Singapore, 13 August 2008 � Luxury serviced accommodation brand Pan Pacific Serviced Suites announces today the establishment of its first property in Bangkok and the second in the Asia Pacific region, after a successful inaugural launch of its flagship property in Singapore in April this year. Pan Pacific Serviced Suites Bangkok is slated to open in the first quarter of 2009. It will be the only serviced suites accommodation in Thailand where residents can rely on Personal Assistants (PAs) to provide them with local connections to the city. 
 
�We are pleased to partner with Pacific Star to establish Pan Pacific Serviced Suites in Bangkok. The signing of the Pan Pacific Serviced Suites Bangkok demonstrates our promise to grow the Pan Pacific Serviced Suites brand in the Asia Pacific region. This extended-stay property will complement our Pan Pacific hotel offering in Bangkok allowing guests a choice of accommodations catered to their specific needs and at the same time, continue to enjoy the renowned Pan Pacific�s quality service and warm hospitality,� said Patrick Imbardelli, President & CEO of Pan Pacific Hotels and Resorts.
 
The eight-storey Pan Pacific Serviced Suites Bangkok is owned by the Asia Real Estate Income Fund (a Pacific Star fund that invests in prime properties in Asia-Pacific gateway cities) and will be managed by Pan Pacific Hospitality Pte Ltd, a wholly-owned subsidiary of UOL Group. 
 
Pan Pacific Serviced Suites Bangkok is part of Eight Thonglor, a 72,693 square meters mixed-use development that also includes a 34-storey apartment tower named Eight Thonglor Residences and a shopping centre spread over three levels offering an interesting mix of food and beverage outlets and a gourmet supermarket. Eight Thonglor is managed by the Pacific Star Group.
 
Commenting on the tie-up, Pritpal Singh Gill, Country Manager for Pacific Star Thailand said, �We are delighted to partner Pan Pacific to bring the first Pan Pacific Serviced Suites to Bangkok. We believe the serviced suites will complement the prestige and service quality of Eight Thonglor.
 
�Thonglor has in the last few years built a reputation as the preeminent place to be seen in Bangkok with many hip restaurants, pubs and shopping centres. We believe the niche that Thonglor has built for itself will continue to attract young professionals to the area.�
