Share your photographs

Photographs are for keeping your memories and sharing with other people.

We try to organise all the photographs that you give us into a 'photobucket'. Our Cape Panwa Photobucket is divided into a plethora of different folders.  At the time of writing there were 75 folders with a total of 2,345 photographs.

There are some great photo archive sites where your photograph is linked to a map that can tell you where the photographs were taken. 

There are also entire websites devoted to photographs of Phuket.

So why don't you join one of them to share your photographs with family, friends or like minded mates across the world.

A common mistake that a lot of our visitors tell us is made is that they are taken to the wrong Cape Panwa Hotel – well there is only one Cape Panwa Hotel – but the drivers still make mistakes.

There are 2 hotels close to us, one is called the Sri Panwa Hotel and the other is the Bel-Air Panwa and  there are more hotels being built.

How can you make sure that you get to the right place? Well you can always take a piece of paper with the words "Cape Panwa" written in Thai OR simply tell the driver that Cape Panwa is the Original – a word that Thai market sellers in Patong understand.

Cape Panwa was built in 1987 in a much sought after place in Phuket.  There is a beautiful beach that is closed off on one side by a jetty and on the other by rocks - private, peaceful and perfect.

Then there is a magnificent Sino-Portuguese building called Panwa House on the edge of the sand – perfect for evening dining and traditional Thai food – an original structure and in a perfect setting.

If you need to come here just ask for the Original Hotel at Cape Panwa – this is us.

Thailand knows how to party

What springs to people's mind when they hear this are the full-moon parties highly popular with the young European tourists 

Last week in Phuket, the staff at Cape Panwa and Kantary Bay had their staff party. It kicked off with a week of football at the local school (Aonamboor) where the staff were able to show their true prowess – Phuket FC here we come…

Then there was the Raffle where every staff had a ticket and everyone won a prize – from rice cookers to a wide-screen television.

The next day was the Staff Sports Day that started off with a jog from the local village – specifically, from one of the tops of the many hills. 

Then the 'mardi gras' came to Cape Panwa – noise, singing, chanting, costumes, food and dancing! The staff enthusiastically participated in several competitions of takraw, volleyball and 'who's wearing the most outlandish costume'.

On the last evening a more traditional party was held in Phuket Town.  It, of course, involved more singing, dancing, noise and food – one week later they are still sharing their stories and photographs…
