Royd is the most talked-about restaurant in Phuket right now. Chef Suwijak "Mond" Kunghae, who was born on the island and won Iron Chef Thailand, won the MICHELIN Guide Thailand Young Chef Award 2026, and Tatler Best Thailand named Royd its Rising Star for 2026. The restaurant is also in the Michelin Guide.

Royd seats about 20 people, including a counter, in a shophouse on Dibuk Road in the old town. The tasting menu is contemporary Southern Thai built on Phuket produce, with torch ginger running through it, a Krabi-style fish curry, and frog's legs with fermented rice noodles.

Eight courses cost ฿3,950++ and five courses ฿3,290++ (about USD 118 and USD 98 before tax and service). Dinner is served Thursday to Monday, with seatings at 5pm and 8:15pm, and lunch on Saturday and Sunday. Book a few weeks ahead in high season.
