New Bangkok Properties for Onyx

Already a fast-expanding Asia-Pacific serviced apartment brand with two properties in two prime locations in Bangkok, Shama Serviced Apartments by Onyx Hospitality Group is doubling its neighbourhood presence in the Thai capital by adding Phrom Phong and Yen Akat to its portfolio in 2020.

The two new properties – Yen Akat and Shama Yen Akat Bangkok – will complement the existing Shama Sukhumvit Bangkok in Ploenchit and Shama Lakeview Asoke Bangkok.
