By coincidence, Patrice visited Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam the first time in 2014 and fell in love with Vietnamese culture. It was a destiny when he had to move back and forth between Vietnam and Thailand to manage a few more properties, such as Amari Vogue, Krabi (Thailand), Dusit Hotel International in Phu Quoc (Vietnam), Pimalai Resort & Spa (Thailand). During Mr. Landrein’s tenure as General Manager of Pimalai Resort & Spa, Thailand, the property was ranked as No. 1st in Thailand, and also No. 9th Best Luxury Hotel and Resort in the World on TripAdvisor in 2021.

His long-term goal is to open the Hospitality Education Center for orphan children named “Agnes & Joseph” as these names are linked to his mother and father’s surname. And Patrice wishes he could make the mission become the reality either in Vietnam or Thailand.
