US-based luxury hotel chain Ritz-Carlton has just announced plans to set up its first ever hotel in Thailand. The hotel, which will be named Pulay Bay, will open on Krabi before the end of the year and will be aimed at both local and overseas tourists.

The hotel is developed and owned by a local firm, Piya International, which is a unit of the Bhiromphakdi family.

Estelita Sebeto is the general manager of the Pulay Bay Ritz-Carlton. In a recent interview with The Nation she revealed that: “When styling and designing the property, we were very conscious of the abundant natural beauty surrounding us, which is what makes people fall in love with Thailand. We are looking at long-term growth, so we decided to run a 30-year management contract in Thailand.”

The new hotel will feature 54 villas and pavilions, surrounded by beaches, a stunning coastline and forests filled with rugged rock formations and hidden waterfalls.
For those who want to surround themselves with luxury combined with natural beauty, Pulay Bay Ritz-Carlton on Krabi will be the perfect place to stay.
