About phuket346

In the 1930s, the corner building was Phuket’s first ice shop, and was so for
a few decades, before changing purpose to a Photo shop, which was vacated for
a couple of years, and left to a fairly dilapidated state till it took on a new lease of life as it is today. Care was given to maintain its original façade,
and certain features which had disappeared over the years were reconstructed,
as close to original as it could muster.

Whilst some internal features were kept, the interior was necessarily made anew due to the wood rotting away and feasted on by white ants… . Locally sourced hardwood floorboards were used to rebuild the second floor and the internal volume was amplified to create a spacious and airy feel. The interior is designed simply, without superfluous adornments or overly obvious Thai motifs that is in the decorative vocabulary of many a popular “ Thai “ setting. Instead, a contemporary, clean approach is applied, allowing the visitor to enjoy the space, and the location.
