Don\u2019t be surprised if he appears again on the next list with Samut, his first Phuket restaurant. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cPhuket wasn\u2019t known as a fine-dining destination,\u201d says Ton, noting that the scene has been defined by its tourist market, so pizza and pasta, European and Thai food. Fine, but nobody flew to Phuket to dine until Ton and a new wave of creative chefs began upping offerings on Thailand\u2019s largest island. Ton hired chef Chatchawan \u201cBanky\u201d Varahajeera at Samut (meaning ocean) to showcase Phuket\u2019s seafood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Samut also uses local ingredients like island flowers and southern specialties \u2013 the mud crab comes drenched in rich yellow curry, while the Phuket lobster is dressed in coriander, served with sea grape and kale. It\u2019s part of a localisation trend celebrating southern cuisine, savoured at venues like Royd and Laad. The latter features Steve Doucakis, a young American chef who worked at Quince in Bangkok. He raves about the unlimited potential in the wide-open spaces<br>of Phuket.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/luxuryescapes.com\/au\/search?destinationName=Phuket&amp;destinationId=le_d47bb339212ddfab0fadd99d492a5fc3&amp;adults=2&amp;children=none&amp;flexibleWithDate=true&amp;pages=2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/luxuryescapes.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Trisara-1914copy-1024x924.jpg\" alt=\"A dish being prepared at Jampa Restaurant, one of the best restaurants in Thailand\" class=\"wp-image-17452\"\/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Chef Rick Dingen plating dishes at Jampa restaurant.
