    Big Chicken Restaurant Phuket

    Krua Thung Thong in Kathu (Big Chicken Restaurant)

      Big Chicken Restaurant (Thung Thong Restaurant) is one of our three favourite venues in Kathu. If you drove past the Phuket Country Club in the past twenty years, you certainly saw that massive chicken statue on the side of the road.
