Indigo Pearl presents a treasure-trove of backdrops and ideas for photographers. Complemented by luxurious style, the resort evokes Phuket’s tin mining industry, incorporating unique furnishings and art pieces inspired by industrial relics.
The Tongkah Tin Syndicate is a veritable ‘Aladdin’s Cave’ of mining memorabilia – including the darts scoreboards, made from old tin production report boards, mining tools and corrugated iron sheets.
Uniforms and resort names similarly pay tribute to tin mining. The Captain Miles Suite is named after Australian Edward Thomas Miles, who sailed the first dredger to Phuket in 1909, allowing the tin mining industry to expand into untouched areas.
The concept of ‘’found industrial art” was implemented by renowned international architect and interior designer Bill Bensley, in collaboration with Australian John Underwood, a resident Phuket artist.
“We see great value in engaging in a two-way discussion with our guests and fans. We feel our social media platform is an area where fans can share their stories with us, and also with other like-minded individuals who share a common interest about Thailand, Phuket and the Indigo Pearl. Our intention is to create massive value and engage with our online community in a much more significant way.” says David Ippersiel, Executive Assistant Manager, Sales & Marketing; Indigo Pearl Resort.
* The competition is open to anyone aged 18 or over except Indigo Pearl employees, travel agents or media.
