PHUKET, THAILAND, November 12, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- InterContinental Phuket Resort celebrates a defining moment in its culinary journey as its signature restaurants, Jaras and hom, receive prestigious recognition in the MICHELIN Guide Thailand 2027.

Jaras has been promoted to One MICHELIN Star, marking a milestone in its pursuit of sustainable Southern Thai gastronomy, while Ms. Chanyawi (Min) Mukmaneerattanapon received the MICHELIN Service Award 2027, recognising her individual dedication to the highest service standards and the collective efforts of the entire culinary and service team of hom which retained it MICHELIN Guide Selection status.

The accolades affirm the resort’s distinctive culinary identity: Jaras has appeared in the MICHELIN Guide Thailand for four consecutive years and hom for three. Both restaurants share an unwavering commitment to craftsmanship, authenticity, and memorable guest experiences.

Jaras: A Celebration of Southern Thailand, Guided by Nature
Rooted in the philosophy of Habitat-conscious, Ecologically-pure and Southern Thai, Jaras offers a contemporary interpretation of Southern Thai cuisine, honouring the relationship between the land, its people and the ingredients that sustain them.

Under Chef de Cuisine Chalermwut Srivorakul, affectionately known as Chef Nui, Jaras celebrates the richness of the region’s culinary heritage through a thoughtful balance of tradition and innovation. Its menus follow the natural rhythm of the seasons, drawing inspiration from local farmers, artisanal producers, and the biodiversity of the surrounding landscape.

At the heart of Jaras lies a simple belief: We eat what our land gives, in rhythm with the seasons. This philosophy extends beyond the plate through responsible sourcing, ingredient preservation, waste reduction, and meaningful partnerships with local communities. Rather than reinventing tradition, Jaras preserves its essence while allowing familiar flavours to evolve through contemporary techniques and refined presentation.

“Receiving a MICHELIN Star is an extraordinary honour, but its deepest meaning lies in celebrating the farmers, ingredients and traditions that shape Southern Thai cuisine. Our responsibility is to respect what nature provides and allow every ingredient to tell its own story,” says Chef Nui

hom: A Destination Rooted in Fermentation, Land, and the Stories of Thailand
Set within the celestial Sawan Pavilion, hom presents an imaginative dining experience shaped by three principles: Innovative Cooking, Master Craftsmanship and Ethereal Setting. Led by Chef Marcelo Baruch and an international culinary team, hom explores the transformative possibilities of fermentation, revealing unexpected dimensions of flavour through Thailand’s remarkable natural ingredients.

Complementing this cuisine is a deeply personalised approach to hospitality. At hom, exceptional service is a collective expression of warmth, intuition, and graceful precision. Every team member helps create an atmosphere in which guests feel genuinely welcomed and thoughtfully cared for. Exemplifying this service culture is this year’s recipient of the MICHELIN Service Awards 2027, Ms. Chanyawi (Min) Mukmaneerattanapon, whose dedication to attentive, personalised service reflects the restaurant’s philosophy.

“I feel truly honoured to receive this recognition. For me, exceptional service is about understanding each guest as an individual and making them feel genuinely welcome and cared for. It is a privilege to be part of the hom team, where we share a passion for creating meaningful and memorable experiences for every guest.“, says Min

InterContinental Phuket Resort: A World of Flavours
With eight distinctive restaurants and bars on Kamala Beach, from authentic Thai cuisine and innovative fine dining to beachfront restaurants and sunset cocktails, this is the ideal setting to savour a world of flavours inspired by Thailand and beyond, all united by a commitment to sustainable gastronomy.

“Exceptional dining is created through the harmony of cuisine, atmosphere and genuine human connection,” says Chef Marco Turatti, Director of Culinary at InterContinental Phuket Resort. “Jaras and hom express two different culinary approaches, united by dedication to quality, creativity, and authenticity. These recognitions belong to our entire teams.”

A New Chapter of Culinary Discovery
In early 2027, Jaras is set to begin an exciting new chapter with its relocation to the resort’s forthcoming Bokkhorani Wing. The new setting will offer a more exclusive, elevated dining environment, designed to enhance the Southern Thai culinary journey while preserving the restaurant’s enduring connection to nature and sustainability.

“Jaras’ MICHELIN Star is a proud milestone, while Min’s recognition celebrates the human connection that makes exceptional hospitality truly memorable. As we look to the future, we remain committed to celebrating Phuket through authentic culinary discovery and meaningful guest experiences,” says Bjorn Courage, General Manager of the Two MICHELIN Key, InterContinental Phuket Resort.

Together, Jaras and hom invite discerning travellers to discover thoughtful gastronomy, creative expression, and heartfelt Thai hospitality at InterContinental Phuket Resort.
