I would like to thank our team for the hard work and our guests who support us. We will continue to work harder in order to increase the guest satisfactory and positive experience. We have a number of returning guests who have stayed with us multiple times last year and also brought their friends and family to stay with us. This is something we really appreciate and we will do our best to keep them happy and coming back. It is our core value here at Well that we extend our service attitude “warm welcome” with the Thai hospitable mind to our guests and aim to deliver a good Bangkok staycation to them.”
“We offered a good value introductory rate in 2016 and this year we will be playing on the dynamic room rates rather than only focusing on the occupancy itself. Last year we introduced the healthy food therapy, free exercise classes including Muay Thai Cardio, Fruit-infused water stations, and added Yoga and Pilates equipment in the selected room types apart from the exercise bike which was included since the opening, this year we will continue to emphasize on the lifestyle wellness concept which the wellness program has been in discussions with our partner. So please stay tune. It is going to be another exciting year for us” Danai added.
