The A-One Royal Cruise celebrated its 26th year of operation by donating funds to the fire-damaged Nongprue Temple.
Mitr and Wattana Rattanaopat, founders of A-One Bangkok-Pattaya Hotels hosted a May 7 Buddhist ceremony at the Beach Road hotel where son Somchai and staff welcomed nine monks to receive alms and food offerings at the pool-side Cable Grill Restaurant.
Mitr and Wattana Rattanaopat (seated, center) and family members held the ceremony to mark the 26th anniversary of the A-One Royal Cruise Hotel.
The staffers donated funds to the temple, which suffered 30 million in damage to the sermon pavilion during a February fire.
The hotel chain was launched in 1988 and owns the A-One Royal Cruise, A-One Pattaya Beach Resort and A-One Star Hotel. The Royal Cruise features two buildings shaped like big cruise ships and 466 “cabins” with three sizes of meeting rooms.
The A-One Pattaya Beach Resort opened in 2008 with 52 universal-access rooms while the A-One Star is a 142-room budget hotel.
