Discover AIM Phuket – A New Chapter of Local Casual Fine Dining

Where local ingredients become culinary stories

AIM PHUKET officially opened its doors on November 21, 2025, introducing the concept “The AIM in Full Dimension.” More than just a new restaurant, AIM PHUKET is a place where the story of Thailand is told through thoughtfully selected local ingredients sourced from across the country. We are now delighted to welcome all food lovers to experience this new culinary destination in Phuket.

Founded by Mr. Tanapon Tienjanwong, a Phuket-based entrepreneur with a deep passion for gastronomy, AIM PHUKET was created with a vision that goes beyond dining.  Supported by Phuket Thienthong, a leading distributor of premium consumer goods in Southern Thailand, AIM PHUKET aims to raise local dining standards while creating long-term value for Phuket and its neighboring provinces.

At the helm of the kitchen is Chef May Phattanant Thongthong, an award-winning Thai chef and Global Chef Challenge gold medalist, as well as the runner-up of Top Chef Thailand. Known for her ability to elevate humble local ingredients into refined yet approachable dishes, Chef May brings sustainability, creativity, and bold flavors to life on every plate.

“At AIM PHUKET, we believe that every dish tells a story. The most meaningful stories come from carefully chosen local ingredients—such as organic black pork from Nan, pepper from Trang, and Sangyod rice from Phatthalung. Through modern techniques, we highlight their true character and create dishes that feel both familiar and unexpectedly new,” says Chef May.

From the Andaman Sea to the Table

Respect for the ocean lies at the heart of AIM PHUKET. Fresh seafood is sourced daily from local fishermen and enhanced using specialized dry-aging techniques to deepen flavor and improve texture. Various parts of the fish are also transformed into distinctive creations known as “Seacuterie,” reflecting our commitment to sustainability and craftsmanship.

The Chef’s Signature Picks:

  • Bitter Orange Cured Coral Trout: Five-day dry-aged Coral Trout cured with Bitter Orange Limoncello, served with fresh Shogun orange, Yuzu ponzu dressing, and dill oil.
  • Cured Sea Bass & Fancy Tomato Compressed: Sugar-and-salt cured Sea Bass paired with compressed tomatoes, finished with AIM Phuket’s signature fish sauce for a perfectly balanced bite.
  • Salmon Tataki Green Emulsion: Dry-aged salmon lightly seared tataki-style, accompanied by a refreshing green emulsion made from green apple and celery.
  • Bee Go Moi: A beloved Phuket dessert featuring black glutinous rice, airy coconut milk foam, and taro ice cream, and a crisp Sesame Tuile with subtle French touch.
