Why go
About Ta Khai
Ta Khai means “fishing net”, and the restaurant at Rosewood Phuket takes its mood from a rustic Thai village. Chef Nun and Chef Yai cook authentic southern Thai dishes shaped by the daily catch and by local ingredients. Food waste is composted, as part of the kitchen’s commitment to producing no waste.
The cooks, known as Uncle Nun and Aunt Yai, are a married couple who have refined their skills over about 40 years. They specialise in ancient southern Thai recipes, aromatic flavours and seafood. Dishes arrive to be shared at the table, in the traditional family way, which suits groups and long dinners.
