2016 New Thai Hotels Master List

Last Updated on Tuesday, 08 January 2019

All new hotels and resorts opening in 2016

Presenting the fourth annual Master List of new hotels and resorts in Thailand. This is a comprehensive list of 4 and 5 star properties scheduled to open in Thailand in 2016 and also in the pipeline at various stages of development all the way through to 2019.

You can find the 2015 New Thai Hotels Master List here

As always please keep in mind that until the doors on each property actually open, all dates are pretty fluid. The further in the future a property is projected to open, the more likely it is that those dates will change- almost always later in the future.

Sign up to the newsletter to keep up to date on the latest openings and news on luxury hotels and resorts in Thailand. I typically send this newsletter out 4 times a year.

If you are associated with a new property, or know of one and would like it added to the master list please contact me here.
