Minor Hotels, a prominent global hospitality company, is excited to announce the appointment of Naowarat Arunkong as the General Manager of the highly anticipated NH Bangkok Sukhumvit Boulevard, marking the first NH Hotels & Resorts property in Bangkok. As the company continues to expand the NH brand beyond Europe and the Americas, Arunkong’s proficiency in hotel pre-openings, rebranding, and repositioning will play a crucial role in the successful transformation of Boulevard Hotel Bangkok into NH Bangkok Sukhumvit Boulevard.

With a wealth of industry experience, Naowarat Arunkong has been with Minor Hotels since 1999. Most recently, she served as Cluster General Manager for Anantara Hua Hin Resort and Avani+ Hua Hin Resort. Before that, from 2018 to 2020, she managed hotel clusters including Avani Sukhumvit Bangkok Hotel and Avani Khon Kaen Hotel & Convention Centre. Between 2016 and 2018, she oversaw Anantara and Oaks Bangkok Sathorn Hotels as well as Avani Khon Kaen Hotel & Convention Centre. Her career with Minor Hotels began when she joined Bangkok Marriott Resort & Spa, owned by Minor Hotels, as Front Office Manager and eventually advanced to the role of Rooms Division Manager.

“The introduction of the upscale NH brand to Bangkok is a significant milestone for Minor Hotels, and there is no one better suited to lead this endeavour than Naowarat, one of our most seasoned leaders,” stated Puneet Dhawan, Head of Asia for Minor Hotels.  “I am confident that under her guidance, NH Bangkok Sukhumvit Boulevard will deliver NH’s signature hospitality that focuses on value for money, excellent connectivity and service with a human touch.”

“Bangkok holds a special place in my heart and returning here to lead the rebranding of this exceptional property is truly a dream come true,” said Naowarat Arunkong. “As we finalise renovations of the guestrooms and public spaces, my focus will be on training the team to uphold Minor Hotels’ high standards and building ties with the local community.”

Arunkong earned a Master’s degree in Business Management and a Bachelor’s degree in Liberal Arts from Kasem Bundit University, Thailand.
