Welcome back Pavinee


Thank you to Dave for the photograph and we are sorry that we did not receive it in time for the Otter's News as we promised. This means that we have published it in our blog but thanks to Sam for writing it.

Recently, Pavinee returned to Cape Panwa. Pavinee had been working on a sister property – the Kantary Hills in Chiang Mai.

We all missed having her take care of the guests...

So what did she do on her return? She turned into a tigress in a cage! Then for New Year’ Eve she literally let her hair down!

But ‘Indiana’ Rochidee was clearly in charge with his whip… Kinky stuff!

Please send us your photographs of the staff to the am@capepanwa.com and we will post them for you.

Au Revoir Bobby - a tribute

Some of you may remember Bobby the Otter from your visits to the Cape Panwa Hotel as our much loved but unexpected guest. He stayed at the Cape Panwa Hotel for 15 years, occasionally going to Coral Island for a couple of days but always returning, either by boat or swimming.

Bobby would dive into the swimming pool and swim circles around surprised swimmers. Either Bobby or the guest would leap out of the water and shake themselves dry before wandering off.

We now have some photographs of Bobby (thanks Chris and Dad) and here is a list of the winners from our newsletter.

Chris Kenyon, Gladys Stephenson, Joan Tinkler and Ian McAleese.

If you have any more photographs of Bobby please send them to us at am@capepanwa.com.

Life's a beach!


My heart was racing and my palms were sweating - I found the photograph!....it was 'missing in action' on the computer under an alias of DSC13344.JPG.

I had wanted to post this before but I 'mislaid' the photograph .... my apologies for the late posting of this.

On a normal day at work I was asked to visit the beach to meet a group of Championship Roller skaters.  I smiled and wondered who roller-skated in this day and age of Virtual Skiing!!!  I said thank you to the guest for taking the trouble to inform me of this photo opportunity - now I owe you a beer.

Imagine my surprise when the Roller Skating Champions were champions!

Where do you look?  I was sweating (it was a hot day) - but the camera lense steamed up, where do you look and what else can I add? 

They were the Precision Rollerskating Team from Albenia (Italy).

Table decorations with a difference!


One of the most popular (believe it or not) activities that we have for the guests here at Cape Panwa is teaching the exquisite (and almost lost) art of napkin folding.

 A napkin is not simply something to put on the table – it can be an expression of your emotions, your personality or simply the food that you are eating. Once a hugely popular, the art of napkin folding is practiced much more rarely these days.

It's a shame because its actually a lot of fun! Natasha Eichaker and her family had a go at it whilst staying with us and enjoyed it immensely. Come and have a go!

Oh, and I believe that they can do the same with the towels in your room - watch this space!

Happy Birthday in February - Krittaya


This month is Krittaya’s (Om's) birthday.  In Thailand children are given a long name and a short name  -  Om means embrace in Thai.

Her talents soon began to shine – the meeting group bookings began to run “as smooth as silk” – can I say that here?

The Weddings became very personal and very unique – we now have a part of the beach that we recognise as Khun Om’s corner.

The decorations around the hotel, posters, ideas and concepts began to feel very special. 

Happy birthday Krittaya and thank you for all the things that you give to us at the Cape Panwa Hotel. 


Please send us your photograph of the staff at Cape Panwa Hotel to am@capepanwa.com and we will post them.
