Opening of Chatrium Phuket Rawai
Chatrium Phuket Rawai officially opened this week, adding a new expression of Thai hospitality to the Rawai coastline.

The lobby mimics a tranquil coral reef, while traditional Toei Panan weaving patterns appear throughout the interior, celebrating local culture. Guest rooms echo the changing colours of the Andaman sky, creating a refined residential atmosphere.

Dining is led by Executive Chef Yi‑Fan Chu, with the all‑day venue AuJaan and Lamoon Beach Lounge serving southern Thai flavours. A kid‑friendly Kalui Kid’s Corner & Bar offers playful refreshments.
