Rolls-Royce has opened a new Boutique showroom on the resort island
of Phuket in Thailand. The facility was opened by Paul Harris, Asia
Pacific Regional Director for Rolls-Royce Motor Cars, at a grand
opening attended by customers, VIP guests, celebrities and members of
the media.
The 280 square metre showroom provides space for two Rolls-Royce
motor cars, an atelier style customer configuration area including
colour and trim samples, and a unique lounge area.
Speaking at the opening, Paul Harris said, “This is the third
Rolls-Royce showroom in Thailand, underlining yet again the resilience
of the country’s economy and appetite for super-luxury. We have
observed that Phuket is increasingly a home and resort destination for
a sizeable group of successful individuals from Thailand and other
countries. Phuket’s economic growth and development make it an
attractive location for us to have a presence. Rolls-Royce will be the
pinnacle brand in a burgeoning luxury sector on the island, with cars
like the stylish two door Wraith or the Dawn drophead, designed for a
more casual and social experience.”
The General Manager for Rolls-Royce Motor Cars Phuket,
Sunthornpan Dhechatech said, “The investment in our new Boutique
showroom has grown from our successful business partnership in
Thailand with Rolls-Royce Motor Cars. Working closely with the Asia
Pacific Regional Office, we are adopting a contemporary, luxury
lifestyle approach consistent with our customers’ way of life in
Phuket. The new showroom also serves as a regional focal point for
customers in nearby provinces.”
Bespoke is Rolls-Royce, Rolls-Royce is
Bespoke
Designed to aid customers in the creative
process of commissioning a Rolls-Royce motor car, the two-car Boutique
showroom allows customers to select from an unlimited choice of woods,
leathers or colour palette.
The Rolls-Royce Bespoke programme allows customers to
personalise their motor car to their exact and individual taste, from
a treadplate to headrests or more complex accessories such as a picnic
set or luggage that is designed for their exact needs. Customers have
been known to use wood from their own orchard or to specify their own
personal paints.
