miles from the new Suvarnabhumi International Airport of Bangkok, Thailand (which

2008.
Starwood currently operates 12 hotels in Thailand – Bangkok,
Chiang Mai, Samui, Pattaya, Krabi and Phuket, with 6 under development in

The 214-room golf resort and spa will be located in Samut Prakarn district, within the 160-acre mixed-used enclave comprising Summit Windmill
Golf Club, an 18-hole Nick Faldo designed golf course and serviced apartments. The resort is a 40-minute drive from Bangkok on the newly
completed highway and is well located to cater to small and medium sized meetings and incentive groups from Bangkok and proximate
Southeast Asian countries, the weekend leisure market, and airport related corporate business.
Other facilities include a 1,500 square meter spa with 8 treatment rooms, health club, 900 square meters of meeting space, 4 restaurants and an
