The story of The Tongsai Bay began in 1985, when the late Akorn Hoontrakul, then chairman of The Imperial Family of Hotels, saw Tongsai Bay from the sea and declared that it was love at first sight. Seven days later Akorn purchased the land. For three months he slept on the beach, dreaming of his ideal resort, and began to draw up plans for the location of the cottage suites, each of which was to be constructed without cutting down a single tree and with minimal damage to the beautiful natural surroundings.
The Tongsai Bay opened its doors in July 1987 and became the first five-star luxury hotel on Koh Samui, under the umbrella of The Imperial Family of Hotels. Following a period of illness in 1993, Akorn decided to sell the hotel group to a Thai tycoon, retaining only The Tongsai Bay, where he vowed to live out the rest of his life with his beloved wife Chompunute.
In 2000 Akorn passed away and management of The Tongsai Bay passed to the capable hands of his son, Thanakorn and his daughter in-law, Saisiri who shares his father’s passion for the environment and for providing the highest standards of hospitality and service. Under his watchful eye, The Tongsai Bay has continued to grow from strength to strength, recently developing its own ‘Green Project’ and working with other local hoteliers to preserve the island’s natural environment for future generations. |
