PRU is the new home of the only Michelin-starred restaurant in Phuket and the first in the area to receive a Michelin Green Star for its commitment to the environment.

The only restaurant in Phuket to have ever received the prestigious Michelin star, will give guests front-row seats to the best of Thailand when its new kitchen premieres on November 1.
