Best Western Brings Sense of Style to Phuket
Bangkok – Best Western International has opened a brand new hotel in Phuket: the stylish BEST WESTERN Patong Beach.
Located close to the heart of Phuket's main tourist area, less than 1km from the famous white sands of Patong Beach, Junceylon shopping center, and a multitude of bars, restaurants and entertainment venues, this new contemporary hotel offers a range of modern facilities that make the most of its stunning tropical setting.
An outdoor infinity pool overlooks the azure waters of the Andaman Sea, while the light and spacious Mana Restaurant serves up delectable local and international cuisine, with both indoor and outdoor seating. Guests can also relax and enjoy a sunset cocktail at the poolside bar.
Other guest amenities include a fully-equipped fitness center and a business center.
The hotel's 224 contemporary rooms and suites all come equipped with large 32-inch LCD TVs, comfortable beds, minibars and tea and coffee making facilities. And as with all Best Western hotels worldwide, Wi-Fi is complimentary throughout the property.
The hotel was officially opened in a ceremony presided over by Glenn de Souza, Best Western International's Vice President of International Operations for Asia & Middle East, and Maetapong Upatising, Managing Director of the BEST WESTERN Patong Beach.
"Phuket is the most popular resort destination in Thailand, with more than ten million travelers from every part of the world visiting the island each year, generating billions of baht for the tourism industry," said Mr. Maetapong.
"The BEST WESTERN Patong Beach Hotel will definitely meet the needs of travelers who seek convenience and great service at a reasonable price. The hotel has been already been welcoming many travelers since its inauguration," he added.

There are also another two projects under construction in Bangkok and Hua Hin, and they will be ready to welcome guests in 2016.

"Thailand has great potential in terms of tourism. With our large portfolio of hotels across the country, we are catering to a new generation of young travelers who seek modern, convenient services at a reasonable price. Thailand is a very attractive value-for-money destination for young travelers and has many tourist attractions to explore, including culture, nature, entertainment and shopping.
"We look forward to welcoming more guests to Thailand in the years to come," Mr. de Souza concluded.
