Plan your eventFor a private group dinner in Bang Tao or Cherngtalay, the most characterful room is Bisou, a modern French restaurant near Laguna that opens as a private dining room, a private upper floor or a full-venue buyout. Nearby, SUAY Cherngtalay hosts private dinners in its courtyard, Tatonka takes private parties near Boat Avenue, and PRU at Trisara keeps a ten-seat room inside its wine cellar. As of July 2026, these are the rooms to know for a milestone, a wedding or a corporate dinner on Phuket's west coast.
Cherngtalay and Bang Tao lean quiet after the beach, so the handful of rooms that hold a real private event are worth knowing by name. Below, each is placed by what it genuinely offers a group, with a clean route to booking yours.
Three private spaces at Bisou
Bisou opens three private options at No.4 Bandon-Cherngtalay Road, from an intimate curtained room to the whole house, each shaped to your group rather than a fixed number. There is no set minimum and no hard ceiling: head chef Manon Bares builds the menu around your night, the French sommelier pairs it, sauces are flambeed at the table and the meat is carved in front of your guests.
The Private Room
Behind a heavy curtain: candlelight, a table set for a close group. For milestone birthdays, honeymoon parties and discreet dinners.
The Upper Floor
Joined to the bar by the spiral staircase, a floor removed from the room below but still part of its energy. For mid-sized celebrations.
Full Venue Buyout
Bar, dining room, cellar, with the cocktail bar running to 1 AM. The room as we built it, for weddings and end-of-year parties.
Bisou is founded by chef Antoine Darquin and sommelier Théo Lavergne, and sits a short drive from Laguna, Boat Avenue and Bang Tao Beach. See the private events page for the full offer, or the menu for the share-style French dishes.

Bisou
Three private spaces, a custom menu by head chef Manon Bares, tableside carving and flambe, a French cellar and a bar to 1 AM. Adapts from an intimate table to a full buyout, with no fixed minimum.
SUAY Cherngtalay
Chef Tammasak hosts private dinners, weddings and corporate gatherings in a dedicated event space with an outdoor courtyard and a private barbecue terrace, and can cater off-site.
PRU at Trisara
The Reserve, a ten-seat private room set inside a wine cellar of more than 200 labels, with a full-venue buyout available for larger events at the Trisara resort.
Tatonka
An institution since 1996 that takes private parties with a personally designed menu, plus a private courtyard that separates off for smaller functions near Boat Avenue.
If none of these fit, the west coast alternative is a private chef in your villa, which trades a designed restaurant room for the convenience of staying in. For a night out with a real room, a cellar and a bar, a restaurant buyout is the stronger choice.
A private room, a private floor, or the whole house, built to share and running late near Laguna and Bang Tao.
