24 Phuket businesses receive Rising Brand awards
Three businesses received Legendary Brand awards and 21 others were recognised under the Phuket Rising Brand 2026 programme.
Phuket Governor Chotinrin Kerdsom presented Rising Brand awards to 24 local businesses at Dibuka Café & Restaurant last week, as the province promoted branding, innovation and technology as drivers of its “new economy”.
Mee Ton Pho, Saeng Damrong and Amorn Phuket Pearl received the Legendary Brand awards. The 21 businesses recognised as Phuket Rising Brand 2026 recipients were Khun Mae Joo, The SIS Kata Resort, Cafe Delight, Katathani Phuket Beach Resort, Phuket City Development Co Ltd (PKCD), Kin Kub Yee, Tu Kub Khao, WeCafe Salad & Coffee, Campus Coffee Roasters, Drop Espresso, Wan Fang, Amatara Wellness Resort, Phumontra Cafe & Massage, Salon24 Phuket, Baba Phuket, Phuket Old Town Community, Baan Chinpracha, Phuket Art Village, Anfield Cafe, Dibuk House and Sally.
Chotinrin said Phuket’s local identity and resources provided a strong foundation, but businesses needed to build on them through creativity, digital technology, artificial intelligence and innovation. He said stronger branding could increase the value of local products and services and improve the competitiveness of Thai entrepreneurs.
The governor said the programme also gave entrepreneurs a place to exchange knowledge, share experiences and develop networks. According to the Phuket Provincial Public Relations Office, the Phuket Rising Brand programme has operated since 2018 and supported more than 100 local brands.
