In Phuket, the consensus about Dibuk House, the creation of award-winning mixologist Wynn Chaokitiwut, is that this is the thinking drinker’s watering hole. Every cocktail here is studied in terms of its flavor profile and ingredients that reflect a concept in creative, unexpected ways. Take a recent series based on the world of insects. Rather than going for the shock value of ant eggs or fried crickets, Khun Wynn’s approach is more subtle. A hint of carrot and potato suggest insect life underground, rice spirit and honey come from the earth, while lacto-fermented blueberries and coconut bergamot cordial evoke insects in flight. Cerebral? Yes. But it’s good fun and most importantly they’re good drinks too.
The initiated will want to ask about Dibuk House’s new sister bar called Shhh. As the name suggests, it’s a speakeasy hidden in plain sight in the middle of town that serves its own menu of quirky concoctions. Obliging staff can point you in the right direction if you ask nicely. —Vincent Vichit-Vadakan
