Company Profile

A. History and Beginnings

Dusit International draws upon 60 years experience in the hotel and hospitality field. The group’s
origin dates back to 1948 when Honorary Chairperson, 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 what is today the nation’s
leading hotel company.

Continuing in this pioneering spirit, Thanpuying Chanut embarked upon a luxurious city-centre
property, Dusit Thani Bangkok, which has become the company’s flagship hotel. Dusit Thani
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.

Essence of Dusit Thani

The essence of Dusit Thani is best symbolised by the statue of King Rama VI, which stands just
across the street. King Rama IV 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.

Dusit Hotels and Resorts

In 1987, Dusit recognised 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 opened the same year.
Dusit Thani Manila

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 programme and
became Dusit Thani Manila in April 2008.

Dusit Education

In order to support Dusit International’s expension and concerned with providing the best
education - from basic to top-level knowledge - in the hospitality industry spurred Thanpuying
Chanut to set up Dusit Thani College, founded in 1993 and has since become the leading centre
of hospitality learning regionally, and the first institution of its kind to gain recognition from the
Thai Ministry of Education. In 2009 Dusit Thani College initiated a programme with Lyceum
University in the Philippines to prepare the young people of today for an exciting career in
hospitality services in the future. Lyceum University has commenced the first Dusit Thani
College – Lyceum University programme in June 2009 with over 4,000 enrolments, which has
exceeded all expectations for the programme’s inaugural enrolment.

Summary of Practicum Experiences

I really enjoy my practicum here at dusit thani manila because the staff are very friendly and they
are helpful to teach us how the operation runs.

First, I was assign in the kitchen of basix, my first week there was very tiring because I don’t
used to standing for a long hours but after that my body become used to it so I’m starting to
enjoy what I am doing there. I learn there how to interact with the guest because we are the one
who prepares the order of the guest in the buffet, like me I was assign at the chinese station, I am
the one who cooked the dimsum for them and also I was assign in the seafood section where the
opening of oyster was your job at first it was hard because it’s my first time and I suffer from
mild wounds but I get used to it and make it easy for me for the past few weeks. The thing that I
don’t like is that sometimes they yell at us because we did something wrong, it’s ok with me but
if only they taught us what to do in the first place we won’t do any mistake.

Second, I was rotated at the bakeshop kitchen. This was my last rotation because I request to stay
in this kitchen until I finish my practicum. I really enjoy my duty at the bakeshop because the
chef’s are very fun to be with and they are friendly(afternoon shift) to us. I learn a lot of things at
the bakeshop like making leche flan, creme brulee, tiramisu, pudding and many other but I was
assign here to be at the basix in evening I’m the one who help the chef assign in the basix to
prepare what we need to setup like the crepe, fruits, breads, pastries, ice cream and halo-halo. I
really used in this work because i was assign here for 5 weeks. I just don’t like what the morning
shift was doing, they let the practicumers get the requisition in the storeroom and don’t
accompany us.

Conclusion and Recommendation

This practicum experience was really helpful to me. I really learned a lot of things especially in

the kitchen. I really recommend that Hotel and Restaurant Management student must undergo

their training in a 5 star hotel because they equipped the trainee the skills and knowledge that

enables them to be more competitive unlike the lower star hotels.
