Reach for the Stars: DARA Cuisine Phuket's Cosmic Culinary Journey Continues with Chef "Oat" Nattaphon Othanawathakij at Anantara Layan Phuket Resort

Michelin-selected 2025 and Tatler Dining's Rising Star Chef, Chef Oat, teams up with Chef Hong to craft a six-course menu blending Melbourne's vibrant culinary influences with the bold, locally sourced flavors of southern Thai cuisine. Together, they deliver a dining experience that bridges two distinct culinary worlds.

"Don't miss the chance to experience a truly extraordinary collaboration. 'It's an honor to work alongside Chef Hong, one of Thailand's rising star female chefs,' says Chef Oat of HEH Phuket. 'Her talent and vision are inspiring, and together, we've created a menu that celebrates our shared passion for comforting, exciting, authentic flavors."

The resort proudly unveiled DARA Cuisine Phuket and Sky Observatory in April 2024, a unique venue combining modern Thai dining with celestial exploration. Set within Anantara Layan Phuket Resort, DARA (meaning "star" in Thai) offers a grill-focused menu with seasonal ingredients, guided stargazing, celestial-inspired beverage, and interactive Thai cooking classes. Guests can enjoy daily cooking classes (12:00-3:00 pm), dinner service (6:00-10:00 pm), and stargazing with drinks (6:00 pm-midnight), honoring Thailand's rich culinary heritage and seafaring traditions.
