Location
|
| |
|
|
Tassana Pra -
meaning "House facing towards the Buddha" - is an authentic teakwood
villa, and has become a symbol of Thai elegance on the island of Samui
and beyond |
| |
|
|
 |
|
 |
| |
|
|
The villa
was constructed following the traditional house-building techniques of
Ayuthaya, the ancient capital of Siam. Tassana Pra occupies a
spectacular location atop a hillside and enjoys unsurpassed views across
Samui's northeastern coastline and the straits beyond to the distant
outer islands. In the middle foreground is the famous Big Buddha Temple,
the inspiration for the villa's name |
| |
|
|
 |
|
 |

|
|
Tassana
Pra has been specifically designed by the owner to be one of his
principal homes for most of the year and not just a villa rental. Many
antiques and decorative items have therefore been carefully selected to
make the villa a unique and symbolic place to stay and rest, both for
the owner and for privileged guests.
The
imposing entrance gate and long stone driveway lead down to the villa
through some of the 4,800 sq. m. of lush private gardens that are home
to ponds, streams, waterfalls, and a multitude of tropical plants, trees
and flowers |
| |
|
|
 |
|
 |
| |
|
|
The first
and largest of the five connected pavilions that compose the villa has a
soaring Thai roof supported by 16 antique wood columns, and is reached
via an ornate covered walkway bridge across a lily pond. This is the
sumptuous living and dining area, which opens out onto a large covered
terrace, ideal for casual dining and entertainment, and offering
spectacular and unobstructed 180-degree views of the mountains, the sea,
the coastline, and the Big Buddha Temple, in addition to the swimming
pool |
| |
|
|
 |
|
 |
| |
|
|
The four
other pavilions are located at each corner of the villa and are all
accessed from the living room. Three of them host luxurious bedrooms
(two doubles and one twin) complete with four-posted beds, and combining
traditional Thai style with modern western comforts and facilities (air
conditioning, en-suite bathrooms with bathtub and separate shower). The
master bedroom has its own spacious dressing room, views of the ocean,
and its bathroom contains a Jacuzzi. Each room features carved panels,
doors and genuine antique furniture either from Thailand or Burma and
made of solid teak, while the fabrics are of finest Thai silk and
cotton. The fourth pavilion contains the private study of the owner (not
accessible) and a guest bathroom |
| |
|
|
 |
|
 |
| |
|
|
On the
ground level there is a fourth bedroom (double) with a more modern decor
and en-suite facilities, ideal for children or younger members of the
party. The ground floor also contains the fully equipped modern kitchen,
as well as the hidden staff quarters and laundry |
| |
|
|
 |
|
 |
| |
|
|
Guests
can access the swimming pool and front garden either from the upstairs
terrace or the covered patio on the ground floor, while sun beds are
arranged around the pool deck |
| |
|
|
 |
|
 |
| |
|
|
For those
concerned about discretion and privacy, Tassana Pra is equipped with
state of the art electrical and security systems, a back-up generator
and efficient water storage facilities. The villa is fully staffed by a
team of four who will discreetly carry out their duties and remain at
guests' service for their every need. The Villa Manageress is also a
renowned Thai chef, and will be delighted to prepare the most impressive
selection of tastes for those wishing to discover the culinary culture
of Thailand |

|
|
From the
Guests point of view it is difficult to impartially give justice to the
villa . However, all would agree that a stay at Tassana Pra will awaken
numerous senses; the unique aroma of aged teak upon entering the main
pavilion, the soothing sound of water from the fountains, streams and
waterfalls surrounding the entire villa, all contribute to an
overwhelming feeling of tranquility, which will be enhanced throughout
the stay by the discovery of a multitude of decorative details |
