Forest of Flavours
Phuket

Tucked under a lush forest canopy overlooking an emerald river in sleepy northern Phuket, Kin Dee is a hidden gem. This award-winning family restaurant serves Thai favourites along with rare dishes seldom found elsewhere.

Start with the fiery shrimp Nam Phrik dip, a local delicacy packed with Phuket prawns, lime, and shallots and served with an exotic veggie medley starring sea grapes and young cashew leaves. Or dive into the Tamarind Shrimp, hidden beneath a mountain of friend garlic and shallots. Prefer turf over surf? Try the stir-fried duck with basil and kaffir lime – it might just steal your heart.
