High-End Thai Restaurant in Phuket Town ✓

Content show

Blue Elephant Phuket is a high-end Thai restaurant built in a renovated Thai house set in an immense garden in Old Phuket Town. Pracha Phra Pitak Chinpracha Mansion is a fantastic old mansion that used to be a governor’s house but was abandoned for a long time. Blue Elephant Phuket is perfect for a special occasion, a dining experience to share and remember.

Blue Elephant Phuket received a Michelin rating from the Phuket Michelin Guide.

Seen from the street, Phra Pitak Chinpracha Mansion always had the majesty of a place with a long and mysterious history. They returned the mansion to its original grandeur, and you can now drive up the immense garden alley, leave your car under the trees and proudly climb the stairs like a celebrity to enter the famous Blue Elephant.

Then, it’s dinner time, and you will walk through the ‘Blue Elephant Gallery’ to the air-conditioned indoor or outdoor dining area. Service is as impeccable as you expect it to be, and the restaurant and table setting is beautiful.

What to Order at Blue Elephant?

We could give you the full menu, but the list is too vast and original; you need to browse it yourself. To help your culinary experience, Blue Elephant marked the recommended dishes on the menu with Red Elephants. The most unusual dishes always tempt us on the menu because what would be the point of ordering dishes you could eat in any restaurant?

Even though it certainly would be different, names like ‘Buffalo Satays’ and ‘Steamed Fish in Bamboo’ never fail to trigger our curiosity. The Lamb Curry Massaman and Duck Massaman were also great. None of the dishes we tried on three occasions was spicy.

The price was 1,500 Baht per person this time, and none of us had more than a cocktail and a beer or two. Blue Elephant Phuket is also one of the Best Cooking Schools in Phuket.

Dining in a hundred-year-old governor’s house adds a new dimension to the experience. The Blue Elephant is a long-established cooking school from Bangkok and a great place to invite your guests or for a romantic occasion. Take the time to walk around the park with your glass in hand and appreciate the majesty of the Sino-Portuguese architecture, shaded by immense trees that witnessed moments of Phuket’s fascinating history.

As you explore Phra Pitak Chinpracha Mansion, it becomes easy to imagine how they held parties and ceremonies within these walls. Then, climb the stairs to the second floor and walk through several large rooms with dark wooden floors and many windows, which are typical of this era.
