I love cooking, I love life in kitchen and I love my colleagues. We work very hard here but I’m happy. Half of my life has been spent in the kitchen!

Special Dish:
My recommended dish today is roasted rack of lamb with herbs and port wine sauce. The special ingredient is the imported Australian lamb, roasted with green herbs, served with potato, vegetables and our special wine sauce.

The Naka Phuket has three top-class restaurants serving exquisite cuisine, prepared with the freshest ingredients available.

Wiwa, The resort’s principle restaurant, serves a combination of classic and popular Thai & Western dishes as well as some surprises which are a combination of both.

The Meka Sky Lounge, offers 180-degree panoramic views over Nakalay Beach with a range of meals and drinks, Thai, European, Italian and French. This is the perfect place to enjoy sunsets and truly appreciate the ingenious design of the entire resort.

Nana Restaurant, the ideal place to hang out, relax and enjoy the good coffee and baked goods, or even the casual barbecue prepared on the food truck for dinner.

From strolling along secluded beaches Naka Phuket welcomes everyone to reward yourself here, enjoy breathtaking panoramic views of the Andaman Sea and exotic hideaways together with the highest quality dining and service in Phuket.
