Wyndham Hotel Group, part of the Wyndham Worldwide group, has secured a contract to manage the new 152-bedroom Ramada Phuket South Sea hotel, strengthening the company's growing presence in Thailand.

The property, owned by Phuket-based property and development company South Sea Resort, will add to the five Ramada hotels currently open in Thailand and is the second agreement to be signed between South Sea Resort and Wyndham.

In March, the two companies announced the development of the Wyndham Khao Lak, which is expected to open later this year.

Due to open later this year, the Ramada Phuket South Sea hotel will feature a large spa, an outdoor pool, health club, meeting space, pool bar and a range of restaurants.
