Phuket restaurants serve all kinds of cuisine but finding real Thai food can be a little challenging. The large majority of the restaurants in the touristic areas of the island such as Patong Beach, Kata or Karon have been adjusting their tastes to accommodate first timers. You probably would never see Thai people eating in those places and it’s usually a sign.
Real Thai food is often found in more modest areas of Phuket and we list some great Local Thai Restaurants here. Phuket Seafood is also famous and you should really try the real thing without paying a fortune by checking out our list of Best Local Seafood Restaurants.
