Building on proven success, the agreement reflects the owner’s confidence in their continued investment vision.

  ONYX Hospitality Group officially announced the signing of a management agreement for Shama Hub Ladprao at a ceremony held at Amari Bangkok on 22nd January 2026. The agreement was signed by Mr. Yuthachai Charanachitta, Chief Executive Officer of ONYX Hospitality Group, and Mr. Somchai Ngamdamrongkiat, owner of Shama Yen Akat and Shama Hub Ladprao, in the presence of executives and team members from both organisations.   Shama Hub Ladprao is the second serviced apartment project entrusted to ONYX Hospitality Group by Mr. Somchai Ngamdamrongkiat. Following the strong performance of Shama Yen Akat over the past five years, the decision to invest in and appoint ONYX Hospitality Group to manage a second project underscores the owner’s continued confidence in the Shama and Shama Hub brands, as well as in ONYX Hospitality Group’s capability to deliver high-quality services supported by efficient and sustainable long-term management.   Shama Hub Ladprao is the first Shama Hub in Thailand and the third in the region. Developed under the “Shama Hub” concept, the project is designed to support flexible urban living, offering compact yet highly functional residences with efficient space allocation to meet the needs of modern residents. Strategically located in a well-connected urban area, the property provides convenient access to transportation, workplaces, lifestyle amenities, and the surrounding city community. It also features shared spaces that support work, relaxation, and social interaction, including co-working and social spaces. Guests benefit from the trusted international service standards of the Shama Hub brand.   Mr. Yuthachai Charanachitta, Chief Executive Officer of ONYX Hospitality Group, said, said that “The continued growth of the Shama brand reflects its strong alignment with evolving travel and residential lifestyle preferences, particularly in the long-stay segment. This growth is the result of ONYX Hospitality Group’s ongoing market research and brand development efforts, aimed at positioning Shama as a serviced apartment brand that genuinely meets the needs of today’s residents. Shama properties are designed with flexibility at their core, offering a range of accommodation options—from long stay and extended stay to short stay—catering especially to business travellers and international professionals whose demand for this type of accommodation continues to rise.”   He added, “Thailand continues to earn strong confidence from the international community, supported by its strategic location, cost of living advantages, and well-developed infrastructure. These strengths are driving sustained growth in long-term residential demand, a market direction that Shama and Shama Hub are well positioned to serve.   Mr. Somchai Ngamdamrongkiat, the project owner, affirmed, “We believe that a residence should be more than just a place to stay; it should be a living environment that addresses every dimension of modern living—from quality standards and safety to comfort, experience, and a genuine sense of belonging. These qualities are clearly reflected in the Shama brand, which thoughtfully blends the modernity of urban living with the warmth and familiarity of home. With spaces designed for real, everyday living, Shama enables guests to feel connected to both the residence and the surrounding community from day one, whether they are staying short term or long term.”   “Furthermore, Thailand’s strategy to position itself as a Health & Wellness hub aligns seamlessly with Shama’s long-term residence concept. On a broader level, I believe that providing high-standard, safe accommodation that inspires confidence will attract more tourists, businesspeople, and professionals from around the world to choose Thailand as a destination for long-term living and working. This will not only strengthen the tourism sector but also serve as a key driver of sustainable economic growth for the country in the long run,” Mr. Yuthachai added.   Shama is ideally suited for both short-term and long-term stays, offering prime locations in residential areas with convenient connectivity to key business and tourist districts. Additionally, the brand emphasises hotel-standard services to ensure a comfortable and enjoyable living experience. Shama comprises three distinct sub-brands in the “Shama Ecosystem” —Shama Luxe, Shama, and Shama Hub—each differentiated by room size, location, and design style to serve a wide range of customer segments, from upper upscale to upper middle scale. Currently, Shama serviced apartments operate 23 properties and pipeline projects located in seven prime locations across Thailand, Greater China (People’s Republic of China and Hong Kong) and Malaysia.

  Amari Bangkok part of ONYX Hospitality Group, has unveiled its brand-new EV Tuk Tuk, a modern and eco-conscious reimagining of Thailand’s iconic three-wheeler. The new service invites guests to explore the bustling Bangkok neighbourhoods of Pratunam and Ratchaprasong in comfort and style, while championing responsible, eco-conscious travel.   Iconic City Sights Guests can enjoy convenient drop-offs at some of the city’s must-see highlights, including the sacred Four Face Buddha, the bustling shopping and entertainment hub of Siam Square, the vibrant Bangkok Art and Culture Centre, and the historic Jim Thompson House with its traditional teak architecture and lush gardens.   Driving Sustainability in the City The EV Tuk Tuk embodies Amari’s commitment to enriching guest experiences while protecting the environment. Offering an immersive, low-emission way to explore the city, it perfectly blends eco-conscious travel with authentic cultural discovery.   Connecting Guests Authentically to Bangkok One of the hallmarks of the Amari brand is creating genuine connections between guests and the local destination. The EV Tuk Tuk embodies this ethos, offering more than just transport—it’s a cultural bridge. Guests are accompanied by a dedicated City Explorer, a knowledgeable host who shares the stories, traditions, and hidden gems that make Bangkok unique.   Highlights of the EV Tuk Tuk Experience include:

• Sustainability in Motion – Travel through Bangkok’s vibrant streets with an eco-conscious perspective, reducing your carbon footprint while maximising cultural connection.
• Cultural Immersion – Discover the history and significance of each stop, from sacred sites to bustling markets.
• Curated Landmarks – Convenient drop-offs at must-see attractions such as the Four Face Buddha, Siam Square, the Bangkok Art and Culture Centre, and the Jim Thompson House.

Whether visiting temples, discovering street art, or exploring lively shopping streets, the journey blends environmental responsibility with authentic cultural storytelling, leaving guests with a deeper connection to Bangkok’s spirit.   The motorised tuk-tuk in Thailand emerged in the post-World War II era, during a time when cities like Bangkok were growing rapidly. By the 1960s, tuk-tuks became widely used in urban areas. While modern cities rely heavily on taxis, buses, and ride-hailing services, tuk-tuks remain iconic, popular with both locals for short trips and tourists seeking the “classic Thai” experience.   Guests staying at Amari Bangkok can enjoy the EV Tuk Tuk experience as part of their stay, adding a distinctive, sustainable dimension to their Bangkok adventures.

  Looking Ahead The Beyond the Festivities campaign is part of ONYX Hospitality Group’s continued brand evolution and regional growth strategy. By integrating meaningful seasonal initiatives with distinctive brand positioning, ONYX reinforces its role as a leader in delivering experiences that resonate with both leisure and business travellers across Asia.

  ONYX Hospitality Group, a leading Southeast Asian hospitality management company with a diverse portfolio of hotels, resorts, serviced apartments, and luxury residences, is deepening its commitment to sustainability by transforming its approach to dining. The Group has begun working directly with local farmers across Thailand who practice sustainable production methods, sourcing premium ingredients that celebrate provenance and reduce environmental impact.   At ONYX’s properties in Thailand, these ingredients form the foundation of menus that are not only refined and flavourful, but also rooted in the stories of the communities from which they are sourced. Guests can enjoy exceptional cuisine while experiencing a more meaningful connection to place and culture.   This initiative highlights ONYX’s two core principles: “Responsible Sourcing,” which emphasises the careful selection of ingredients that benefit consumers, society, and the environment, and “Empowering Local,” which focuses on supporting local producers in achieving stable, sustainable growth. Together, these principles not only elevate ONYX’s service standards but also create added value for guests—allowing them to be part of the sustainability journey with every meal crafted from thoughtfully sourced premium ingredients.   Every dish becomes a storyteller, showcasing the dedication of quality producers from across Thailand.   For instance, organic eggs are sourced from Neville Organic Farm, a free-range chicken farm where hens are raised naturally. The result is fresh, clean, and highly nutritious eggs that embody the farm’s commitment to improving animal welfare. The meat and cold cuts served in ONYX restaurants are supplied by Antica Luna, a producer renowned for its expertise in creating premium-quality cheeses and cold cuts. Freshly made each day, these products are crafted using ingredients sourced from Thai farmers and developed under the guidance of Italian specialists who uphold the highest standards of sustainability and safety. For its dairy selection, ONYX sources artisanal cheese from Jartisann Cheeserie, a Chiang Mai-based producer renowned for crafting Michelin-starred creations that have gained international acclaim.   Guided by its vision to deliver memorable experiences and world-class service while embracing social and environmental responsibility, ONYX Hospitality Group is redefining dining as more than a culinary moment. Each meal becomes an opportunity to blend luxury with authenticity, celebrate the richness of local culture, and generate lasting value for Thai farmers, surrounding communities, and the wider world.
