About this property

Glasshouse Phuket | 6B villa | Short walk to 2 beaches | Sea view | Accessible

As The White Lotus brings the luxury and intrigue of a Thai getaway to life on screen, the Glasshouse Phuket offers a stunning real-life escape with breathtaking views, private tropical gardens, and two tranquil beaches just a short walk away. Experience your own slice of paradise, perfect for creating unforgettable moments.

The Glasshouse is the perfect secluded setting for a relaxed and private vacation with family & friends. Nestled into the jungle hillside in the south of Phuket and set in an area of 1,140sqm, this modern 6-bedroom house provides some of the best sea-views available in Phuket.

The infinity pool is the centrepiece of the Glasshouse experience and the whole villa is designed for sharing quality experiences and creating lasting memories. Whether you're watching the sunset from the living room or one of our three balconies, relaxing in the shade of the Thai sala or sharing a drink at the bar table, your time at the Glasshouse will be full of special moments.

Located on a small peninsular, the villa is just a few minutes walk from two beautiful unspoiled beaches. Ao Yon beach (east-facing) and Khao Khad beach (west-facing).are both in sheltered bays so, with no rip tides, they're suitable for swimming all year round.

The house is set among landscaped tropical gardens connected by stone pathways and dotted with several terraced areas. The 10m infinity pool is at the heart of the Glasshouse experience and includes a jacuzzi for the ultimate indulgence, day or night.

Loungers on the pool side are perfect for soaking up the sun or move to the Thai style sala with it's sofas and coffee table for some shade. The sala has its own speakers so that you can enjoy chill out music by the pool or perhaps something more lively with cocktails as you watch the sun set across the bay. Outside seating includes; 8 poolside loungers, sofa for 6 in the sala, 4 bar stools.

Partially remodelled in 2024, the spacious open planned living space with panoramic views of Chalong bay spans the entire width of the property and opens directly on to the pool terrace and sala. It includes a dining area with seating for 16 for formal dining, a TV den (75" TV with sound system and a selection of board games for adults & kids) and a triple height sitting area with its own hifi quality sound system. The open design merges with the pool terrace making it ideal for informal, al fresco eating, entertaining or just relaxing. The living space extends upstairs where we have a full-sized table tennis table, an office desk with swivel chair in case you have to work and an outside balcony with a circular day bed. Perfect for meditation, reading or another space for the kids to play. Keep healthy with our yoga mats, TRX and resistance bands.

Our brand new (2024) kitchen is fully equipped with a full range of appliances including dishwasher, induction hob, self-cleaning oven and microwave. Coffee lovers will love our espresso machine, filter coffee maker and moka pot. With our blender, you can start every day with a delicious fresh tropical fruit smoothie. Our kitchen is not just about cooking; the large island with breakfast bar provides an additional social hub.

Also new in 2024, our outside Thai-style kitchen has a gas hob and bespoke 4-burner BBQ grill.

For guests with accessibility needs, we have a chair lift from the car park level up to the main entrance. With our poolside bedroom and open plan living area (kitchen, dining area, living area, TV den) all on the ground floor, the villa can be enjoyed as a single-level wheelchair accessible step-free space. Please contact us to discuss your needs and we will do our best to help.

The water in the villa is sourced from our own well and we have drinking water on tap so there's no need to buy single-use plastic bottles of water.

With six bedrooms, five en-suite bathrooms, guest WC, outside shower, new western & Thai kitchens, huge open plan living space, TV den with U-shaped sofa, private swimming pool with jacuzzi, tropical gardens, carport and terrace, the Glasshouse is spacious!

We can comfortably accommodate up to 22 guests (maximum 18 adults). Infants up to 2 years don't count towards our maximum.

The Glasshouse can accommodate up to 18 guests in beds with the following options for sleeping arrangements:

Master bedroom: king-size bed + king-size sofa bed (en-suite bathroom, 50" TV. walk-in closet, balcony with swing love seat)
2nd bedroom: king-size bed + queen-size sofa bed (*en-suite bathroom, 50" TV, balcony)
Poolside bedroom: king-size bed (en-suite bathroom)
Garden view room: 2 x single beds (*en-suite bathroom, 50" TV)
5th bedroom: king-size bed, separate private living room with double sofa bed (en-suite bathroom, 50" TV)
6th bedroom: king-size bed (en-suite bathroom)

We also have floor mattresses (for children), 3 cots and 3 high chairs.

*one en-suite bathroom is shared between 2nd and garden-view bedrooms

The 5th & 6th bedrooms each have their own separate private entrance accessed from the rear of the house. These bedrooms do not have sea views.

The rental includes a basic maid cleaning service and we can arrange whatever additional services you need to make your stay as indulgent as you'd like. These optional services include airport transfers, a chef to prepare your meals, changes in towels and bed linen, in-house massage, nanny/baby-sitter etc. To minimise the cost to guests and to support the local community, these are paid directly to the provider in Phuket. There are no platform fees and we don't take commission.

Our private and romantic setting with stunning views across the bay make it a perfect location for a special event. We've hosted a number of weddings and other events at the Glasshouse and can help with the arrangements. Please enquire before booking.

The Glasshouse has an electric gate to provide privacy and security as well as an alarm system.

There is sheltered parking available for two cars inside the gate.

To encourage thoughtful use of resources, electricity is included in the rental up to 200units/day. This will cover regular use of the villa and pool with modest use of aircon. Any electricity use over this is charged at cost.

The Cape Panwa area of Phuket is perhaps one of the island's best-kept secrets. The villa is situated on a small peninsula and close to two separate beaches, each just a few minutes walk away. Khao Khad is 1-2 minutes walk from the villa with nearly 1km stretch of beach. It’s undeveloped with just a few beach bars and restaurants. Most guests prefer Ao Yon beach which is 2-3 minutes walk and is also quiet and undeveloped. Both beaches are relatively sheltered and don’t have the high waves and rip tides that the west coast beaches experience.

All the essential amenities you need to make your stay convenient, comfortable and indulgent are just a short walk away. There’s a Family Mart convenience store about 300 metres away open 24/7. It has an ATM and stocks a wide range of products including drinks, ice, snacks, confectionery, ice cream, toiletries, and other essentials. They also sell alcohol during permitted hours (11am-2pm, 5pm-midnight).

If you want to explore further afield, it's easy to get around with local taxi vans (can generally accommodate 11 passengers)

The nearest outdoor food markets are in Borae, a nearby village. One is open all day and the other, slightly closer and more interesting, is open late afternoon to early evening. These sell fruit, vegetables, fresh fish, meat & cooked food as well as Thai desserts and other local products. The nearest supermarket is about 5 minutes away in Makham Bay.

Phuket attractions that are within 5-10 minutes of the Glasshouse include Phuket Aquarium, Ao Yon waterfall, Khao Khad Tower & Viewpoint, and Tarzan Adventure. Water-based activities such as kayaking, sailing, snorkeling & diving start out from Ao Yon beach.

Phuket's other attractions are scattered across the island and most places you'd want to visit are within a 15-45 minute drive.

The big international style supermarkets in Phuket Central are about 15-20 minutes away. If there’s something very specific that you need, Central Food Hall at Floresta has a world-class range of imported products.

The villa is always offered with exclusive use of the house, pool, and gardens.

To encourage thoughtful use of resources, electricity is included up to 200units/day. This will cover regular use of the villa and pool with modest use of aircon. Any use over this is charged at cost.

Check-in is from 3pm, and checkout is by 11am.

We understand that flight schedules may not always align with these timings. If you need extra time, please ask us about availability and any applicable fees for early check-in or late checkout. We’ll do our best to accommodate you.

Fabulous stay!!!

Our stay at the Glasshouse villa was a magical experience. Beautiful villa with exceptionally friendly and efficient management, nothing was too much trouble. Stunning views, great food from the organised chef, prompt taxi service, can't fault anything! The villa feels secluded, however the beach and local amenities mean that everything is on your doorstep. An unforgettable holiday!

Birthday Celebration

I had such a good time here, celebrating an important milestone ; my transition from Season 5 to Season 6. Friends and family came to stay in this gorgeous, spacious and airy villa. I had the master bedroom, which was bigger than my first apartment back home. Every day I woke up and swam in the pool, admiring the stunning view over the bay. The kitchen and dining facilities are excellent, and we cooked on a couple of days, but we were able to book a chef service, which produced three amazing meals, particularly the lunch on the day of my birthday, which was beyond delicious. The villa is quite well situated - away from the road but within easy walking of a pharmacy, massage outlets and restaurants. The local 7-11 is close and open 24 hours. If you want to get to Patpong and the nightlife there, it is quite a long drive, and you need to hire a van, but if you're with a group or family like I was, then the Glasshouse and the local area has everything you need for a wonderful stay.

A Piece of Paradise in Phuket

We didn’t think it was possible, but our return trip to the Glasshouse after 8 years was even better than before! The area has more shops and restaurants within a few minutes walk so you get the best of both worlds now - a secluded oasis to relax and watch the spectacular sunsets from the pool and interesting places to explore when you go out. All the attention to detail - from the check-in to recommendations for food, local markets to explore, and excursions around the island - made the entire trip feel very personalised for our special birthday celebration. We even had a private chef for a couple of nights who cooked in the outdoor kitchen and made some delicious local Thai dishes that we are still savouring! We were there during the low season, so expect a few tropical thunderstorms (a welcome relief from the heat and humidity). You’ll still get gorgeous weather most of the time. And no matter what time of year you go the Glasshouse is a great value with 6 en suite rooms (get ready to fight for the master BR!) and a private beach to walk along. The Glasshouse is a great place to stay if you want to avoid the touristy and tacky parts of the island. Best in Phuket!

Amazing and Everything we hoped for

The property was amazing and lived up to the description in every way. The chef, Nui, we hired through Bradly was fantastic and produced the BEST Thai food any of us have ever tasted. It was such a bonus not to worry about shopping, cooking and washing up. Bradly was easy to communucate with right from the very beginning, he was very prompt in replying and helpful in providing information. The villa manager was also extremely responsive to any request or query we had. It all made for being a fantastic holiday and it exceeded our expectations for a family reunion.

The BEST girls trip ever!!!!

Our experience was AMAZING!!!!! The house was beautiful in pictures and even more beautiful in person. We had a group of 14 ladies and we all slept comforably in the villa. The owner did a very good job informing us of all the amenities they offer. We utilized the Chef who was super accommodating and the food was GREAT!!! The taxi service was readily available, just be sure to call 1-2hrs in advance, Khun Pond (villa manager) and the owner Bradley communicated very well with us prior to our arrival. Prior to our arrival we arranged massages at the villa and the ladies came with 5-6 Masseuses which was perfect for our large group. The air conditioning was not an issue, we did go over a tad bit but as long as the doors are open then be sure to turn the air conditioning off. The pool area has its own speakers and lights inside the pool for night swim and there are two grills on the patio. 7/11 is directly behind the house and their is an ATM and money exchange right behind the house. I would advise you not to exchange your money in China (if this is your layover) at all, as there are NO FEES to exchange over in Thailand.

Total luxury and relaxation!

The Glasshouse was incredibly beautiful and exceeded all our expectations! The house afforded us the luxury of having a chef almost every day, they use the outdoor kitchen mostly unless they are teaching you a personalized cooking class, so the level of relaxation and luxury was really incredible. The house is so well equipped, we travelled with 3 other families with 5 kids total and they had a ball in the pool and at the world class beaches that are within walking distance. There was a lovely happy hour at a local resort and the low season was perfect without tons of tourists, it felt like we had the place to ourselves. There is a lovely spa within about 30 paces as well and the massages, staff, and facility are excellent! The owner and staff at the house are also very helpful and very informative and responsive helping to plan your trip to the fullest. Highly recommended, we will be back one day!

Beautiful villa

We rented The Glass House for our special wedding anniversary for 2 weeks with our family. There were 11 of us including 2 children and a baby. The facilities are so spacious that we never felt crowded. The owner, Bradley, is an excellent host and very attentive during the booking process ( and quick at returning the deposit). It is well located with nearby restaurants, bars, massages. The nearer of the two beaches is a bit abandoned but the second (only an extra 100 metres) is pleasant with bars, restaurants and a beautiful view of the bay. The interior is reasonably well fitted out although some of the appliances in the kitchen could do with upgrading (like the small 2 slice toaster for 11 people). The bedrooms are comfortable. The master bedroom is sumptuously large, with a beautiful bathroom including a sunken tub. The pool is great, just large enough, with a small stepped area where kids who don't swim can play. But beware, it is not fenced so keep an eye on the children! Sunset by the pool is spectacular. See the sun go down behind the giant Buddha on the mountain on the other side of the bay while sipping your tipple of choice. Great for photographers. All the service providers recommended by the property were good. We availed ourselves of extra cleaning, a cook for several days when we stayed in and a nanny (who was excellent). We also used the taxi service next door which is also efficient, polite and pleasant. Finding fault with this property is really nit picking but I would suggest that you check that everything works, especially lighting when you arrive. If it doesn't, phone the housekeeper and she gets things sorted efficiently and asap. Definitely recommended.

A little piece of paradise

We have just spent the most fantastic 2 weeks at The Glasshouse. Our group was made up of 7 adults and 10 children ranging in age from 11 months to 14 years and the house was absolutely perfect for us all. The house itself is stunning, spacious and airy with heaps of room for our large group. The views were gorgeous and we must have taken hundreds of sunset shots! ...and the pool was a huge hit with the kids. The location is also unbeatable - in a lovely quiet spot away from the big resorts but walking distance to 2 beautiful beaches and there are a number of great restaurants and beach bars close by too. Bradley was exceptionally helpful whilst we were booking and organising our trip and he gave us loads of great tips and advice. We employed a chef during our stay and she was wonderful - she made a wide variety of dishes (anything we requested) and also managed some special dietary needs in our group - we were really spoilt and it made it feel like a real holiday not having to cook or wash up! We also made the most of the services of Mr Bao the driver and he took us on a number of day trips and outings. Plus the villa manager Khun Pond was to hand to greet us and to help us with any needs we had during our stay. We had a wonderful relaxing 2 weeks and were very sad to leave. We have already recommended The Glasshouse to friends as we were so delighted with our stay. Thanks again Bradley, Khun Pond, Mr Bao and Chef Ao for a fantastic holiday

Wedding at The Glass House

I recently returned from my most fantastic holiday in my life. I stayed in the glasshouse for two weeks and the time spent in the villa was unforgettable. In point a fact I went there for a very special occasion - I got married and celebrated my wedding in the villa. I have to start with thanking Bradley for making it all possible. Throughout the process from the first email till arrival in the villa, everything was well managed and organized. Bradley was always responding to my queries immediately and booking the villa was a pleasant experience. Then I arrived at the villa I was pleasantly surprised because it looked even better than in pictures. The villa was spotless and looked gorgeous. During our stay, the villa was well looked after and we had cleaners coming in to clean villa itself as well as pool and take care of the garden. In total there were 14 of us on this holiday, and as much we enjoyed excursions around the island we sometimes couldn't wait to get back to the villa to relax by the pool and enjoy fantastic views. I would like to thank Khun Pond for managing our queries during our stay. Every time we had a query, she dealt with it immediately and got things resolved For anyone staying in the glasshouse, I would like to recommend Mr. Bao taxi services and he also organized a tour around Phuket for us. And to make the holiday even more pleasant, we had Chef coming to the villa to cook for our group. I have to say that it makes the difference - We enjoyed Pan's and Mum's cooked dishes very much. I recommend the villa to anyone interested in spending amazing time in Phuket

Wedding at the Glass House

Just wanted to pass on to any interested renters that this Villa is the best. The house was very comfortable. The view beautiful. We held our daughters wedding at the Villa and it was magical. Ceremony done in time to walk the newly married couple to the beach and get some great sunset pictures. The Beach Bar is half a mile away and what a place. View-food-prices. And Bradley's contact Mr. Bao was priceless. Set up all transportation needs and went above and beyond setting up day excursions on a speed boat, ferry to Phi Phi and private boat to Coral Island. This man was great! No second doubts that I would return. Highly recommend for any travelers and there family. Tim Mouzakis Would recommend to anyone that wants

Great Time @ Amazing Villa with Amazing Views!

I stayed at the Glasshouse with a group of friends for 5 days in July and had a truly amazing time! The villa is situated in a nicely secluded part of Phuket and sits on a little hill that provides beautiful, unobstructed views. All of the bed rooms were spacious and the master bedroom in particular is huge! The highlight for me was the pool area and the view from the pool, which overlooks the water and an other side of the island in Phuket! Great to have some cocktails while in the pool and enjoying the view! It was super easy to communicate with the owner of the property and all requests were handled promptly and I was pleased with the upkeep of the property. There are a few nice restaurants that are within 10 minutes walk from the villa! We had a great time and the next time I go to Phuket with friends, I will definitely be looking to book Glasshouse again!

Your own little piece of paradise

Amazing house of generous proportions with lots of quiet areas so you can have quiet and relaxation as well as being with friends. The master suite is nearly as large as our London flat! Well equipt kitchen, dining area, lots of seating areas and the most increadible pool and view. There are two stretches of beaches nearby, one very quiet and one with access to beachfront bars and restaurants. Thai massage available nearby too. The location is very quiet, but we had no problem getting into town by cab even if you do not rent a car.

Fantastic villa, real paradise on earth!

We had an amazing stay at the Glasshouse. Panwa is sort of a hidden gem away from the more commercial destinations on Phuket, yet just a short drive away from town. The Glasshouse is located on a beautiful bay facing the sunset, and it has superb unobstructed views of the sea and surrounding hills. The rooms were nice and spacious and the kitchen fully fitted with all we needed for our stay. Mr. Bradley was wonderful and gave us a few very useful tips on nice restaurants and charming cafes nearby. He also introduced a very good chef whom we hired to cook for us while we lazed by the pool. A fantastic villa, classy and comfortable… A real home away from home. Highly recommended!!!

Phuket paradise!

We had a fantastic holiday in a beautiful setting! Pure bliss in the south of the island, away from the hustle and bustle of Karon, Patong et al. The view from the rear of the place is stunning! The villa is large and comfortable, even if all the rooms are occupied. There are a number of little areas where you can relax and have a chat. The swimming pool attached to the villa is perfect for having a dip in the hot weather. Tip - make use of Bao (driver who lives next door to the villa)who is a wonderful man and is very helpful. Jay (chef) who came to the villa to cook meals for the family was fantastic and is clearly a pro! You'll do well to find a thai dish he doesn't know!

The Glass House will make your holiday dreams come

We have just enjoyed three fantastic weeks at The Glass House in Phuket, and all agree that it really was the most wonderful place to stay. The house is truly magnificent; it is difficult to describe quite how beautiful it is. All the rooms are tastefully decorated, even on a rainy day we were more than happy to be staying in the house for the day. The garden and swimming pool are stunning, with loads of space for sunbathing and sitting in the shade. The view across the bay is breathtaking. The Glass House is in a superb location, being close to the beach and completely private. It is beautifully decorated and fully equipped. A great deal of thought has gone into the design of the house, with fantastic attention given to detail. It is perfect for an intimate, romantic holiday, a large family gathering or anything in between. There is even a ground floor bedroom which was perfect for our elderly father who has limited mobility. Everyone we met bent over backwards to help us. The House Manager and her husband ensured that we had what we needed while we were there, that everything in the house was in good order and spotlessly clean. The nearby taxi service, being just 5 minutes away, was like having our own personal chauffeur. We even had a local agent visit us to arrange various excursions, trips and a day on a private yacht. Bradley has done everything to ensure that one's time at The Glass House is happy and stress-free, we have no hesitation in recommending it for the perfect holiday in Phuket.

schöne Tage im einer tollen Villa!

Wir waren für 8 Tage in der schönen Villa zu Gast. Die Buchung erfolgte über fewo-direkt, der Kontakt zum Vermieter war perfekt! Vor Ort wurden wir von der Verwalterin in Empfang genommen, um die Ecke wohnt Mr. Boa der für uns als Fahrer immer zur Verfügung stand! Es waren echt tolle Tage in einer traumhaften Villa mit einem sehr schönem Ausblick auch die Bucht von Chalong! Alles in allem sehr zu empfehlen - wir kommen gerne wieder!

Just great!!!

Just great! We were a group of 8 people between 26 and 32 years old. We spend two weeks in the Villa “The Glasshouse” in March 2013. The Villa is just great – very clean and comfortable! The pool and the environment are very beautiful – we spent a lot of time at the Villa relaxing by the pool. Just a short walk you will get to a nice sandy beach. The organisation was just perfect! The owner of the Villa was very helpful and answered all our questions so we could travel very relaxed to our holidays. The contact person on site and our driver also did a great job and were very friendly and helpful! In short – we had a wonderful time in Phuket and it is highly recommended to visit this place and the Glasshouse!

Fantastic, perfectly suited to our needs

This villa is beautiful, well-constructed, clean and stylishly decorated. I stayed here with my wife, 2 small kids, brother, parents and grandparents (9 people) and all were accommodated comfortably, with spacious rooms and comfy beds. The grounds/gardens are also lovely, natural and well-maintained. Entertainment areas abound, but the highlight is the pool and gazebo, especially popular with the kids. Everybody swam every day, almost all day. Evenings were bliss, watching the sun set over the bay with a cold drink in hand. The 2 nearby beaches are OK, but not the pristine stuff of tourist postcards. The beach to the west has a couple of nice beach restaurants, while the one to the east is lovely for swimming/walking. All the Phuket attractions are close enough to reach for a day-trip (the next-door neighbour is a very friendly and accommodating taxi operator with a LARGE and comfortable van, as well as affordable rates). However, to be honest, each time I went on a day trip, I regretted not just spending the time relaxing at the villa - perhaps with the exception of Nai-Harn beach. Anyway, I loved it here, but just bear in mind it is on the quieter side of town. This villa really is a little piece of paradise.

It doesn't get much better than this

We, three couples from Finland, visited the place in mid October escaping the dreary northern autumn. And what a wonderful place The Glasshouse is! The pictures looked very promising indeed, and also the price seemed right. And believe me, I had looked hard and long at the huge selection of villas in Thailand. The place is exactly as described. The pictures show a beautiful house standing on a hillside overlooking the sea. And when you arrive, everything is as you expect, even more so. What makes this villa stand out from many others are the glass walls facing the ocean. Wherever you stand inside the house you can admire the sea, be it the kitchen, the dining area, the bedroom ( the smaller third bedroom faces the back of the house, though) or poolside. My wife and I slept in the master bedroom and never closed the curtains because of the fantastic view directly from the bed. The adjoining huge bathroom also has windows facing the sea, so you can brush your teeth or take a bath and enjoy the scenery at the same time. Another very pleasant feature of the house is its styling. Coming from Scandinavia we prefer streamlined, not too "loud" architecture. This place is elegant and stylish with its white walls, black and white stone floors and beautiful parqueting in the bedrooms. Lots of air and light. To crown it all the place is furnished in good taste. We really injoyed the Thai artefacts such as paintings, sculptures, and smaller objects - a very nice touch of Thailand in the otherwise international styling. All the equipment is first-class. The kitchen is perfect for home cooking with its good-quality appliances and kitchenware. And outside a large grill is so nice if you want to prepare barbecued meals, which we did. Inside, home entertainment equipment is up to the task with the home theatre in the living room and wi-fi everywhere in the house. But we hardly watched TV or listened to audio because of the tempting pool and the fantastic view, simply didn't want to stay inside. The service that comes with the house is swift and efficient. Whatever the problem, the housekeeper would immediately address it with politness and a smile. The house is not new but has been kept in very good condition, so you don't have to worry about tear and wear. It is cleaned twice a week (including the pool), which was plenty enough for us. You will not be disappointed!

10 days in a wonderful villa with perfect view

We stayed at the house for 10 days. We had a wonderful time there. There are so much to tell about the house and our stay there. Short i will tell about some pros and cons. Bao the taxa driver living really close to the house was SO friendly and sweet. He drove us around the hole time, we never used anybody else. He could take care of anything for us. Wait when we went shopping and so on. And his english is good, so no problem there. I would recommend using him when you stay there. The house is lovely, but there are some light that need to be fixed around the house. No big deal, but still a little annoying. If you are expecting beach life, i would not recommend renting this villa. But for the family that was privacy and quiet surroundings then it is perfect. Over all we had a great stay there, but to much rain during our stay. But thats the monsoon rain in july.

Why they chose this property

I fell in love with the Glasshouse as soon as I stepped foot inside and I hope you will too.

It was designed by a top-rated architect as a family home with exquisite attention to detail.

The villa is nestled into the jungle on a small peninsula in the south part of Phuket. It's away from the hustle and bustle of the West coast but still convenient for many of the attractions around the island.

The internal living space connects seamlessly with the outside area which in turn is in harmony with the surroundings.

What makes this property unique

A private & secluded home away from home that's perfect for informal gatherings of family and friends.

The private and romantic setting with stunning views across the bay make it the perfect location for a special event. We've hosted a number of weddings at the Glasshouse and can help with arrangements.
