Cafe Kantary and Alex Face


Cape+Kantary is a magazine that you will find in all the Cape and Kantary Properties. In every edition, there is always an article that we like to share on Social Media. In this edition (Pages 44-47) one writer visited and met Alex Face - the Man behind the Rabbit – a conversation with Alex Face

Alex Face is a popular Thai Street Artist whose canvas is what is around us - the city and the country side. His signature is the bunny in a number of different poses. In the interview, we read that “The face in all of my artwork is my daughter as a baby.”

If you are visiting Thailand you will see Alex’s work in a number of different places but more are now seen around the world - follow him on Instagram.

Here is a map of some Street Art (including some of Alex’s) if you are visiting Phuket - .

Visit us at Café Kantary in Prachiniburi and see what Alex painted on the walls.

Phuket - Jesinta and Buddy


Jesinta and Buddy (a famous Australian couple) took a trip to Thailand to celebrate their first wedding anniversary recently. One of the hotels that they chose to stay in was us at Cape Panwa Hotel - where they shared cocktails round the pool, took photographs from the balcony and enjoyed themselves on the beach.
