Bangkok, Thailand, June 29, 2020 / TRAVELINDEX / Hop Inn Hotels, a chain of budget hotels in Thailand and the Philippines developed and operated by Erawan Group PLC, Thailand's leading hotel developer, has announced the reopening of all its hotels in Thailand. Guests are welcome again from June 1, 2020.

As a token of gratitude for reopening, HOP INN Hotels is supporting the Thai Red Cross to thank them for their tireless efforts and assistance to the population during the crisis. All revenue from June 5, 2020, across all 40 hotels (approximately 930,676 THB), along with donations from HOP INN staff (totaling 1,000,000 THB), was presented on June 16, 2020, to the Thai Red Cross's "Palang Nam Jai 63 Baht" project, which aims to combat the spread of COVID-19. This donation is a joint effort by our HOP INN guests and staff to give back to the community and to thank the Thai Red Cross for their tireless work on behalf of the Thai people during the crisis. The donation supports important aid efforts, including the "Royal Kitchen" project at Sra Pathum Palace, which distributes food to the needy, survival kits from the Thai Red Cross, medical equipment for Chulalongkorn Hospital, and equipment for blood donations.

Petch Krainukul, President of Erawan Group PLC, said: “This is an important moment for our HOP INN Hotels as we can finally return to doing what we do best: providing our guests with high-quality, clean, comfortable, and safe accommodations. These unprecedented times have been challenging for our staff, our guests, our suppliers, and the communities where we operate. To mark our reopening, we donated one day's revenue from guest reservations, along with a donation from our staff, to the Thai Red Cross to thank them for their invaluable support of communities during this crisis. Naturally, we will maintain the highest health and safety standards in all our hotels, and our staff will ensure that all our guests enjoy a pleasant and memorable stay with us.”
