This group of experts includes finance director Pattharayuth Sudjit, rooms director Suphalak Jampasri, sales and marketing director Young Eun Lee, food and beverage director Jose Dominguez, human resources director Sukanya Samae, and executive chef Fabio Genghini.

Dasgupta said of his executives: “We are committed to delivering exceptional experiences that will leave our guests with lasting memories. Our goal is to create a destination that not only offers unparalleled service but also reflects the rich culture and natural beauty of Khao Lak.”
