The Chalet Panwa  

On Phuket’s southeastern edge in Wichit, right by the sea and minutes from Cape Panwa Viewpoint, Phuket Aquarium and Panwa Beach. The Chalet Panwa sits about 7 km from Phuket city center and close to Khao Khad Views Tower, Phuket Zoo and Chalong Pier.

A small, easygoing hotel ideal for unwinding after a busy day — think simple, comfortable rooms with air conditioning, refrigerators or mini-bars, TVs, in-room safes, coffee/tea makers and en-suite showers. Staff speak English, there’s an elevator for access, and the front desk operates on limited hours.

Take a dip in the pool, book a treatment in the massage room, or sip at the on-site bar. Complimentary Wi-Fi, on-site parking, tour assistance, laundry and a safe-deposit service round out the practical perks — and you can wake up to sea-breeze mornings.

Complimentary wireless internet and concierge/tour/ticket assistance are available. Free self-parking onsite; note the front desk has limited hours.

An on-site restaurant serves local flavors and there’s a bar for relaxed evenings. Rooms also include coffee and tea makers for grab-and-go mornings.
