Our Story

Rasa Hospitality - Management & Development, is a Bangkok-based hospitality group that owns, develops and manages hotels & resorts in Thailand.

In 2005 a subsidiary company of Rasa Hospitality opened the first privately held Buri Rasa Village Resort on Chaweng Beach, Koh Samui and since has established successful resorts in popular tourist destinations in Thailand. It also serves as the owner’s representative of the 5-star resort Anantara Rasanon Koh Phangan Villas owned by Kemchai Rasanon & family.
