Holidays in Phuket are famous for its crabs, oysters, prawns, lobster, squid and variety of fresh fish that are caught daily from the waters of the Andaman Sea. Food here is surprisingly cosmopolitan, especially in Patong Beach, as many foreigners have set up shops to cater to their fellow travellers. Some recommended restaurants while holidaying in Phuket are:

•    Baan Rim Pa: The cuisine here is Royal Thai and you can enjoy its specialties: lobster with black pepper, baked herb rice in pineapple and tiger prawns in tamarind sauce when holidaying in Phuket.

•    Regetta: Your craving for Italian food during your Phuket holidays will be satiated at this joint which serves some of the island’s best Italian cuisine. Specials include rabbit loin in ricotta crust and artichoke mousse with crab meat.

•    Silk: Contemporary Thai design is the backdrop for dishes such as white snapper with chilli and lime juice and roast duck red curry. Make this a visit for a super-sophisticated dining experience during your holiday in Phuket.

•    Ka Jok See:  The house specialty is goong-saroong – shrimp fried in vermicelli and served with a tangy mustard dip. No credit cards are accepted.
