BEACHES OF PHUKET

Phuket Beach Restaurants

Where to EAT ON THE BEACH in Phuket – Phuket Beach Restaurants

    Eating on the beach at one of Phuket’s beach restaurants is a great way to make the best of your tropical holiday. Thai food is excellent and cheap; the weather is warm all year round, the sea offers a fantastic backdrop, and the sand is so soft under your feet.

    Bangla Street Food

    Bangla Street Food in Patong Beach

      Bangla Street Food is the latest opening in Bangla Road, the heart of Patong nightlife. Street food is a smart move in this part of town. Bangla Street Food opens late, and it’s really casual. So it’s actually the perfect place before AND after the party. This is something really fantastic about Patong: you can party until 3 or even 4 am and still enjoy some seafood.

      Kalim Rimlay restaurant Phuket

      Kalim Rim Lay Restaurant in Kalim Beach

              Kalim Beach is a modest bay just next to the famous Patong Beach on the way to Kamala Beach. As the seafloor is mostly rocks and dead corals, Kalim is not a swimming beach but a popular spot for local surfers in the low season.

                                                                                        EAT Bar & Grill Phuket Restaurant is a tiny place on the second street of Karon Beach. Thankfully, many people talk about the restaurant.

                                                                                          Phuket Graceland Resort is one of the largest hotels on the island, with a staggering 600 rooms. The hotel location is unique as not many hotels in Patong Beach have the privilege of being so close to the beach.

                                                                                            The Surface rooftop bar at La Flora Hotel in Patong Beach is one of the few rooftops in Phuket, but as beach clubs did, the number seems to be growing.

                                                                                            Pak Phra Beach

                                                                                              Haad Pak Phra is the last beach you will see when leaving Phuket from the north end, and most people would drive past without ever stopping. But Haad Pak Phra has a little ‘Dirty Secret’.

                                                                                                Sai Kaew Beach (Haad Sai Kaew in Thai) is a beautiful, endless beach located north of Phuket Island, just past Mai Khao Beach and before Sarasin Bridge.
