Wings Takes Off As Quickest Selling Project You imagine,we inspire

The charm of Old Phuket Town’s 18th century architecture has been inspiration to the artistically inclined for generations. It also proved a popular theme of improvisation for the designers of Wings, a new residential estate of singlebedroom pool villas near the west coast of Phuket.

“We gave the architects and designers a free reign to create an exclusive community of contemporary single-story abodes inspired by the colonial architecture found around Old Phuket Town and the streets of sister towns in Penang and Malacca, Malaysia,” said Mr Wirachai.

When Phuket-based property developers the Two Villas Group integrated the old-town charm of Phuket Town into Wings pool villas, they instantly won the hearts of property buyers, who snapped up all but one of all the available homes in Phase I within three months of the project’s launch.

“In fact, the principle exterior colour chosen for Wings homes was a stunning ocean blue, emulating the façade of one of the elegant colonial-era mansions in Penang, which has given Wings homes a uniquely fresh and vibrant character,” he said.

Two Villas Group Managing Director Khun Wirachai Pranveerapaibool said Wing’s overwhelming success was down to an ideal location near Laguna resort, affordability as a starter or holiday home, and most of all, a fresh architectural approach to a traditional theme.

As with colonial architecture, the designers gave the modern Wings homes a classic touch of class while keeping things practical and making the most of the tropical climate, to offer stylish private pool villas at affordable prices.

Wings’ rapid sales success was also bolstered with a series of workshop tours of Old Phuket Town, jointly organised by Phuket Heritage Trails (www. phuketheritagetrails.com) and the Two Villas Group, which gave participants a deeper insight into the little-known historical nooks and crannies of Old Phuket Town and the inspiration behind the chic new home designs.

“These are new homes with an old story. Just like traditional Paranakan houses, natural light is allowed to fill the rooms. The front entrance opens to a highceiling hall with an oriental backdrop, which leads to the spacious bedroom and en-suite bathroom,” said Two Villas Group Marketing Director Kanokpan Pranveerapaibool. With many high-end features, including a private pool along an entire side of the home and a roof-top patio for under THB 6 million, Wings homes are very competitively priced when you compare what you would pay for a much smaller condominium unit, for example,” said Khun Kanokpan. Wings is the 28 residential development by the Two Villas Group, which also offers a complete range of integrated property services with Two Villas Holiday and Two Villas Ready, listing fully-furnished houses for sale in Phuket. With all but one of the units sold in Wings Phase I, 14 more pool-villa units in Phase II are now on the market.

People Profile

Simon James Simon James is the International Race Office for, amongst others, this month's Six Senses Phuket Raceweek regatta. He sees huge potential for Phuket becoming a venue for professional sailing championships. Where were you born and what were you involved in before arriving on Phuket? I'm from Cardiff in Wales. I studied computer science but also drama and photography as I wanted to work for the BBC but, due to government cutbacks, never quite got there. I was interested in micro computers and set up the UK’s first high-street outlet for home computers. Suppliers would arrive with a carload of computer games and by lunchtime all were sold. With the development of the Macintosh, I then worked with Apple Computers for 10 years. When did you arrive on Phuket? In 1992, I took a three month sabbatical, which lasted three years, skippering yachts in the Caribbean and Mediterranean. During this time I got to know the team at Sunsail well. In 1995, they asked me to come to Phuket as a skipper to help set up the Royal Yachting Association (RYA) Sailing School and I ended up as their Asia Sales and Marketing Manager. Why did you decide to stay on Phuket? South East Asia has some amazing sailing destinations, so is an ideal place to be based. There are many new Asian sailing events in places like Korea, Japan, Hong Kong and China. So what does your job involve? I'm an International Race Officer for the International Sailing Federation (ISAF) based in the UK. I'm like a referee or the conductor of an orchestra. I do everything from small events to the Olympics. For example, in one month last year I did regattas in five countries. I act as a consultant to create a template, if the event organisers require it, to run the regatta to the correct standards. Or I could advise on the types of boats, find volunteers, run seminars and train on the water staff. Hopefully, as a result of this type of work, more local Thais and foreigners will get more experience at running their own regattas. What about your management/leadership style? I think of each event almost like a start-up where we can create something unique. I try to build what I do around the people taking part, who often pay a lot of money to be there. They want value for money. What satisfaction do you get from doing this job? Seeing new events develop. Since the Asian Boating Awards and the Asian Marine Boating Awards started I've been associated with at least one of the winning entries every year. This year, Six Senses Phuket Raceweek won the Best Asian Regatta 2011. Where do you live? I've been renting a house in Kathu for 10 years. Why do you stay in Kathu? Kathu's central. There's easy access to Phuket Town and everywhere else. What do you do besides work and sail? I cycle and enjoy photography. I also rent a place at Khanon, near Koh Samui, which is a great area for cycling. While travelling I also take a lot of photographs, many of which are used in travel brochures and publications like the Southeast Asia Pilot and the World Cruising Guide. Why type of car do you drive? A 10-year-old Ford Mondeo that I've had for five or six years. Are you married with children? No, but my Thai partner Kae and I have been together for 11 years. Kae runs the administration side of the Phuket King’s Cup Regatta. She also helped run The Bay Regatta - Phuket, Phang Nga, Krabi this year. What do you particularly like about Phuket? The defining thing is it's the best of boating worlds. You can always find a deserted island where you're the only people there. Phuket has a good marine infrastructure and there are not many things you can't get done here.

What do you dislike about Phuket? Increased traffic, although that's relative. One thing that spoils it is that there are not many restaurants and bars actually on the beach. There's always a road between them. What are you favourite places? On a yacht going out of Ao Chalong Bay. I don’t spend a lot of time in Patong these days. I like the North Coast area. What hobbies do you have? Computers and, as I mentioned before, photography. I set up websites within the sailing industry. I'd like to do a sailing podcast. Do you support any charities? Most regattas in Thailand are non profit making and linked to charitable projects. Where do you see the future of Phuket sailing going? We're slowly earning a reputation around the world for our regattas. I think Thailand will eventually become a destination for professional championships. We're gradually getting the facilities and we have great hospitality. We're putting Phuket on the yachting map. How do you go about achieving this objective? We should establish a Phuket template. For example the Ao Chalong Yacht Club has just established a sailing school to teach skills like navigation. People here need to get the right qualifications and we need to build infrastructure. Hopefully we can work with the local authorities to put in the infrastructure. We need to show the world that we have both the facilities and the expertise here in Phuket.

Feature Six Senses Phuket Raceweek 2011

ALL SYSTEMS GO FOR

Voted ‘Best Asian Regatta 2011’ at the annual Asia Boating Awards in Hong Kong, the eighth edition of Six Senses Phuket Raceweek, running from 20-24 July 2011 at Evason Phuket & Bon Island on Phuket’s southeast coast, looks like it’s in for a bumper year. Phuket Raceweek is only the second of Thailand’s six regattas to win the prestigious ‘Best Regatta’ award. With a record 37 confirmed entries already in the bag by mid-June (compared to a total 38 entries in 2010), organisers and rights owners Image Asia Events Co., Ltd. are expecting to beat all previous entry levels. “We always get a rush of entries nearer the regatta, so the early signs are excellent for a strong fleet this year,” said Image Asia’s MD, Grenville Fordham. Confirmed entries include several first-timers, led by David Ross’s brand new Ker 40 pure racing yacht, KukuKERchu, which will debut at Phuket Raceweek 2011. Responding to the ‘Best Regatta’ win, Fordham commented: “Naturally, we’re delighted with the ‘Best Regatta’ accolade, which reflects what our participants have been telling us for the past several years.” On the sponsorship front, Phuket Raceweek has scored a first in Thailand; Mount Gay Rum – the oldest brand of rum in the world and sponsor of 120 regattas worldwide – has chosen Six Senses Phuket Raceweek as the launch platform for the brand in Thailand. The launch will take place at the regatta’s opening party, with a Caribbean buffet and entertainment – and plenty of Mount Gay rum. “We’re honoured to have been selected by Mount Gay Rum as the launch event of their celebrated brand in Thailand, and delighted to be the first regatta in Southeast Asia to be able to offer participants the coveted Mount Gay ‘Red Cap’ – a symbol of the passion, spirit and identity that unite the seafaring family,” said Fordham.

Kittipat Chaiyakul, Marketing Director for Remy Cointreau, Mount Gay’s parent company, added: "Since its origin, Mount Gay Rum has been intimately linked to the sailing world. We’re delighted to support Six Senses Phuket Raceweek for the first time.” On the water, this year’s event will count a couple of well-known ‘yachting personalities’, Dee Caffari and Paul Larsen. In 2006 Dee became the first woman to sail solo, non stop, around the world against the prevailing winds and currents and was awarded an MBE in recognition of her achievement. More recently, she competed in the 2008/9 Vendée Globe – a gruelling race around the world, non-stop and alone – crossing the finish line in 6th place out of an original fleet of 30 competitors. In June of the same year, Dee and an all-female crew went on to smash the mono-hull speed record around Britain and Ireland. Dee will race on board the Andaman Cabriolet catamaran, Niña. Paul Larsen has a history of sailing some of the wildest and fastest boats ever to grace the oceans and is project leader of the Vestas Sailrocket team, which is currently preparing in Namibia for an attempt at the ‘Outright World Speed Sailing Record’. Paul was a member of Pete Goss’s ill-fated Team Philips and his many achievements include a winning nonstop circumnavigation in the Oryx Quest and a double handed lap of Britain with Pete Goss on a 30 foot Seacart trimaran. Paul will be racing on the Andaman Cabriolet catamaran, Da Vinci.

Six Senses Phuket Raceweek 2011

Feature

World-renowned yachtswoman, Dee Caffari will race on the Andaman Cabriolet Niña (above left), while Paul Larsen, currently in the middle of an attempt for the Outright World Speed Sailing Record, will skipper the Andaman Cabriolet Da Vinci (above right). Dee Caffari is attending the regatta as Six Senses 'Sailing Ambassador'.

Back onshore, participants will be treated to the regatta’s hallmark 5-star buffet parties, free flow regatta bar, courtesy of Siam Winery & Mount Gay, and great entertainment – although this year with a difference. In response to feedback from previous years’ racers, two of the parties will start early and finish early. On these days, sailors will be welcomed ashore at the Evason regatta venue with a full free-flow bar from 3pm until 7pm, with a prizegiving at 5pm and buffet at 5.30pm. These two ‘easy’ nights offer a break for exhausted sailors between the Mount Gay Launch Party, the hugely popular Da Vinci off-site party after the first day’s racing and the extravagant final night party and series prizegiving. An addition to the onshore fun and games this year comes from Cosponsor, Franke. The Switzerland-based international kitchen equipment supplier, which also sponsors the Alinghi America’s Cup team, is celebrating 100 years in business with its regatta sponsorship and is staging a cooking competition (broadcast live on Phuket Radio 91.5FM) at Evason exclusively for those unsung heroes – the yacht charter cooks of Phuket. To find out more about this competition with some fabulous prizes on offer, contact FTH-Info@franke.com. Entry deadline 10 July. Perhaps of more direct interest to regatta participants, Co-sponsor QBE Insurance will liven up the skippers’ briefing with a 20,000 Baht contribution to someone’s regatta entry fee – no claim forms required! Last but not least, there’s the ‘explosion’ of the skipper’s bag… “We’re in the process of calculating the value of the traditional bags this year and are confident that the value will exceed the cost of entry to the regatta!” said Fordham.

In addition to the mandatory Sailing Instructions, the Six Senses Phuket Raceweek 2011 skippers’ bag (actually three bags – a kitbag by Rodenstock, a document case by Nautica and a Quantum bag) will be packed with Rodenstock sunglasses, Nautica T-shirts and polo shirts, Gybe caps for every participant, the coveted Mount Gay red cap, a B&G cap, a Franke dry bag, top-of-the-line Nivea suncare products and beer coolers by Paul Poole and Andaman Cabriolet. “Unfortunately, there won’t be a bottle of Mount Gay Rum in every bag,” said Fordham, adding, “but participants will be the first in Thailand to be able to buy a bottle – and every purchase will be accompanied by a Mount Gay red cap (while stocks last).”

About Chef Laurent Valette : Even as a boy growing up in Lille, France, Laurent always wanted to be a chef. He studied at the Lille Gourmet Culinary School, from where, after three years, he graduated with distinction. During these early years, he travelled around France learning all the complexities and subtleties of French cuisine. He returned to Lille to work at The Huitriere – a Michelin rated restaurant. Next, bitten by wanderlust, Laurent decided to seek out new horizons. He travelled to Belgium where he had the opportunity to learn new culinary skills from the renowned chef, Pierre Yves Gosse at the Relais Chậteau de la Cense du Bois. Still keen to refine his skills and discover new gastronomic styles, he travelled to Italy, Spain and Morocco. There he decided to call a halt, and took a challenging position as executive chef in one of the most fashionable restaurants in Casablanca – The Trica. He stayed there for five years. Laurent has also had extensive experience in banqueting in France, and is very knowledgeable about charcuterie and butchery. In Italy he learned how to prepare fresh pasta and pizzas. He loves to combine the traditional techniques of his French background with the Mediterranean influences he acquired on his travels. Now he’s the Executive Chef of all the kitchens of the Wine Connection Deli and Bistro group, where he’s created an original and tasty Mediterranean menu, which includes pizzas and pasta. The emphasis is on top quality ingredients and value for money – all served in a delightful bistro ambience. He feels very privileged to be able to use the resources of Wine Connection to access fresh imported cheese, cold cuts and Australian chilled meats. All those products are imported direct from the producers. This allows Laurent the opportunity to create new special menus on a monthly basis.

Around Phuket Baan Rim Pa

Thai

'Location, location, location' as the saying goes. It doesn’t matter how good you are, if you’re not in the right location, forget it. Baan Rim Pa has become one of Thailand’s best-known restaurants, with a reputation stretching much further. It is perched on a cliff, with teak floors and the constant swish of the surf ‘downstairs’. There are some restaurants that just encapsulate the word ‘romantic’ and here, with Tommy Doyle playing classics on his grand piano, the sea breeze and the delicate aromas of world-class cooking in the air, this House by the Sea is one of the most romantic places to eat in Phuket. Situated on a rocky outcrop, overlooking the Andaman Sea, Baan Rim Pa prides itself in superb, authentic Royal Thai Cuisine, an ambience second to none and the most spectacular views on the island. Baan Rim Pa is the winner of the prestigious Wine Spectator Award of Excellence nine years in succession.

Mediterranean/Pacific Rim

Taste Restaurant on Surin Beach offers a Mediterranean Pan-pacific menu with beachside seating. The menu is dictated by love for food made with fresh ingredients. Favourites like Tamarind Glazed Barbequed Ribs, a family recipe of Nepalese Indian curry and Australian ribeye steaks has made Taste an expat favourite. Weekly specials offer innovative creations: Black Crab Ravioli with chive mousse, grilled sardines and Wing Bean Salad with bbq chili shrimp. Fresh fish, which comes daily from the markets is served in a variety of ways from the hot and tangy 3-spice fish, to the classic seared snapper with beurre blanc sauce. White snapper is prepared in a ginger white wine broth with Japanese accents, served with rice and sesame salad. Tuna is lightly grilled and prepared with mixed greens served with vinaigrette dressing. Taste creates a fine dining experience with causal beach ambiance and exudes beach chic, with attentive staff, great wines, and fabulous cocktails. The 99 baht happy hour (4-7pm) Mojitos are unbeatable. Taste is the perfect setting for private parties, weddings and corporate events.

Around Phuket The Royal Kitchen

Chinese (Cantonese)

With spectacular and panoramic views of Patong and the Andaman Sea from the 25th floor of the The Royal Paradise Resort & Spa and the splendour of a glamourous setting with the unparalleled delights of Cantonese style Chinese food, The Royal Kitchen is a venue that is not to missd on any diner's list. Peking Duck, a traditional Cantonese favourite, is the signature dish of the house. A show of artistry sees the carving of the crisp skin into thin slices. Diners then wrap the succulent slices in a pancake with green onion, cucumber slices and a sweet sauce to savour.

Italian

Looking for a break from the tourist spots on Phuket’s west coast – and the best pizza on the island? Follow the locals to Salvatore’s, a rustic 'trattoria' in Phuket Town. Salvatore offers traditional Italian cuisine using only the finest fresh ingredients, such as linguini alla bottarga, sea bass in salt crust, gnocchi with fresh sausage and pizza baked in a wood-burning oven. Other specialties are created with local shellfish, like mouth-watering lobster ravioli and fettucini with crab. Start with the bruschetta, with delicately skinned tomatoes and fresh herbs and beef carpaccio with olive oil. The food is prepared under the careful eye of the Sardinian executive chef and owner, Salvatore Cossu, a fixture on Phuket’s restaurant scene for his cooking skills. He personally shops for the vegetables and fish in local markets. The bread is baked daily; the pastas and sausages are home-made.

Other delicacies include the Hong Kong Beef which is fried three times, the final in a sweet sauce, that is served moist and tender, and is a delight to the taste. The Szechuan Soup holds ham and a variety of vegetables while the Asparagus and the Fried Rice with ham and vegetables provide a tasty complement to the meal.

Ask him about daily food specials as well as wine suggestions. Salvatore offers about 60 labels, including Sardinian wines.

Divine dishes in a traditional Chinese setting with unsurpassed views make The Royal Kitchen a dining venue to savour.

The service is warm and the ambience is friendly. But the real star is the food. Open 12-14:00, 18-23:00 Closed Mondays | Tel: +66 (0)76 225958

Beautiful... no glorious jazz filling the few empty spaces. One of the most interesting collections of sepia black and whites remain true to this same time and place. When one is at The Siam Supper Club, one has to give up the mantle of tourist or visitor and for a brief time assume the rank of resident or... Phuketian. For when you're at The Siam Supper Club you are well and truly placed in a subtley lit and timbered comfort zone where a cocktail is still a cocktail damn it, the wines are big and the fabulous food reminds you of how things used to be.

Thai

Take a journey into the home of real Thai food! Patong Seafood Restaurant was the first seafood restaurant to open in the then village-like Patong. It has changed very little from those days except for a major refurbishment after the 2004 tsunami in which major damage was sustained.

Kantok Restaurant offers you a natural and warm ambiance where traditional healthy food is matched with fun and exciting traditional dance. “The Kantok” table was originally used by the northern households welcoming guests of importance into their homes.

The restaurant was rebuilt as it was in original Thai style with open dining area and a high circular design ceiling. Only the freshest seafood is brought straight from the boat and market to give you the finest selections, which are on display – chilled and ready to eat. The kitchens at Patong Seafood Restaurant are a place to behold, where their chefs with simply so many years of experience, prepare your seafood and other Thai delicacies to perfection.

Our Thai set menu is attentively prepared, beginning with our Thai appetizer platter which includes items which continue to be a rare delicacy these days due to the delicate mix of ingredients to create an old and unique taste. A sampling of our main event including green curry with chicken, Mussaman curry and our famed red duck curry is something not to be missed. End your distinct culinary experience with a local Thai dessert.

The first thing that you will notice are the friendly staff. The smiles, the attentiveness and the helpfulness in making your choice are something you will appreciate and you will then know why many visitors and locals come back time and time again to enjoy this real taste of Thailand.

Feature: La Boucherie Kids Party

La Boucherie

A total of 50 kids from Childwatch Phuket headed to La Boucherie Grill and Steakhouse at Royal Phawadee Village, Patong Beach, for the La Boucherie Kids Party on Thursday May 12. Claude de Crissey (pictured top right) said that he and his team made this party especially for them with the purpose to bring joy and cheer to the orphanage residents during this school holiday season. The party ran from 11:00am until 14:30pm and it was a real pleasure to watch these kids having so much fun, appreciating the small gifts and fun activities arranged for them. It was truly a humbling experience for the organiser of this event. Hearing the background stories of these kids brings tears to many people's eyes, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s amazing to see how they manage to smile and play like the happiest kids in the world.

Khun Zong and Khun Jit from Bozo Balloon lived up to the occasion with face painting, amazing balloon-making and games to entertain the kids. All the kids had a blast and enjoyed the Royal Phawadee Village Hotel's beautifully-shaped swimming pool as well as tasting the newly launched La Boucherieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Kids Menu.

Normally, the Helicam trips away involve many hours and sometimes days of driving to destinations around Thailand and even Malaysia. A recent trip to the Maldives changed the way our Helicam crew would normally operate. A lightweight and compact box is prepared to check-in onto a Bangkok Airways flight direct to Male, (the smallest capital city in the world). Helicam were contracted to achieve aerial marketing shots of the beautiful Resort.

Soneva Gili is a short 20 minute boat ride from Male, the capital of the Maldives. It is a tiny coral island in a sparkling lagoon, with jetties threading across the water out to spacious villas. Soneva Gili is managed by Six Senses Resorts & Spas, who have developed and operate unique properties in the Maldives, Oman, Thailand, Vietnam, Spain and Jordan under the brand names Soneva by Six Senses. Helicam achieved the required images by using the new Autonomous (Pilotless Machine), a machine that uses onboard avionics / GPS navigation to actually fly without a pilot. Now the Helicam camera operator can actually perform aerial photography single handed with pinpoint accuracy.

Lemongrass House To visit this home of award-winning spa oils, creams, soaps and so many other exquisite products is a delight. The aromas are enchanting. At Lemongrass, you can enjoy a spa treatment to sample and choose from their huge range, then take home your choice to enjoy at your leisure. They even have a great range of kid’s spa products.

Bobby Duchowny studied aromatherapy – a healing art that promotes massage, when combined with specific herb and spice oils, as a method to reduce stress, boost energy and heal certain physical ailments – at the American Aromatherapy Association. Some years ago while on holiday in Thailand, he visited an organic farm in Petchaboon province and became interested in the natural healing properties of Thai herbs and spices. “I was particularly attracted to lemon grass as it was used in many popular Thai foods, as a medicine for stomach disorders and even as a repellent for mosquitoes,” he recalls. Bobby used lemon grass as his signature herb to create a line of essential oils, face and body creams, shower gels and bath crystals, which he and his wife Palita sold at Bangkok’s world-famous Weekend Market. What started, several years ago, as a modest enterprise has blossomed into a successful operation offering over 90 oils and a wide range of body care products through many outlets, as well as supplying many of Thailand’s top resorts and spas with aromatherapy oils. “Our advantage is that we produce the freshest spa products and our stock is never kept longer than three months; using fresh spa products can be likened to eating fresh food rather than processed food.”

Based on his years of experiences at some of the top spas in Southeast Asia, Bobby has developed a full line of healthy skin care products. For example, his hydrating face and body creams have 25 per cent aloe vera, white orchid and cucumber extracts. And he’s developed a revitalizing mineral muscle soak made from Andaman Sea salt crystals, blended with white orchid and chamomile extracts, to help draw out impurities and soothe and revive tense muscles. “People are sensitive to different scents at different times of day. It’s a good idea to get a variety of essential oils and experiment with what smells and feels good to you,” he says. “Our aromatherapy massage and body oils can be either uplifting or calming to the spirit. They’re carefully balanced handblended oils created by adding pure essential oils to nourishing, vitamin E enriched, sweet almond and jojoba base oils. Lemongrass has won many awards, including Condé Nast Hot List 2007, and has been featured in several top magazines, including Time Magazine’s “Best of Asia”. According to Time, “If you want to smell like no one else, try mixing a selection from the more than 90 natural scents at Lemongrass House.” Lemongrass House is located in Cherngtalay, Surin Beach and Chalong, where you can buy their full range of spa products at modest prices, making perfect gifts for friends and family who can enjoy the aromatic scents of Asia in the privacy of their homes – no matter where in the world they live.

The Royal Spa and Health Club

Some treatments & packages at The Royal Spa

In the heart of bustling Phuket Town lies a quiet haven of heavenly peace. With the continuous sounds of water, trickling, bubbling and steaming, and with the sweet fruity scents that fill the air, the being is enticed into a flowing stillness of body and mind. The Royal Spa and Health Club is a popular tropical day spa with both locals and visitors alike, which is managed by the Royal Spa Development and Management Company. With an excellent reputation in the spa development industry through its experience and attention to detail, the Royal Spa and Health Club offers a distinctly personal experience. Of the signature treatments, the Royal Stone Therapy is one that is particularly interesting. The Hot Stone massage technique, founded 5000 years ago, uses black volcanic stones, which are heated and placed on the body, producing a profound effect, stilling the mind and easing the body. Unlike many of the high-end spa complexes on the island, which market themselves exclusively to tourists, the reasonable prices and relaxed but professional staff at the Royal Spa, means that many local Thais, as well as tourists, are beginning to use the spa. This has helped to erase the often stiff, and over-formal atmosphere at many of Phuket’s spa resorts, giving the Royal Spa an ambience of authentic relaxation and pleasure. All the therapists working at the Royal Spa have been trained at the in-house 'Phuket Spa Academy', established in 2004, to provide a comprehensive spa training course. The curriculum and assessments provide a measurement of therapist expertise and knowledge within the Thai spa industry. Since then, the Royal Spa Development and Management Company have provided comprehensive and professional spa management, and development programs, for spa retreats throughout Thailand. Their aim is to provide a standard of service and expertise throughout the Thai spa industry, to ensure a high quality of service and standard of treatment, throughout Thailand. It truly offers the ‘one stop services for Thai spa business’ and a quality of relaxed professionalism, rarely found in luxury spa resorts. Right now The Royal Spa have 12 branches that are managed in resorts in Patong, Kata, Karon, Panwa, Ao Chalong and Phuket Town and you are welcome to experience our spas with us anytime. As a special for our 8th year anniversary, we offer 'BUY ONE GET ONE FREE' value.
