“Vilas” in the Thai language, represents one word with two interpretations; วิลาศ meaning from Europe or other lands; วิลาส meaning charm and beauty. It also represents a rare orchid that one can only find in the Northern Thai mountains.

OVERVIEW
Vilas aims to defy all notions of traditional Thai cuisine, where we combine new world ingredients and ancient cooking techniques premised on the concept of deeply rooted appreciation for nature. Sophisticated minimalism and subtle natural elements touched by an earthy palette set the main stage where chef Prin Polsuk of Samrub Samrub Thai teams up with chef Bank Worapot Tansakun for a whimsically refined, dining experience.

AMBIENCE
Vilas sets itself apart by exuding elegant minimalism, paying homage to Japan’s clean aesthetic of subtle, natural elements. Touched by an earthy palette of warm taupes, and wooden accents, the interior playfully contrasts the boldness of ingredients and flavors being showcased.

ABOUT CHEF
Chef Prin Polsuk has been paving the way for Thai cuisine with his unwavering passion for preserving ancient Thai recipes and re-interpreting them respectfully for today's time. Growing up in a family of farmers in Northern Thailand, Prin became mesmerized by Thai culinary traditions and started his cooking career at the legendary Mandarin Oriental working for the unofficial ambassador of Thai cuisine, Chef Vichit Mukura, before being poached by acclaimed Australian chef, David Thompson, to run the kitchen at Nahm in London and Bangkok.

With homemade-style cooking of regional Thai dishes embedded in his memoir, he and his food activist partner, Mint Jarukittikun, have been traveling in and around Thailand to comprehend the sub-local regional Thai food culture, seeking forgotten recipes as well as long lost ingredients. In 2017, they co-founded Samrub Samrub Thai, an educational restaurant that acts as a platform where they advocate the value of native Thai ingredients and Thai regional cuisine straight from its core.
