The Society: Sansiri’s First Social Space in Phuket
Sponsored Page
Hidden off Lagoon Road near Bang Tao beach, The Society, Sansiri’s first social space in Phuket, redefines the island’s social scene with its seamless blend of art, cuisine, and community. Having explored many of Phuket’s vibrant spots, I can tell you—this one stands out.
A Space That Tells Stories
Stepping into The Society, visitors can stroll around and marvel at the harmonious interplay of architecture, light, and space, crafted by the renowned Edward Tuttle’s team of designers, the visionary architect behind the world-famous Aman resorts. The use of wood and warm earth tones evoke the warm feeling of visiting a friend’s home, while natural light permeates through the windows, enhancing the inviting atmosphere. Completing the thoughtfully curated aesthetic, statement pieces like the Cocoon by Louis Vuitton and Mario Bellini’s signature Lounge Chair Paire De Fauteuils add a sophisticated, artistic touch.
Two Culinary Stars Under One Roof
The Society houses two dining spots we think you’ll love. One is BEANS Coffee Roaster, an eco-friendly gem from Bangkok. Known for its dedication to quality, BEANS sources coffee beans both locally in Thailand and from around the world, offering a flavor journey that ranges from the bright, fruity notes of Ethiopian beans to the rich, chocolatey tones of South American varieties.
More than just a coffee shop, BEANS invites visitors to craft their own blends and enjoy every sip in a welcoming, stylish setting. A must-try? Their Pineapple Splash—a tropical burst of refreshment that perfectly embodies the island vibe. Open daily from 7 AM to 7 PM, it’s the perfect spot to kickstart or wind down your day.
For casual lunches or romantic dinners, foodies seeking authentic Spanish cuisine will enjoy dining at VAMOS. The tapas restaurant is helmed by chef Rene whose culinary experience spans over 30 years, honing his craft in America and Hong Kong. Guests will be impressed with his commitment to using sustainable and local ingredients in Spanish recipes. A recommended signature dish here is the Paella Surf & Turf, a rich combination of bomba rice, saffron, lobster, clams, chicken, chorizo, and shrimp. VAMOS is open from 7 AM to Midnight daily.
A Space for Everyone
The Society provides the perfect location for work and leisure. Private meeting rooms can accommodate digital nomads so they can work productively. Outside, they can take a break at a lush garden zone connecting two main buildings. More than just a relaxation spot, the space can be transformed into a venue for cultural events and art exhibitions. Lastly, visitors can browse a gallery showcasing Sansiri’s premium developments – The Tales and Canvas Condominiums.
With pet-friendly spaces and 16 parking spots make every visit to The Society convenient, whether you are coming for a coffee, a tapas meal, or various events throughout the year.
The Phuket Pulse: A Celebration of Island Culture with Sport and Art
From now until December 30, The Society will transform into an artistic playground with “The Phuket Pulse,” a captivating art installation that brings together art, sports, and local culture in a vibrant, creative space. This unique experience invites sports enthusiasts and art lovers to immerse themselves in recreational arts that inspire connection and exploration like never before.
Highlights of the installation include:
- Surfboards that pays homage to Phuket’s unique Sino-European architecture
- Sailboats adorned with Baba Yaya fabric art, celebrating the island’s Peranakan heritage
- A beach volleyball court constructed from upcycled ocean waste and fishing nets, showing how art can emerge from sustainability
- Kite surf created with local patterns is strikingly displayed on The Society’s roof
Plan your visit to The Society! Whether you’re seeking relaxation, creativity, or productivity, The Society has something for everyone.
