Beaches set to hit Thailand

By Exploring South East Asia

A new beach resort development is scheduled to being work in Thailand with the major label, the Beaches, ready to open it's first Thai resort in Bang Saray Bay in three and a half years.

The Beaches resort will offer discerning travelers a water-themed park, private beaches and a boardwalk stretching out over a kilometer past restaurants and shops. The resort will have villas positioned over the water, similar in style to villas in the Maldives.

Every villa in the resort will have access to high speed internet and a cashless payment system.

Chairman and CEO of Pacific Shore Company, Liakat Sultan Dhanji, has been responsible for making the brand a success in Thailand. According to him, Thailand needs something distinctive if it is going to stand out against the stiff competition developing in the region.

"I decided I was going to find space and build an integrated destination resort to compete with our neighboring countries. My strength is big projects, complexity doesn't bother me and big destination resorts are extremely complex," Dhanji said.

Bang Saray is a fishing village located close to the popular resort city of Pattaya. "One day I happened to go to Bang Saray because somebody had invited me there and I said, 'Oh my God, it reminds me of Waikiki (in Hawaii) 32 years ago when my father took me there', and I said, 'Wow, this is right on my doorstep," said Dhanji.
