Growing with the neighbourhood we call home.

KPL Group was founded by Mr. Preecha Chairatn, who established the first three-star hotel in Khao San Road history in 1985 and named it Khaosan Palace Hotel. The journey began with a small 20-room hotel; today the family-led collection includes nine hotels across Bang Lam Phu and Phra Nakhon.

The KPL story

Four decades of pioneering hospitality on Khao San Road.

The Chairatn family opened its first hotel in 1985, just as Khao San Road was beginning its journey toward becoming a global destination. The group grew with the community, creating distinctive hotels for every kind of traveller.

Today, KPL Group remains privately owned and family led, with hotels, resorts, restaurants, lifestyle businesses and real-estate investments across Thailand, Singapore and Australia.
