Hotel revenue management consulting is an independent review followed by a plan. I look at 12 to 24 months of your own data, shop your comp set, and find where rates, restrictions or channels are costing you money. Unlike outsourcing, I do not make your daily decisions; your team does, with a better plan.
This is my view of Bangkok. Bangkok's condo market has a legal problem many owners ignore: renting for less than 30 days without a hotel licence is generally not allowed, and many buildings ban short stays. The legal model for most condos is monthly. Songkran and cool-season visitors create short-stay demand for properly licensed units.
If you own one condo or a small Bangkok portfolio, I review how it is priced, whether it is legally set up for nightly stays, and which lines and districts it really competes in, then rebuild the plan with you so every month of the year has a clear target.
The service in general is described on my hotel revenue management consulting page; this page covers how I apply it in Bangkok.
A review of the last 12 to 24 months: pricing decisions, rate architecture, restrictions, channel mix and cost, comp-set position, pace and the systems behind them, with every gap ranked by value.
Base rates and floors per room type, BAR levels tied to occupancy and pace, seasonal and event calendars and restrictions, written as a 12-month calendar your team can run.
Which channels to sell on, at what rate and with which promotions, so the mix protects margin: OTAs, corporate, wholesale, metasearch and direct.
A demand forecast, an annual budget, weekly pace reports and a workshop for your team, plus honest advice on revenue systems before you sign for one.

Alaa Elhadi, revenue management consultant. Cornell certified, 18 years in hotel and short-term rental revenue.
I lift weekend floors early and stop last-minute discounts, because cool-season travellers book Bangkok weeks ahead and still pay full rate in the final days.
For licensed units I set a three or four night minimum across the water festival and price it as its own short season, not as an ordinary April week.
The heat thins leisure demand, so I lean on business weekdays and keep weekend rates realistic rather than holding out for peak-season prices.
I move effort to monthly and weekly stays and protect the nightly floor; cutting it deeply here only teaches repeat guests to wait for the rains.
Confirm whether the building and licence allow stays under 30 days.
Build monthly rates for condos, priced by BTS or MRT access.
Price Songkran and Chinese New Year as premiums for licensed units.
Target medical tourists with weekly and monthly stays.
Lower rainy-season floors.
Performance has flattened
RevPAR is stuck while the market around you moves on.
Opening, renovating or rebranding
A new positioning needs a pricing and distribution strategy built from scratch.
An owner wants a second opinion
You need the operator's numbers checked by someone outside the hotel.
You have a team but want a better plan
Someone prices today and wants an audit, a calendar and training.
Thirty minutes on your property, your market and where you think revenue leaks. I scope the work and confirm the price before starting.
With read-only access to your PMS, channel manager and extranets I analyse the data, shop your comp set and talk to whoever sets rates today.
A written report and a working session: the gaps ranked by value, the strategy to close them and a 12-month calendar.
Step 4
I can set the strategy up in your systems, train your team and check in monthly, or run it for you as outsourced management.
Every engagement is fixed-scope and fixed-price. After a free discovery call you get the scope and the price in writing before any work starts. Training days and monthly check-ins are quoted separately.

Real feedback from PriceLabs pricing strategy sessions with Alaa.
Alaa is a consummate professional! Patient, thorough, efficient and effective in communicating. He not only made savvy adjustments to my dynamic pricing strategy, but also helped me to understand the reasoning behind his methods, granting me a better understanding of the PriceLabs platform. Strong work!
Airbnb host
Alaa was fantastic, going through each of the properties I had and gave great advice and actioned a great game plan. Would highly recommend for anyone looking to enhance their pricing strategy on PriceLabs. Alaa's experience goes beyond this which makes it very beneficial to have this holistic approach.
Property manager
Alaa helped me optimize my PriceLabs settings for my Airbnb listing and was very helpful and patient with answering any questions I had. He was also able to clearly explain why he made the changes he made, and it was obvious that he had a lot of experience in this field. I will definitely be back!

For hotel revenue management consulting, that is where my audit begins, because a finding here changes every recommendation after it. How the listing ranks for its BTS or MRT station on Agoda and Airbnb, since in this city guests filter by train line before they ever compare price.
Busiest in Bangkok: November to February and Songkran in mid-April. November to February: I lift weekend floors early and stop last-minute discounts, because cool-season travellers book Bangkok weeks ahead and still pay full rate in the final days. Mid-April (Songkran): For licensed units I set a three or four night minimum across the water festival and price it as its own short season, not as an ordinary April week. For hotel revenue management consulting, my audit tests whether your current rates and restrictions capture these windows, and the 12-month calendar I hand over sets them in advance.
Condo positioning by BTS access, holiday premiums, and 30-night minimum strategies where building rules apply. For hotel revenue management consulting, I check every recommendation against the Bangkok calendar before I make it. June to October: I move effort to monthly and weekly stays and protect the nightly floor; cutting it deeply here only teaches repeat guests to wait for the rains.
The legal model for most condos is monthly. Songkran and cool-season visitors create short-stay demand for properly licensed units. That is the view I bring to hotel revenue management consulting in Bangkok.
Results depend on the property, the starting point and the season, so I do not promise a number. In Bangkok the first gains from hotel revenue management consulting usually come from the change with the clearest local signal: build monthly rates for condos, priced by BTS or MRT access. I review progress against your own occupancy, ADR and RevPAR, not a market average.
Bangkok sells mostly through Airbnb, Booking.com and Agoda. June to October: I move effort to monthly and weekly stays and protect the nightly floor; cutting it deeply here only teaches repeat guests to wait for the rains. For hotel revenue management consulting in Bangkok, my distribution review covers each channel's cost, contribution and rate position, then recommends a mix.
For hotel revenue management consulting, i begin with 12 to 24 months of your own data, so the first findings are about your property in Bangkok, not the city. Price Songkran and Chinese New Year as premiums for licensed units. Next: lower rainy-season floors.
Chinatown (Yaowarat): Character stays with heavy Chinese New Year demand; I build that week as a premium block and price the rest of the year against boutique hotels nearby. Ari and Phaya Thai and Thonglor and Ekkamai get their own treatment. For hotel revenue management consulting, i review your comp set and rate position for your own part of Bangkok, not the market average.
For hotel revenue management consulting, consulting gives you an independent view and a plan your own team can run, without handing the daily decisions to anyone. I have optimized 100+ properties in and around Bangkok and work remotely in Indochina Time (UTC+7). Locally, that shows up in decisions like this: price Songkran and Chinese New Year as premiums for licensed units.

The scope of hotel revenue management consulting is the same in every market, but the plan is not: in Bangkok I would start from mid-April (Songkran): For licensed units I set a three or four night minimum across the water festival and price it as its own short season, not as an ordinary April week.
