KRABI, Thailand — A new chef and specialist in Indian cuisine, Mr Chander Prakash, has joined the culinary team at Banyan Tree Krabi, and he fully intends to spice things up in the kitchen.
Chef Chander’s appointment at the Two-Key MICHELIN-listed beachfront resort in Southern Thailand will add a new element of culinary expertise to the hotel’s dining outlet, The Naga Kitchen.
“I have been working in top-class kitchens at hotels and restaurants across India and Thailand for more than 10 years, specialising in North Indian cuisine,” said Chef Chander. “For me, cooking is more than just preparing food — it is about creating memorable dining experiences. I always focus on fresh ingredients, balanced flavors, and attention to detail in every dish. I am especially passionate about Indian curries, biryani, kebabs, tandoori specialties, and Arabic cuisine.”
Chandler said that his culinary journey began with a passion for traditional spices and the art of tandoor cooking. He modestly claims that his specialties include dishes such as dal makhani, Butter Chicken, and Paneer Butter Masala.
Chander comes to Banyan Tree Krabi from the 5-star Sinae Phuket where he was Indian and Arabic Chef, a title he previously held at the Keemala Hotel on the same Thai island. His resumé also includes experiences at the Hotel Germanus Springs hotel in Kodaikanal and De Karavali restaurant in Bangalore where he honed his skills in Tandoor cooking.
“Chef Chander will help us expand our culinary identity with his expertise in authentic Indian cuisine,” said Ms Porntip Narangsiya, Banyan Tree Krabi’s Director of Food & Beverage. “Of course, visitors of all nationalities love Indian food, and we are especially privileged to welcome many guests from India, including large parties for beachfront weddings and celebrations. Now we can also offer an option of delicious Indian cuisine with a modern presentation, in addition to the existing Thai and international fare, and we believe this will create some memorable dining experiences for guests.”
