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. -

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.

Designed to meet the needs of today’s new generation of city dwellers, Shama offers the flexibility, convenience, and community that redefine the modern urban home. Shama: A New Way of Living Shama is designed for executives, professionals, and families who require both short- and long-term accommodation. It offers spacious residences with functional layouts - complete with kitchens and living areas - alongside amenities for everyday life. All of this is complemented by hotel-standard services to ensure comfort and ease. More than just providing a place to live, Shama reimagines the home experience by blending the warmth of home with the conveniences of a hotel. This approach resonates with modern city dwellers who value quality of life and flexibility over traditional property ownership. It is why Shama stands as a pioneer of the New Urban Living Mindset, making the idea of a “second home” a reality for today’s urbanites. Shama is more than just a place to stay; it is a new way of living. Offering flexibility, convenience, and a better quality of life, Shama is redefining the modern home for city dwellers across Asia. Why Serviced Apartments? For the new generation, a home is more than just a house or a condominium. It is about quality of life, convenience, and a sense of community. Today’s urban dwellers, especially executives and office professionals, are seeking a place that genuinely enhances their lives. They want more than simply a bed for the night or a permanent suburban address; they aspire to a space that seamlessly balances work, relaxation, and family life. For professionals advancing their careers, a home close to their workplace, with convenient transport links and comprehensive services, is a critical advantage. It enables them to focus fully on their work, safe in the knowledge that when they return, they can unwind and recharge both physically and mentally without worrying about everyday details. For parents with children studying in the city, a “home” means a safe and accessible environment with services and communities that ensure a high quality of life - an environment where their children can thrive. The Serviced Apartment Advantage Serviced apartments have therefore emerged as the ideal solution for modern city living. They present a superior alternative to renting a condominium, which can often mean limited space and few services, or staying in a hotel, which is rarely practical for longer-term stays. Unlike purchasing a home, which carries the burden of maintenance and the challenge of relocating as circumstances change, serviced apartments provide a flexible, convenient option. With features perfectly suited to the urban lifestyle, serviced apartments provide spacious living areas complete with fully equipped kitchens, living rooms, and dedicated workspaces, as well as shared spaces for unwinding. Hotel-standard services take care of everyday essentials, while prime locations close to business districts, schools, and leading hospitals offer both convenience and peace of mind. Above all, serviced apartments foster a sense of community that enhances overall quality of life. And when the time comes to move on, residents can do so with ease - free from the burden of resale or letting. This is why serviced apartments are becoming the new “second home” for today’s urban professionals. More than simply meeting residential needs, they combine flexibility, convenience, and quality of life for a truly fulfilling lifestyle. Discover Shama across a range of locations, each designed to suit different lifestyles:- Shama Yen-Akat Bangkok A tranquil retreat in the Silom-Sathorn business district, surrounded by shops and restaurants. Ideal for pet owners and fitness enthusiasts, with Lumpini Park just minutes away.

The initiative is designed to elevate guest experiences and meet the evolving needs of today’s travellers, reinforcing the Group’s vision to be the best medium-sized hospitality management company in the region. Mr. Yuthachai Charanachitta, Chief Executive Officer of ONYX Hospitality Group, which manages the Amari, OZO, Shama, and Oriental Residence brands, said: “We believe that maintaining standards and continuously developing our hotel brands are key drivers of growth. This refurbishment initiative underscores our commitment to strengthening the Amari brand, ensuring competitiveness in the market, and responding to the diverse needs of modern travellers. Our goal is to cement our position as the leading hospitality management company in ASEAN.” Amari Don Muang Airport Bangkok is set to undergo a comprehensive upgrade, encompassing improvements to the building structure, guestrooms, lobby, fitness centre, and dining outlets. A key highlight of the renovation will be the launch of Prego Don Muang, part of the renowned Italian restaurant brand celebrated for over two decades of international culinary excellence. Amari Buriram will follow with a full-property transformation, which includes the opening of Prego Buriram, bringing authentic Italian flavours to the region and enhancing the overall guest experience. Meanwhile, Amari Phuket, located on the world-famous Patong Beach, is preparing for a redesign aimed at delivering an elevated resort experience. The refurbishment will focus on creating larger, more comfortable guestrooms tailored to international leisure travellers seeking spacious accommodation with premium amenities. Guests will continue to enjoy the tranquillity of the resort while having access to vibrant activities, dining venues, and cafés nearby. These renovation projects reflect ONYX Hospitality Group’s continued commitment to enhancing guest experiences and delivering world-class hospitality. Upgrades for Amari Don Muang and Amari Buriram are scheduled from mid-2025 to mid-2026, while the transformation of Amari Phuket is slated to begin in 2027, with design works already underway. These enhancements will reinforce Amari’s brand identity and uphold its competitive edge while appealing to a wide spectrum of target markets. Amari properties are maintained under a systematic maintenance plan, with major refurbishments typically taking place every 10–15 years. Recently upgraded properties include Amari Koh Samui, Amari Bangkok, Amari Pattaya, and the newly refurbished and rebranded Amari Bangsaen, which saw a full guestroom makeover and upgraded facilities. The locations of these three projects offer exceptional potential. Amari Don Muang Airport Bangkok’s direct connection to Don Mueang International Airport provides unmatched convenience for transit passengers, MICE travellers, and tourists heading to destinations around the world. This major renovation will deliver a refreshed brand experience that truly meets the needs of modern business and leisure travellers seeking comfort and connectivity. It also aligns with the upcoming expansion plans of Don Mueang International Airport. Amari Buriram is strategically located near major sports venues and key attractions in Southern Isan, making it a prime destination for both domestic and international visitors. Meanwhile, Amari Phuket continues to stand out as a leading resort on the globally renowned Patong Beach. The investment is set to elevate the appeal and value of each property, broaden their customer reach, and address the distinct needs of each market segment, thereby reinforcing ONYX Hospitality Group’s overall competitiveness. “Amari continues to serve as the flagship brand of ONYX Hospitality Group, with 16 properties currently in operation. The brand has consistently maintained a strong average occupancy rate across its portfolio, reflecting the trust and confidence travellers place in Amari. This solid foundation supports our investment strategy to elevate the guest experience even further.” “The upcoming renovations reaffirm ONYX Hospitality Group’s vision to become the leading hospitality management company in the region. We are committed not only to creating memorable guest experiences, but also to investing in sustainable business growth while upholding exceptional service standards in every dimension.” concluded Mr. Yuthachai. -
