Ko Tee Sangkasi, listed in the Michelin Guide for Phuket, is a small restaurant on the outskirts of Phuket Town. The place has a red‑brown zinc roof, plastic chairs, and Pepsi‑Cola table covers, as is often the case in local restaurants. It’s always busy because the food is simple and really good.

San Chao Mae Yanang Shrine, stands on Krabi Road in Phuket Town. A Chinese migrant founded the temple in 1853 during Phuket’s tin-mining boom, when many Chinese families settled on the island and brought their beliefs and rituals with them.

Jok Samui Restaurant sits near the Jui Tui Temple intersection where Ranong Road meets Pattiphat Road in Phuket Town. The small shophouse is old and packed with character. Faded green tiles, humming ceiling fans, and two stainless steel tables set the scene for bowls of comfort that draw a crowd each night.
Ratsada Road (Rassada Road) sits just a few blocks north of the more photographed streets like Thalang and Dibuk, but it’s a stretch we often find ourselves returning to.

Khaotha Cafe is one of those places that’s easy to miss but worth finding. It’s on Ranong Road, just next to the central market in Phuket Town — not far from where the old blue songtaew buses line up to take you to the beaches.
