Joining the SALA head office is Ms. Weeraya Sakolchai, who in her role as Sales Manager will focus on group and corporate sales for the SALA Resorts and Spas properties on Phuket and Koh Samui, including the new SALA Samui Chaweng Beach Resort and Spa opening in November 2017. Ms. Weeraya has over five years of sales experience in the hotel industry in Thailand.

sala rattanakosin Bangkok welcomed Mr. Jitti Sukee as the new Hotel Manager of the riverside property; he brings with him nearly two decades of experience in hotels and resorts across Thailand. Mr. Sukee will draw on his extensive hospitality and F&B background to helm the riverside hotel and introduce new culinary concepts to the award-winning sala rattanakosin eatery and bar.

sala lanna Chiang Mai also recently welcomed a new Hotel Manager – Mr. Saman Yawaruk – tasked to lead the team at the 25-key boutique property on the Ping River. Mr. Yawaruk brings with him 20 years of service in hotels, during which he was involved with a number of resort pre-openings, as well as setting up food and beverage operations and systems for several hotel relaunches.

“Cuisine is a strong driver for travel, and this is very evident at our sala boutique properties. With the appointment of our new Hotel Managers – both of whom bring with them a wealth of hotel expertise and particularly strong F&B backgrounds – we hope to strengthen our position as a culinary-focused boutique hospitality group,” said Mr. Volkert Geertsen Cluster, General Manager of sala boutique.
