When you go through a lot of beautiful palaces with breathtaking Thai architect, have you ever wonder what it'll be like to live in that? What it'll be like to have dinner in that place? Amidst all those golden ceilings and floor with delicious authentic Thai cuisine, plus seafood and various Asian foods. Well, Phuket Fantasea has just that for you.
We may know Phuket FantaSea as one of the most luxurious tourist attractions in Southern Thai, with the spectacular shows and ornate buildings, but not so many people know more about this beautiful place.
"Golden Kinnaree" is the name of the famous buffet restaurant of Phuket Fantasea. It offers Thai, vegetarian, Indian, Halal, seafood menus, and special menus for group. Of course, the foods are superb, but the atmosphere of the restaurant is even better. It was designed as a royal feast amidst the legendary Himmapan forest, served by the mystical half-bird half-human Kinnarees.
You can indulge in the delicious and finely-made food in a distinctly regal setting. There are over 400 meters of hand-painted wall murals of Thai classical art. Golden Kinnaree lake is also a home to the world's biggest freshwater fish, the Mekong Catfish which grows up to 3 meters in length. Even the carpet is specially designed to depict the magical 'Anodhard' pool where Kinnaree's like to bath in. You can also enjoy an one of a kind experience by ordering a bottle of wine from the selected wine list and watch te Kinnaree fly to the heavenly Sky Bar to get your wine.
If you want the even more elaborate gourmet buffet with Thai and international seafood cuisines such as firm and succulent Tiger Prawn, you can go to "Suriyamas Seafood Buffet Restaurant" which is located in "Sun And Moon" twin pavilions inside the Golden Kinnaree. The place is extremely grand and golden, decorated like Thai palace, so you can finally know what it feels like to dine as a royalty in Thai style.
This restaurant offers A La Minute cooking service which let you choose from a large selection of fresh seafood and have it cooked the way you wish. They also have signature menus that varied from Suriyamas Tiger Prawn with Tom Yum Sauce, Grill Squid with Thai Spicy Sauce, Pan Fried Mussels with Pesto Sauce, Stir Fried Crab with Curry Powder, Grill Beef Sirloin, Steamed Salmon with Soya Sauce, FantaSea Chicken Drumstick with Herbs, or you can go wild and create the new menus yourself. You can enjoy the international buffet dishes from the connected Golden Kinnaree too.
While the dashing and delicate A La Minute menus are great, don't forget to check out one of the simplest Thai menus they offered, Clear Soup Noodles with Fish Balls. You may raise your eyebrows when the beautiful Kinnaree waitress recommends it to you, but believe it or not, you will find yourself falling in love with tasty soup and fish balls that feel like they contain no flour at all. "Simple is best" at its best.
Phuket FantaSea has a lot to offers. From the extravaganza shows in many forms, the exciting elephant ride, the Tiger Jungle Adventure, the carnival village festival, to the scrumptious buffet. So if you have a chance to go to Phuket, don't forget to visit one of the most impressive tourist attraction in Southern Thailand!
