FAQ Phang Nga
Welcome to Thaweesuk – the heritage of Phang Nga town.
This house is the first cement building in Phang Nga old
town. It was built over one hundred years ago with Sino-European architecture
and once was the biggest grocery store in town during the tin mining boom. The back of the house has been hotel for
almost 70 years. It was left unmaintained for a long while until 5 years ago,
we – the third generation of the family – decided to renovate entire property.
We want to preserve its elegance, reveal the legacy of the old days, and let
visitors experience the genuine Phang Nga heritage and hospitalities. We know you have many questions, let see how
we can make your stay as memorable as possible.
