Local Dining Tips

When dining in Phuket, be prepared for spicy flavors in many traditional dishes, but don't hesitate to ask for a milder version if you prefer. To experience an authentic Thai meal, try eating like the locals by using a spoon and fork instead of chopsticks. For a unique dining experience, consider booking a sunset dinner cruise around Phang Nga Bay, where you can enjoy a meal while taking in the stunning scenery.

One restaurant not to miss is Raya Restaurant in Phuket Town, known for its classic Thai dishes and charming ambiance.
