Dusit Thani Krabi Beach Resort is a luxury beachfront resort on Klong Muang Beach in Krabi, Thailand. The resort currently has 240 guest rooms and suites, together with beachfront pools, restaurants, bars and Devarana Spa.
For Tongda Hospitality, this has not been a one-time furniture order.
Since 2024, Tongda has supported the resort's renovation programme with customised loose furniture, with the scope increasing across successive phases.
The project has required a different production approach from a standard new-build hotel package. Each phase has involved new furniture requirements, design adjustments and sample approval before bulk production.

Custom loose furniture supplied for a renovated guest room at Dusit Thani Krabi Beach Resort.
Renovating an operating resort is different from furnishing a new hotel.
Furniture has to fit existing spaces, production has to follow the renovation programme, and different phases may not have exactly the same design requirements.
This was particularly relevant to the Dusit Thani Krabi project.
The resort's current public information shows that enhancement work is being carried out in stages rather than through a complete closure. Its 2026 programme includes room enhancements as well as work involving Breeze Pool & Bar, the Breeze Events Area, Limoncello Italian Restaurant and the lobby, while other resort facilities remain operational.
For Tongda, the furniture programme has also developed in stages.
The first phase in 2024 covered 63 guestrooms and 3 suites. In 2025, the furniture scope expanded to 60 guestrooms and outdoor areas. In 2026, the Tongda furniture package increased further to 120 guestrooms and outdoor furniture.
The important point is not simply the number of rooms.
It is the way the project evolved.
The 2024 phase covered 63 guestrooms and 3 suites.
Tongda's responsibility was the loose furniture package, while fixed furniture was handled through on-site production.
The first phase included a range of customised furniture for guestroom and suite environments, including seating, tables, bedside furniture and other movable pieces.
Before bulk production, Tongda developed samples for approval.
This gave the project team an opportunity to confirm:
Furniture proportions
Materials and finishes
Upholstery
Colour
Construction details
Overall appearance
Once the sample requirements were confirmed, production moved to the factory.
One of the most important parts of the project was maintaining consistency when the approved designs moved into batch production.
The 2024 production photos show large quantities of matching furniture being manufactured at the same time.
This included repeated bedside and storage furniture components with consistent dimensions, finishes and decorative details.
For a renovation project, the factory cannot simply reproduce a product once and stop.
The approved design needs to become a repeatable manufacturing standard.
The finished guestrooms and suites show how the loose furniture works together with the resort's wider interior design.
Natural wood tones, upholstered seating and relaxed furniture proportions are used throughout the rooms, supporting the resort's contemporary tropical character.
The completed furniture includes both practical pieces and more prominent seating elements designed for guests to use within the room.
The result also reflects the type of accommodation currently offered by the resort, which includes rooms with daybeds and balcony seating as well as larger suites with separate living areas.
The next phase expanded to 60 guestrooms and outdoor furniture.
The furniture mix also became broader.
The 2025 production records show multiple furniture categories being manufactured in parallel, including tables, desks, chairs, upholstered seating and outdoor pieces.
This meant the production team had to manage more than one furniture construction method at the same time.
The project included:
Casegoods
Desks and tables
Guestroom seating
Lounge furniture
Outdoor seating
Resort terrace furniture
The introduction of outdoor furniture was also important because resort furniture has to consider different conditions from indoor guestroom furniture.
Furniture used around terraces and outdoor hospitality spaces needs appropriate construction, materials and finishing for the intended environment.
The project did not simply repeat the 2024 furniture package.
As the renovation programme progressed, designs and furniture requirements changed.
For Tongda, that meant developing new samples before entering the next production phase.
This is one of the practical differences between a long-running hotel renovation and a single production order.
The process was repeated:
New Requirement
→ Sample Development
→ Review and Adjustment
→ Approval
→ Bulk Production
Rather than treating a previous year's product as automatically approved for the next phase, the updated design was reviewed before production.
This approach gave the project team greater control over changes while keeping production based on an approved reference.
The 2026 phase expanded further to 120 guestrooms and outdoor furniture within Tongda's furniture scope.
The production photos from this phase show a much broader range of furniture being manufactured in volume.
Among the products recorded are:
Guestroom bedside tables
Dressing / console furniture
Desks
Chairs
Lounge seating
Terrace tables
Outdoor lounge furniture
Other loose furniture pieces
Custom terrace coffee tables produced for Dusit Thani Krabi Beach Resort renovation
Custom guestroom furniture in production for Dusit Thani Krabi renovation
Custom resort lounge furniture produced for Dusit Thani Krabi Beach Resort
The production scale is significant, but the more important point is that the project still follows the same basic discipline used in the earlier phases:
Approve the design first. Then produce at scale.
The project now includes both guestroom and outdoor loose furniture.
That means different products may require different materials, construction methods and finishing processes while still needing to work within the same hospitality design language.
For example, the production photos show furniture using combinations of:
Timber finishes
Upholstery
Woven or cane-style details
Painted elements
Metal components
Outdoor-suitable construction
This is where a hotel furniture manufacturer needs more than a single production capability.
Tongda's factory workflow brings together woodworking, panel furniture, upholstery, finishing and assembly processes, allowing different furniture categories to be coordinated under one project. This is consistent with Tongda's published manufacturing and FF&E capabilities.
One point is important to clarify about this project.
Tongda's scope was loose furniture.
Fixed furniture was produced on site.
That distinction matters because the two types of furniture solve different problems.
Loose furniture can be manufactured centrally and delivered in batches according to the renovation programme.
Fixed furniture often needs to respond directly to existing site dimensions and conditions, making on-site fabrication practical for certain renovation environments.
Keeping these responsibilities separate also makes the project scope clearer for procurement and project teams.
Looking across the three phases, the challenge has not been simply producing more furniture each year.
The project has required Tongda to repeatedly manage:
Customisation
Each furniture design has to be translated into a practical production solution.
Sample Development
New or revised designs are sampled before bulk production.
Batch Consistency
Approved samples must become repeatable production standards.
Multiple Furniture Categories
Guestroom, suite and outdoor furniture need to be produced within the same wider project.
Phased Delivery
Production has to follow the hotel's renovation schedule rather than a single one-time delivery.
Long-Term Coordination
The team needs to maintain enough project information from earlier phases while adapting to new requirements in later phases.
The most meaningful part of this project is the development of the relationship over time.
In 2024, Tongda's scope focused on a defined group of guestrooms and suites.
In 2025, the furniture programme expanded to additional guestrooms and outdoor areas.
In 2026, the furniture scope increased again.
That progression means the project has developed through actual production experience rather than being planned as one fixed package from the beginning.
For Tongda, this type of long-term hospitality project is valuable because it allows the factory team to understand the client's expectations, improve production coordination and respond more efficiently when the next renovation phase begins.
The resort's own current information also confirms that its guest rooms and wider facilities continue to undergo phased enhancement rather than a single all-at-once redevelopment.
Tongda Hospitality supported the Dusit Thani Krabi Beach Resort renovation programme as the supplier and manufacturer of customised loose furniture.
The project involved more than manufacturing individual pieces.
It required:
Design coordination
→ Sample Development
→ Approval
→ Batch Production
→ Quality Control
→ Delivery
→ Support for Multiple Renovation Phases
This is the type of process Tongda applies to international hospitality furniture projects where furniture needs to be customised to a specific design and delivered according to a wider project schedule.
