Before you book

What's the meal-plan and dining lineup at Dusit Thani?

Five standing restaurants and bars plus one private-dining concept. The Market covers breakfast and dinner buffets; Benjarong is the Thai fine-dining flagship, overwater and led by Executive Chef Olivier Portret; Sea Grill and Sala handle lunch through dinner, grilled seafood at one, plant-based dishes above the water at the other (Sala is closed Fridays); Sand Bar runs cocktails and light bites from mid-morning past midnight beside the resort's infinity pool. The One Table: Borderless Dining stages a fully customised private menu wherever the island allows. Dusit's site doesn't publish which meal-plan tier includes which venues — IMJ confirms your package against this list before booking.
