The Slate in Phuket Thailand, is another incredible Bill Bensley designed hotel and is leading the way in the wellness arena in Thailand with its new Be Original Light Hearted Dining or BOLD initiative in terms of dining. The hotel has also introduced a science and medical based Wellness Offering for every guest who can have their body thoroughly checked upon arrival to ascertain how their health is tracking. Last year marijuana was de-criminalised in Thailand, and The Slate has jumped on the opportunity to offer a sophisticated cannabis dining experience. The restaurant serves a 5 course degustation where dishes as well as drinks use various parts of the cannabis plant including the flowers, seeds and leaves to create a unique and powerful dining experience.
