The Bailli of Phuket, Kwanchai Aswawongsonti, is a seasoned lawyer, businessman and hotelier with extensive experience in legal and tax advisory services.

His journey as a hotelier began at the age of 20, working with the Accord Group in Koh Samui, Club Med Phuket, and Club Med I in the Mediterranean. After Kwanchai launched his legal career with one of the “Big 4” audit firms and several “Magic Circle” law firms based in London, he became heavily involved in advising many hotel and resort developers on structuring their projects.

This experience culminated in the founding of Kata Rocks, a five-star resort in Phuket that has gained worldwide recognition. Over the past 10 years, the resort has been successfully managed. Combining Kwanchai’s legal and business expertise in property development and hospitality management an unparalleled luxury experience has been created. His leadership in the hospitality industry extends to his role as the Executive Director of Kata Rocks and Infinite Luxury. Kwanchai continues to oversee and innovate in overall hotel developments with passion, in food and beverage management within the luxury sector.

As Bailli of Phuket, for Kwanchai the Chaîne des Rôtisseurs represents more than an association of gastronomes. He sees it as a global community dedicated to the appreciation of fine dining, camaraderie, and the preservation of culinary traditions.

Kwanchai’s vision for the Bailliage of Phuket is to continue fostering this community spirit whilst introducing members to new, exciting venues across Phuket and nearby provinces. By collaborating closely with local cloud kitchen catering teams and the world-famous chefs Phuket has to offer, he aims to create unique dining experiences in places yet to be explored by members of the Bailliage of Phuket. A fresh dimension will be introduced to the Bailliage’s gatherings.

The Bailliage of Phuket strives to be a beacon of excellence, not only in dining experiences but also in its commitment to social responsibility, particularly through the foundation which sponsors young chefs in Thailand.

Ed. Phuket, sitting on the Andaman Sea in southern Thailand, is the country’s biggest island. Being a large Island, Phuket is surrounded by many magnificent beaches. Of note is the Laem Phromthep viewing spot which is said to feature the most beautiful sunsets in Thailand. It isn’t all just beaches though, there is also fantastic classical architecture. Add in a very welcoming atmosphere and the famous Phuket nightlife, you can see why the island is a hotspot for visitors. Especially so as getting there is easy in view of the many travel options.
