Projects are currently underway in Thailand and the Middle East.

In the Middle East, several agreements are scheduled to be confirmed in May as part of this expansion. The Dusit Residence on The Palm is intricately Moroccan-inspired in style, comprised of 180 two bedrooms, three bedrooms and townhouses. These private residences will offer an ideal location in one of the world's most dynamic new tourism and residential developments in Dubai.

The Dusit Residence at Dubai Marina is strategically located and overlooks the marina itself and provides direct access to the promenade. A total of 151 units offer penthouse suites and one to three-bedroom apartments, with a complete range of food and beverage and other complete hotel-style facilities and services.

The Pearl Coast Premier Hotel Apartments, which opened in early 2007 and is ideally located off Sheikh Zayed Road, provides convenient access to the Mall of Emirates. Consisting of 48 fully furnished one and two bedroom apartments, and with a rooftop pool, fitness centre and Dusit Gourmet, it is already a popular destination for both short and long-stay guests.

Dusit's entry into this expanding hospitality sector perfectly complements the company's expansion into the Middle East with its hotel brands.
