Setthaphol Boottho, MontAzure Associate Director Project Management, said the program was initiated because MontAzure was part of the Kamala community and wanted to support its development in a positive manner and improve the standard of living there.

Setthaphol said it was the start of MontAzure’s engagement commitment to local students. The first grants total Bt21,000 and cover 17 students at Rajaprajanugroh School.

“We understand children are the bedrock and the future of any society,” he said. “They’re the leaders of tomorrow who will eventually be entrusted with nurturing their communities. We feel privileged to be in a position where we can support the children of Kamala through an educational leg-up and increased environmental awareness, and hopefully these scholarships will eventually benefit all the children there and the entire community, for that matter,” he said.

He added that MontAzure was supporting a beach-cleaning program that involved students, highlighting the importance of caring for the environment – “how it effects their lives and the importance of devoting their spare time to generate a positive outcome”.

Addressing the school’s students, Headmaster Warisara Wongmusik said, “As you can see, once we take our studying seriously and concentrate on our education, people always see our good intentions and give us support. We are grateful to MontAzure and give them much thanks.”

MontAzure has teamed with cutting-edge hospitality company Twinpalms to launch Twinpalms Residences MontAzure on one of the last direct beachfront sites on Phuket’s West Coast.

Twinpalms Residences MontAzure will comprise 75 luxury condominiums and boast 100 metres of absolute beach frontage. Located between Millionaire’s Mile and the Amanpuri headland, it will be operated and managed by Twinpalms upon completion towards the end of 2017.
