Centara Hotels & Resorts is offering a program at each of its 21 properties throughout Thailand in which guests deposit money with the hotel and the hotel adds a further amount of between 50 and 100 percent of the deposit for the guests to use during their stay.

Participation in the Baht Bonanza program is completely free, with the money available for use in the hotel restaurants, spa, and other selected activities. Guests are therefore able to double their spending power while staying at the hotel, with Centara delivering value not only on the room rates but also on the facilities used by guests.

Baht Bonanza works on a sliding scale. If a guest deposits 10,000 baht upon arrival, Centara adds free of charge the sum of 5,000 baht, giving the guest a total of 15,000 baht to enjoy during his or her stay. A 20,000 baht deposit will see 12,000 baht added by Centara, bringing the total to 32,000 baht. Other amounts deposited see an incremental increase in the amounts matched by Centara, up to a deposit of 100,000 baht being matched by a Centara contribution of 100,000 baht. In this way, the scheme is attractive both to independent travelers and to families or groups, as it has the flexibility to be used by all categories of guest. Baht Bonanza has to be agreed within the first 24 hours of stay, and no refunds are available for unspent residual value.

There is a top-up option, in which a new Bonanza package can be issued to the value of the guest’s choice upon the settling of the existing package.Baht Bonanza is valid through to 31 October 2010.
Centara Hotels & Resorts is Thailand’s own largest hotel and resort management company, with properties throughout Thailand at Bangkok, Hua Hin, Krabi, Pattaya, Samui, Koh Pha Ngan, Phuket, Trat, Hat Yai, Chiang Mai, Mae Sot, and Udon Thani. The group currently has 21 properties open, and is in the process of opening a further three in Thailand along with two overseas, at the Maldives and in India.
