Luang Amnart Nararak Mansion

Heritage Mansion – Phuket Town

Luang Amnart Nararak Mansion is a fantastic large house currently used by a ‘gas tank delivery’ company. It is found at the Dibuk Road and Satun Road intersection.

Luang Amnat Nararak’s Mansion was built around 1925-1926. This grand mansion showcases an extravagant use of frescoes, a typical feature of Sino-Portuguese architecture. The Chinese believe that bats symbolize good fortune and longevity, which is why bats are a recurring motif in the mansion’s decoration. The mansion has undergone several renovations, the most recent being in 1957, but the main structure remains unchanged. This two-storey mansion features a front porch adjoining the driveway, and its polygonal side wings include small balconies.
