Phensiri Thai Restaurant

Welcome to a return to the roots of Thai Cuisine, where every dish tells a story deeply rooted in Samui’s rich culinary heritage. Founded by Chef Santi Wongsawat, a native of the island, Phensiri honors time-honored southern Thai recipes while embracing a commitment to health, sustainability, and authenticity.

At Phensiri, we cook with intention. Our kitchen uses only what nature offers fresh each day — locally grown herbs, responsibly sourced seafood, and tropical produce from the Samui archipelago. We avoid industrial ingredients, opting instead for natural alternatives like coconut oil and traditional animal fats that have nourished generations.

Chef Santi’s journey began in his mother’s kitchen, where he learned the secrets of southern Thai flavors and the importance of balance and technique. Today, that legacy lives on in every dish, from vibrant curries enriched with mature coconuts to delicate desserts made with the subtle sweetness of young ones. Each meal is a tribute to the island’s bounty and the wisdom of its culinary traditions.
