Thailand's Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra presented the Thailand Energy Award to Mr. Roannayutt Oan-Oon, Sukhothai Heritage Resort Manager, at Thai Government House. A total of 263 hotels participated in the event.

Consequently, the Department of Alternative Energy Development and Efficiency submitted the Sukhothai Heritage Resort as one of Thailand's nominations for the 2013 ASEAN Energy Award whereby the resort won its third award for the Best Practices Competition for Energy Efficient Building in the same category.

"We are delighted for the Sukhothai Heritage Resort for receiving not just another one but two recognitions from the Thailand Energy Awards 2013 and ASEAN Energy Awards 2013 for Best Practices Competition for Energy Efficiency in a Tropical Building Category," said Jonathan Kreuter, Director of Marketing Communications for The Unique Collection of Hotels & Resorts, which manages the property. "These awards mark the recognition of the resort's commitment to the community and environment. Every employee is very proud that the resort can be a role model as an Energy Efficient Building for other private sectors nation wide."

The Thailand Energy Awards have been established by the Department of Alternative Energy Development and Efficiency, Ministry of Energy in order to honor and give recognition to those who have outstanding performance in energy-serving and renewable-energy development.
