🍜 Where to Eat in Phuket – From Fine Dining to Street Food

Phuket is a food lover’s paradise — you can dine by candlelight on the beach one night and eat sizzling satay skewers from a local market the next. The island’s mix of Thai, Chinese, and Muslim influences makes every meal an adventure.

✨ My experience: I tried everything from elegant seafront dinners to simple noodle stalls and honestly — some of the best meals came from plastic chairs under fairy lights!
