Ms. Thanyarat brings extensive regional and international hospitality expertise to the role. Prior to assuming her new position, she served as Commercial Director overseeing Vietnam, Cambodia, and Myanmar for Ascott. Her career also includes senior leadership positions with several prominent hotel groups, including Accor Group, Best Western Hotels & Resorts, and ONYX Hospitality Group.

Revenue Strategy Strengthened with New Leadership
Further reinforcing the leadership team, Ascott has appointed Trishna Kolipakam as Director of Revenue Management for Thailand and Laos. In this role, she will oversee revenue strategy, pricing optimization, and performance analytics designed to support the group’s continued expansion.
Trishna joins Ascott with an impressive background in revenue management and strategic hospitality operations.

According to Kanit, building a capable leadership structure is essential to supporting this rapid growth and ensuring operational excellence across the portfolio.
