The Society is a new social space developed by Sansiri, a leading Thai real estate developer, and is located near Bang Tao Beach in the fashionable Cherngtalay area of Phuket. Launched in late 2024, this venue embodies the ‘CONNECT + INSPIRE’ concept, aiming to foster community engagement and cultural exchange by seamlessly blending art, cuisine, and social interaction.
Features of The Society:
• Dining Options: The venue offers a variety of culinary experiences, including BEANS Coffee Roaster, a specialty coffee shop focusing on eco-friendly practices and high-quality local and international beans, and Vamos Spanish Tapas Bar, serving authentic Spanish cuisine, including the decadent Paella Surf & Turf.
• Co-Sharing Spaces: Designed to cater to professionals and creatives, The Society provides co-working areas, private meeting rooms, and a podcast studio, facilitating both work and collaboration.
• Art and Cultural Exhibitions: The space hosts art displays and cultural events throughout the year, showcasing local and international artists and fostering a vibrant cultural scene.
• Sales Gallery: Serving as a sales gallery for Sansiri’s latest projects, including CANVAS Cherngtalay, a condominium development, and THE TALES STORY ONE – BANG JO, a luxury pool villa project.
Look out for rare artworks in the chicly designed meeting areas. For example, the bright red hanging chair, Cocoon by Louis Vuitton, a one-of-a-kind creation by Fernando and Humberto Campana for Louis Vuitton’s Objets Nomades Collection, this suspended chair is lined with calfskin, smooth on the exterior side and quilted on the inside.
With its diverse amenities and focus on community building, The Society has become a notable destination in Phuket for both locals and visitors seeking a blend of lifestyle, culture, and social engagement.
