From RM 390 to RM 1,100 per night inclusive breakfast
EVERY MALAYSIAN WHO HAS STAYED AT THE KEE RESORT IN PHUKET ASSUMES I AM THE OWNER SINCE ONLY I, KEE HUA CHEE, WOULD HAVE THE STYLE, BRAINS, VISION AND COURAGE TO NAME A HOTEL AFTER ME, I, MYSELF AND MINE.
In addition, the logo of The Kee Resort is a thumbprint which is unique to every human and Kee's thumbprint of course is even more one of a kind!
Some guests checking in even asked if I was around so they could say hello and congratulate me on a spectacular job in creating such a masterpiece! The more practical and proletariat even asked for discounts as they claim to be my bosom buddies!
Much as I love having such a stunning resort named after me since I am world famous and admired even (and especially some might say) by aliens residing on other planets, I must admit The Kee Resort is named after its owner who was not even a Kee but a Gee! Oh gee!
Read on!
Legend of The
Kee
An endearing success story from humble
beginnings
The KEE Resort
& Spa was named after the owner of the land where the resort now stands.
Descended from the Tan clan in Bae Yong, China, Ama "Siu Gee" was the
first daughter of Hokkien emigrants to Thailand Mr. Tan Lai Tee and Mrs. Oun Ar
Liab.
Born on the 14th
of February, 1937, Ama Siu Gee – formally known as Mrs Jumroonsri Somnam – was
raised as a humble Buddhist. She passed away at age 74 on the 22nd of June,
2010, while The KEE Resort & Spa was still under construction.

Stunning or what
The glasses at The Kee are bent! How,er, appropriate
Ama Siu Gee was a
star student in her early years, achieving outstanding grades, but her life was
one of hardship from a very young age. Her education cut short when she was
just nine years old.
As the eldest of
13 siblings, Ama Siu Gee gracefully sacraficed her own promising education in
order to earn money so she could support her younger brothers and sisters
through schooling, each of whom went on to complete higher education.
Ama Siu Gee worked
hard day and night for many years, selling fresh fish and pork until she had
saved enough money to buy some land, including the prosperous plot where the
KEE Resort & Spa now stands.
As a teenager,
another of Ama Siu Gee's assets was her natural beauty, which won her second
place in a Miss Songkran beauty pagaent. Thereafter she became a prominent
member of the community, and later married the love of her life, 'Akong Saweg'.
The pair were an
admirable couple, who raised four exceptional children. Ama Siu Gee was
especially admired and respected by family members for her easy-going nature
and self confidence – and for her willingness to sacrafice her own pleasures
for the sake of others, while she strived to save for the future, penny by
penny.
Despite her
thrifty nature, Ama Siu Gee was well known in the community for her generosity.
She sponsored many social events in her lifetime and was once awarded
"Mother of the Year".
Understanding the
importance of good education, Ama Siu Gee supported all of her grandchildren's
schooling. In return, she expected each of them to do their very best and gain
as much knowledge as they could, enabling them to manage the family business
and make a contribution to its continued success.
Ama Siu Gee was
inspired to enter the hospitality industry and build a locally-owned resort in
Patong as Phuket continued to grow into an international destination filling up
with foreign-owned properties.
Thus, The KEE
Resort & Spa was born, the resort's name adapted from "Gee" to
"KEE" for easier pronunciaton.
The fingerprint logo of the KEE Resort
& Spa is actually the right thumbprint of the late Ama Siu Gee, the same as
her 'signature' on the land ownership documents for the 11 rai (17,600sqm) on
which resort was built.
Ama Siu Gee's
thumbprint also serves as a fond reminder to her descendants of the roots of
their present day legacy, and how her generosity, patience and persistence
paved the way for them into a fortunate future.
