“A home reflecting the simple and humble lifestyle of a former national leader, surrounded by greenery and known for its welcoming atmosphere.”
The Chuan Leekpai Residence, locally known as "Ban Mae Thuan," serves as his main home when he returns to Trang. The two-story half-concrete half-wood house is not luxurious, but warm and inviting, with a grounded character that represents his lifestyle.
The spacious grounds are filled with large, shady trees, giving the area a peaceful and relaxing atmosphere. The home symbolizes Mr. Chuan’s down-to-earth personality, as its gate is often left open for locals to drop by, greet him, or simply look around.
Over time, the residence has become both a historical point of interest and an informal political learning site in Trang. Visitors come to observe the simple living environment of a national leader known for modesty and dedication, while appreciating the strong bond between Mr. Chuan and the local community.
