A guide to food in Phuket

Yeap, I went up north to Phuket and had a splendid time over there. Although it being rainy season right now, there is actually plenty of tourists there from Japan, China, Westerners and surprisingly Middle Easterners as well.

If you are like me, a person who likes to explore local food, you should really try out this place in Patong, located off Bangla road (the most happening road in Patong), in a road called Raj-U-Thid Rd.
(Lat 7°53'43.29"N, Long 98°17'55.17"E)

For those who do not have these, sweat not! Come in from the beach onto Bangla Road, walk till the end of the road (you will see that famous Muay Thai place on your right), turn left and walk further for about 5 - 8 mins and voila! you will see a lot of food places on your left. Take your time to select which outlet you want to try out, the workers tend to be quite pushy but a polite no will turn them away.

Here is what I had for under 1000 baht (approx RM 100) for a total of 5 dishes plus 2 drinks.


Tom Yum Goong for starters (big bowl enough for two) with some mix vege in the background



Fish cooked in Chilli Sauce



Lala with Pepper Sauce



Grilled Prawns with Chilli
