Asset World Corp Public Company (AWC) has announced future plans for Thailand’s first DreamWorks Animation-Themed Hotel at Aquatique Pattaya in partnership with Universal Destinations & Experiences.

Gerald Raines, Senior Vice President, Global Location Based Entertainment at Universal Destinations & Experiences said, “DreamWorks Animation stories and characters are beloved by families around the world. Through our ongoing collaboration with AWC, we’re exploring new ways to bring them to life, from the energy and adventure of a themed water park to a hotel where the storytelling extends throughout the stay. We’re excited to create more opportunities for fans to experience the worlds they love.”

Scheduled to open in the first quarter of 2033, the new 300-key luxury hotel features an immersive concept that extends storytelling throughout the guest experience, creating a distinctive family entertainment and lifestyle experience in Thailand.

The plan also includes an indoor-outdoor themed water park to bring landmark beachfront water leisure to Pattaya’s vibrant coastline, serving as a major entertainment anchor within the flagship Aquatique destination. 

From Jurassic World at Asiatique, The Riverfront Destination to the gates of Aquatique, our journey with Universal Destinations & Experiences has been about bringing the world’s most beloved stories home to Thailand,” said Wallap Trasorat, CEO and President of AWC. “With Thailand’s first DreamWorks Animation-themed hotel, Aquatique moves beyond a collection of world-class components to become a complete story - where families can flow from an immersive water park to beachfront dining, wellness, and a hotel where the storytelling continues around the clock.”

She added, “Our co-creation journey continues with the plan to bring DreamWorks Animation-Themed Hotel to Asiatique, The Riverfront Destination, linking AWC Riverside Journey from river to the sea at Aquatique. Together with Universal Destinations & Experiences, we are building a 360-degree destination that creates enduring value for Bangkok, Pattaya and across AWC lifestyle destination in Thailand. With our shared vision we contribute to bring global leading family destination for the tourism industry.”
