familiar with the hotel Dream of building a hotel
Saran Limsawatwong : Actually since childhood The fact that we are a family business Father is from a Chinese family. I teach my children to stay with the hotel. We had dinner at the hotel every day. As I said, we had good chefs from many places. That is, every guest at Pip Inn at that time knew that we had to come and eat here.
We have the legendary Rad Na that’s like, hey. Everyone is talking about Rad Na, which must be Rad Na at Pip Inn. So we felt like we were in the mix. We went to see dad work. We stayed in the hotel from childhood until we reached branch 3 and branch 4 and it started to involve us that we had to come and see the construction. Let’s start looking at decorations like this.
Pip Inn has become the image of a ‘motel’.
Saran Limsawatwong : Even though our initial purpose was not to be a motel. and try to escape being a motel But it has started to change since the boom of the cocktail lounge. After the cocktail lounge, there will be the cafe era, where our customer group began to expand to include more nightlife people.
That is, after the store closed There’s nowhere to go. Those people who traveled there ended up staying at our hotel. It is one part that makes Pip Inn become a large target group.
But from the era of cocktail lounges or the era of cafes The customer base is traveling groups that either stay overnight, stay temporarily or come to eat here. It has changed. After that cafes started to take off and cocktail lounges started to fail. The trend also started to go down. Including Pip Inn
Put together is that People’s lifestyles have also changed. I mean, he didn’t feel the need to enter a hotel like this anymore. And during that time there were condos. There is a room for rent. There are hotels that are 4 stars, 3 stars, not necessarily 5 stars. People can use that kind of service. Therefore, people don’t get stuck at Pip Inn. or motel then But people will stick to convenient locations and feel comfortable from that location.
The era when Pip Inn flourished with the secret code of youth
Saran Limsawatwong : Talking about the past, wow! Shy people, like women are shy. I don’t dare go into the hotel. I understand, men like us can’t just go and invite them directly. Suppose we say Shall we go to the hotel? It doesn’t look good, I understand.
It will be a joke that will stick in the mouth of men saying “Hey!” Let’s go eat rad na and go see birds. It turns into inviting women by looking at the bird park. Invite him to taste Rad Na Pip Inn. It was a trick that people used in those days. You will know that Oh…went to Pip Inn.
It was the cuteness of that era, which Saran told us: If asked about Pip Inn’s current business Troubled or not, he said. “I think it’s chaotic. But I’m prepared. And we grew up from a struggling business family, so we didn’t feel that it was an obstacle. Because we will move forward.”
At present, it is part of the Pip Inn Hotel. The plan has been adjusted to become S Hotel, which was created by the hands of the second generation heir. The area will be divided from the old business to be made into a 5-star hotel (depending on the location) or a 4-star hotel in the name of S Hotel according to the location.
Saran concluded the interview by saying: One motto he got from his father in doing business is: “honest” Because of the hotel business like Pip Inn that people are addicted to the picture of a motel It’s a gray business for other people, so we have to be honest. and sincere with customers
