01:56
Savoey Seafood Restaurant, established in November 1980 in Patong Beach Phuket. Is under the S.T.P.Group Co.,Ltd, which is owned and operated by Mr.Thaveesakdi Phucharoen and partneers. The restaurant is firstly positioned as casual dining restaurant. Featuring Thai, Seafood and Chinese dishes.
Flash back to 1 November 1980, Savoey Seafood opened with 100 seats and a 50 member staff. We operated a seafood kitchen in front of the restaurant (this layout has not been distorted since the opening), and we have two other cuisines which are Chinese and international foods cuisines.
In 1984 Savoey expended to Bangla road, increased to 600 seats and started with Thai dancing and culturre performance every night.
savoey Seafood is considered as one of the landmarks of Patong Beach and we have been considered by our customer as one of the leading Phuket's seafood restaurants.
This acknowledgement is not only the result of our fresh food, competitive prices but also the great taste of our food.
On 26 December 2004, the tsunami disaster significantly destroyed the main restaurant. Fortunately there were no number of casualties, this was due to the staffs effort of helping each other.
Mr.Thaveesakdi and his staffa (about 135 members during that time) renovated Savoey and Safari Beach hotel, starting the first days after Tsunami without electric and no water supply. Mr.Thaveesakdi used the power generator from his friend (free of charge) and water from artesian wells. We were compensated by the insurance company of 2 million Baht, which was incomparable to our loss. Our boss had just one direction "None of our employees should be layoff", we paid full amout of their salary.
It was onlu 10 days after that Savoey re-opened on 5 January 2005 in darkness (no electricity) and among tsunami remnants. With only 30% facilities and equipment ready, we were the first on beach road to run a business. Savoey just wanted to express our people's merit to the public that we were still here and ready to welcome the tourists back, in order to recover Patong's tourism industry.
After the disaster we opened Beach way Coffee shop in 8 September 2005 and Concaved Rest. in 1 Octorber 2005. And in the yeat 2007 our company expanded our serving outlet to the beach unit as Beach house which is designed to support customer from Savoey Seafood.
Currently we have 215 staffs and operate a new 5 star hotel named "Laflora Patong"
