Sculptures and installations of
boats adorn the lobby, including
vessels that appear to be
“floating” on the surface of the
lobby’s floor.
Other nods to the sea­faring
theme include big white ceramic
vases, fashioned to look like they
are festooned in barnacles,
paintings of the ocean, and
miniature wooden boats for sale
at The Gallery. It is a not­for­profit
social enterprise designed to help
improve the lives of Thai
communities by selling
accessories and home décor
items made by talented Thai
designers and artists.
“We commissioned artists who
created sculptures, installations,
paintings and more that provide
captivating interpretations of a
way of life that sustained many in
Thailand for centuries, that come
together here at the resort to
help tell our boat story,” said Mr
Osuna. An educational display in
the lobby, comprising miniature
boats in glass displays and a wallmounted
timber map of the Gulf
of Thailand, outlines the history
of the refurbished vessels for
guests who are curious to know
more about this boat story.
