Why go

About Black Ginger

Black Ginger sits inside The Slate resort on Nai Yang Beach, in a traditional Thai mansion that appears to float over a glowing lagoon. The kitchen works from old local recipes and gives them a contemporary, adventurous touch. Dinner is the only service, and tables are limited, so guests reserve ahead.

The kitchen is led by Executive Sous Chef Anongrat Meklai, known as Chef Piak, who also looks after Moo’s Kitchen. She has cooked Thai food for decades and has spent 35 years at the property. Her approach is to keep recipes traditional and simple while letting the flavours do the complicated work.
