Krua Kao Kuk

A Local Thai Restaurant in Phuket Town

Krua Kao Kuk is a hidden gem on the outskirts of Phuket Town, praised for its simple and delicious southern Thai cuisine. Founded by a Peranakan family in 1995, it’s a favourite among locals for fresh seafood dishes, vegetables with ginger, and classic Thai comfort food like omelettes and pork belly.

This shophouse restaurant is budget-friendly and even earned a Michelin Plate in 2020 for its quality cooking. Expect a casual atmosphere where you can try authentic recipes passed down through generations. The restaurant is so modest, it’s quite hard to find and looks very basic, with the cooking station open on one side of the restaurant. The setting is basic, with those classic concrete tables you will often find in local restaurants.

I arrived in Phuket in 1994 and have never left... After travelling through 40+ countries and working with Club Med and Expedia, I launched Phuket 101 in 2011 to share what I've explored, discovered and learned. Everything here comes from personal experience, with my own photography and videos from across Thailand.View Author posts
