors.


Thank you.
