– It was the English Poet and Playwright Joseph Addison who said “What sunshine is to flowers, smiles are to humanity”. Thailand is a land of beautiful and luxuriant Tropical flowers and it is also renowned as the Land of Smiles. The Team at Arnoma Grand loves to make Guests welcome and to demonstrate the famous Thai Smile and Hospitality although many of the 350 Arnoma Grand Team Members who work behind the scenes to make the stays of our Guests comfortable and memorable may rarely meet a Guest. Our three Florists, are a shining example of that quiet dedication. The Teams’ many responsibilities include making sure the Centre piece, which greets all Guests when they arrive in the Lobby of Arnoma Grand, looks fresh and impressive. All the flowers come from Thailand, and perhaps one of the most enjoyable and fulfilling tasks for the Team is working on the beautiful flower displays that the Arnoma Grand Team designs for Weddings being held at the Hotel.

A Bachelor of Arts Degree holder and Art and flower lover, Khun Wongduan’s proudest professional moment was preparing a display to welcome Princess Sirivannavari to the Hotel. Our Florist Team is never happier than when they are creating another beautiful flower display for our Guests.
And the Arnoma Grand Team is never happier than when they are making our Guests smile.
