Lobby & Restaurant ConceptIn the mid 1980s, Phuket Shopping Centre was established as the first shopping mall with an escalator in Phuket. Ratsada Road and the entrance leading into our hotel premises as you see today was a bustling and lively market square of which many locals still have fond memories of today. We have captured some of these moments per our history wall displayed in the lobby.
There are a plethora of memorable moments that happened within these walls. Such as the time where they held an impossibly cheap sale whereby all items in the shopping centre were on sale for the mere price of 1 THB. This of course caused somewhat of a riot with police getting involved and thus banning such sales in the future. Another fond memory was that of special payment plans that allowed people to buy goods such as LEVI denim jeans or ‘Scholl shoes’ with instalments. There were even several parades and festivals like the annual Phuket Seafood festival which was held here during that time.
However, one of the most significant stories is of one we have illustrated in the artwork displayed in the hotel restaurant.
With the Shopping mall being the first on the island to have an escalator, many flocked to the mall to experience this wonderful and at the time very modern technology. The owner of the shopping mall at the time retells one particular encounter. In Thailand, the term to call older, middle-aged women would be ‘auntie’ - of which in Phuket, the localised term would be “Ah Ii”. During the first few days of the mall opening, the owner noticed one auntie who had taken off her shoes and was standing hesitantly in front of the escalator, whilst staring at the moving stairs. Puzzled, the owner greeted her and asked:
“Auntie, what’s wrong? What are you waiting for?”.
The woman smiled and pointed at the escalator,
“I’m waiting for the stairs to stop, so I can get on!”.
This is still a fond memory for the owner till this day.
In our hotel restaurant, one of the supporting pillars for the original escalator in the shopping mall still remains. As such, we have decided to pay tribute to the story by illustrating the Auntie who waited for the escalator stairs to stop for her.
The first Tamnanthai (�Thai Legend�) restaurant was opened in 1991 by Chai and Supa Yanyonglert on Soi Ladprao 71. It was in a very traditional Thai style wooden house, with ornate decorations. Tamnanthai serves authentic Thai food. Supa has been learning how to cook since she was very young from her parents and her mom�s relatives who were talented cooks. She used to take a cooking class in a five-star hotel in Bangkok as well. Overall, she can be described as an enthusiastic epicurean. Tamnanthai dishes feature fresh and high quality ingredients. We value cleanliness in every step of the cooking process.
All sauces are made daily with savory ingredients from Tamnanthai exceptional recipes. Our consistency in high-quality food and service has allowed us to stay in business for over 21 years, with the majority of our customers visiting more than once.
The second branch was opened in 1997 at Ploenchit Center Building on Soi Sukumvit 2. This branch targets the tourists and business people around Bangkok�s main business district. The third branch was expanded to the Times Square Building in 2001. In 2004, the fourth and fifth Tamnanthai branches were opened at Food Wave - Royal Garden Plaza Pattaya next to Pattaya Marriott Resort and Spa and Royal Garden Plaza Bangkok on Charoennakorn Road.
