The story
At Amanpuri, on the sands of Pansea Beach, Buabok is the resort's main restaurant and a destination for authentic Thai dining. Open to both guests and non-residents, its menu is shaped by the Executive Chef's lifelong passion and peerless expertise, offering an insight into the best of Southern Thai cuisine.
The kitchen draws on freshly sourced produce, catch-of-the-day from local fishing boats, and homegrown herbs and vegetables from Amanpuri's own gardens. Smooth, aromatic curries sit alongside fresh salads and perfectly balanced pad thai. The menu also highlights the distinct culinary culture of southern Thailand, with dishes such as fiery curries, piquant tom yam soups laced with lemongrass, and fragrant green mango salads with betel leaves and crispy soft shell crab.
This commitment to regional Thai cooking has earned Buabok a Michelin Recommended status. By day, the restaurant serves Thai-inspired and international classic breakfasts beside the pool.
For a deeper experience, the Thai Cooking Masterclass invites guests to manually grind red curry paste, prepare coconuts and fruits, and develop exquisite dishes using the resort's fresh ingredients. It is a hands-on tribute to the rich heritage of Thai cooking.
