Background of the Company

One of Asia's Leading Hotel Brands

Dusit International draws upon over 70 years’ experience in the hotel and hospitality field. The
group's origin dates back to 1948 when Founder and Advisor to the Board of Directors,
Thanpuying Chanut Piyaoui, opened her first hotel, the "Princess," on Bangkok's New Road. This
successful venture represented a major breakthrough for Thailand's hospitality industry,
creating and evolving to what is today the nation's leading hotel company.

Continuing in this pioneering spirit, Thanpuying Chanut embarked upon a luxurious city-center
property, Dusit Thani Bangkok, which has become the company's flagship hotel. Dusit Thani
Bangkok opened in February 1970, and from the beginning achieved widespread popularity,
setting new standards for hospitality. Since then, despite increased competition and the
unprecedented scale of new hotel construction, Dusit Thani has remained at the forefront of
Thailand's quality hotels.

The essence of Dusit Thani is best symbolized by the statue of King Rama VI, which stands just
across the street. King Rama VI devised a Utopian concept in 1918, named Dusit Thani, meaning
"Town in Heaven".

To Thais, the word "Dusit" has two very special connotations. First, Dusit is the mythological
name for the fourth of the seven levels of heaven. Second, King Rama VI took the name adding
"Thani," meaning "Town" in Thai, to be the title of a model city for democratic society, where
everyone would live in happiness and freedom.

The Company takes not only its name, but also much of its character, from the ideas of King
Rama VI, whose thoughts on the modern state blended Western and Thai influences. Thus the
architecture of a Dusit Thani hotel displays contemporary lines that nonetheless echo
traditional Thai style. Similarly, the interior design exemplifies genuine Thai artwork and reflects
classical Thai motifs, while the facilities and amenities surpass the highest expectations of
modern deluxe hospitality.

Expanding footprints in Thailand and overseas

In 1987, the Company recognized tourist trends towards resort style accommodations and
acquired a hotel, which was renovated to become the first resort property, Dusit Thani Pattaya,
followed by another beach resort in Phuket - Dusit Thani Laguna Phuket. In 1989, the
prestigious Dusit Resort and Polo Club opened in Hua Hin (now renamed Dusit Thani Hua Hin).
Royal Princess Chiang Mai was opened in Chiang Mai, capital of the north, in 1991, followed by
a second northern hotel in Chiang Rai - Dusit Island Resort Chiang Rai, which opened the same
year.

In 1995, Dusit International acquired the Hotel Nikko Manila by purchasing shares in the
holding company, Philippine Hoteliers Inc. (PHI), from Japan Airlines Development Company
Limited and JAL Trading Inc. The Hotel Nikko Manila came under the management of Dusit
Thani Hotels & Resorts, and was renamed the Dusit Hotel Nikko, Manila. In order to meet the
high Dusit standards, the Manila hotel also underwent a major renovation program and became
Dusit Thani Manila in April 2008.

In early 2001, Dusit Thani Dubai opened, adding a vital important new market, the Middle East,
to the Dusit portfolio. The majority of Dusit Thani Dubai staff and employees were recruited
from Thailand itself, thus ensuring a perfect transfer of the warmth and charm of traditional
Thai hospitality. In 2005, the Company set up the Middle East Regional Office also in Dubai,
covering the Gulf Cooperation Council member countries, to meet the challenges of the fast
growing hospitality industry there.

In November 2006, Dusit Thani Hotels & Resorts added a brand extension - the Dusit Lifestyle
Collection with dusitD2 hotels & resorts. dusitD2 is the second generation brand of Dusit Thani
Hotels & Resorts, representing a new concept in balance between tradition and trend, with
international high standards and warm hospitality that is distinctly Thai. The first property in
the dusitD2 collection opened in November 2006 in the historical city of Chiang Mai. dusitD2
Chiang Mai is a 'D'ynamic, 'D'esirable and 'D'lightful blend of serenity, individuality and
modernity that is authentically Thai.

Dusit International also proudly includes Dusit Princess Hotels & Resorts, offering first-class,
affordable accommodation in primary and secondary destinations throughout the country.
Each is unique to their location and serves a particular city or market segment.

The rebirth of the spirit of the original Princess hotel came with the 1989 opening of the Royal
Princess Larn Luang, Bangkok, a boutique-style hotel opened near the city's Grand Palace. The
Company currently owns 3 Dusit Princess Hotels & Resorts in Thailand; Dusit Princess
Srinakarin, Bangkok, Dusit Princess Korat, and Dusit Princess Chiang Mai.

In 2007, Dusit entered into a joint venture agreement with Bird Hospitality Services (BHS), a
wholly-owned subsidiary of Bird Group - one of India's largest hospitality technology
companies, to bring the collection of Dusit International property brands to India. The first
hotel, Dusit Devarana New Delhi, opened in 2013.
To expand Dusit International’s footprints in China, Dusit Fudu Management Co., Ltd. – a hotel
management joint venture between the Company and China-based Changzhou Qiao Yu Group –
was established in 2013. Dusit D2 Fudu Binhu, opened in July 2013, marked Dusit Fudu Hotels
and Resorts' first project in China, as well as the first Dusit-branded hotel to open in the
Chinese market.

Through the years, Dusit International aims to provide the travelers with a unique experience
and deliver quality that always excels. It is this total focus on serving the needs, and anticipating
the desires of our customers, which has set us apart from the more uniform chain operations.
With a team of dedicated professional and experienced managers, Dusit International has built
upon a heritage of Thai traditions to create a personal experience that is unique to Dusit; in
short, an experience that enlivens the individual spirit no matter what their journey.
