Bangkok – Best Western, The World’s Largest Hotel Chain®, has announced the September 2009 opening of Best Western Sawazdi Patong Hotel, Phuket, which will be the brand’s fourth resort in Phuket, one of Thailand’s premier tourist destinations.

The resort is conveniently located about 30 minutes’ drive from Phuket International Airport and neighbors the renowned Jungceylon mall and a lively entertainment area.

Set by the famous Patong beach, a modern Sino-Portuguese design property offers 146 fully-appointed deluxe rooms and promises an idyllic tropical seaside experience.

The resort’s swimming pool is complemented by a large sundeck & poolside bar. Dining options include the all-day coffee shop serving quality Western and Oriental cuisine accompanied by live music. BBQ seafood is offered in the evenings at the poolside terrace and Chinese cuisine is also available. The fully equipped fitness room is complemented by a sauna room, games room and snooker room.

Located on the West coast, Patong is Phuket’s original and most sophisticated tourist enclave, with a wide range of accommodation and activities within close proximity of a magnificent 3,000-meter crescent of picture-perfect beach. Swimming and other water activities are readily available plus excellent shopping and Phuket's liveliest night life.

“Phuket is recognized world-wide for its natural beauty and vibrancy,” noted Glenn de Souza, BWI Vice President International Operations – Asia. “We see many attractive opportunities for us to be here, especially in light of strong government support for tourism and more low-cost international carriers plus chartered flights extending their networks here,” the executive continued.
