In 1949, visionary Thanpuying Chanut Piyaoui opened the Princess Hotel, laying the foundation for Dusit’s remarkable journey. The grand opening ceremony received the esteemed patronage of Her Majesty Queen Rambhai Barni and Her Royal Highness Princess Galyani Vadhana, setting the start of a legacy dedicated to gracious hospitality.

Dusit Thani Bangkok opened, becoming the city’s undisputed crown jewel. Towering as the tallest and grandest building in the capital, the grand opening of the hotel was graciously presided over by Queen Rambhai Barni of King Rama VII and Her Royal Highness Princess Galyani Vadhana. This marked a new era of unparalleled luxury, forever elevating the hospitality standards in Thailand.

Dusit International secured a prime position at the forefront of Thai commerce by securing a listing on the Stock Exchange of Thailand, solidifying its status as a leading hospitality brand.

Dusit revolutionised Thai hospitality by orchestrating the nation’s first Thai-operated resort. Dusit Laguna Resort (now Dusit Thani Laguna Phuket) debuted as a haven of relaxation, forever etching Dusit’s name as a leader in Thai luxury travel.

Dusit redefined Pattaya’s coastline with the opening of Dusit Thani Pattaya. This luxurious beachfront resort, located in the heart of Pattaya’s vibrant setting, promised an oasis of tranquillity amidst the city’s excitement.
