When clients ask for "somewhere special" to eat in Phuket, Three Monkeys is one of the easiest yes-answers an agent has. It is a jungle restaurant and bar set inside Hanuman World, 80 metres up among century-old trees, where the tables are scattered across treehouse decks, rooftop romantic corners and lamp-lit pavilions. It photographs beautifully, it suits couples and groups alike, and as a Thailand DMC for travel agents we lock the best zones and the celebration set-ups before your clients even land.
What is Three Monkeys Phuket?
Three Monkeys is an open-air rainforest dining destination in Wichit, on the edge of Phuket Town, built into the canopy of the island's top outdoor attraction, Hanuman World. The kitchen runs Thai cuisine alongside Western, Japanese and Bali-fusion dishes — from Tom Yum and papaya salad to Australian beef tenderloin, Norwegian salmon sashimi and chocolate fondant. It is open daily from 10:00 to 01:00, holds a 4.9 guest rating across 50,000+ visitors, and offers free parking. The draw is the setting: jungle views, warm light and a genuinely different mood in every seating zone.
Know the dining zones
The single most useful thing an agent can understand here is that the seating is the product — each zone sells a different evening, so match it to the client:
- Monkey Dome (2–4 guests) — a glass dome for couples; the headline photo spot.
- Monkey Nest (2–6 guests) — the signature elevated corner perched over the canopy.
- Bamboo Pavilion, Monkey Hill Top, Zone 6 & Zone 7 (up to ~50 guests) — group and event spaces under the trees, ideal for families and celebrations.
- Rooftop Romantic Zone (up to ~40) and the Exclusive Romantic Area (2–4) — panoramic seating with live entertainment.
- Indoor and outdoor open seating — air-conditioned or alfresco, no minimum group size.
Most premium zones are held against a reservation deposit that is redeemable against the bill — effectively a minimum spend that secures the table. Explera confirms the current terms and holds the zone for you.
The celebration experiences
For honeymoons, birthdays and proposals, Three Monkeys runs purpose-built packages — and this is where an agent adds real value. There is an Ultimate Dinner experience (a curated romantic table set-up with decorations and professional photo & video coverage), an Ultimate Birthday set-up (ice-cream cake and a balloon arch), and a "Will You Marry Me?" proposal package (proposal set-up, romantic decorations and a dedicated photogenic zone). Included in these is the reserved romantic setting, the themed decorations, and the photo/video or cake elements. Excluded are à la carte food and drink beyond any stated minimum, transfers unless specified, and gratuities. All require at least one day's advance booking — Explera confirms exactly what each contains on your quotation.
How to package it for clients
Three Monkeys works best as an evening centrepiece: pair a daytime Phuket programme — beaches, Old Town or the Big Buddha — with a golden-hour arrival for dinner. Because it sits up a jungle access road, a timed private transfer from our Thailand DMC transport team is the single biggest quality upgrade, especially for the late finish. It also slots neatly beside our wider Thailand DMC tours and activities for travel agents and any same-day adventure at Hanuman World next door.
