Picture the scene: you’re on holiday in Phuket, Thailand. You are walking down the centre of the road in Phuket town. You can smell the Thai food drifting from the food stalls and Hawker stalls that literally line the road. Every mall you enter has a food center in it. All this food smells fantastic and is prepared by experienced chefs who love good food. Imagine that a meal costs under $2.

Sound good? This is the reality.

I have been to Phuket twice now and both times I have been utterly mesmerized at the variety and quality of the food available in the restaurants in Phuket. Not only can you get traditional Thai food but there are plenty of restaurants in Phuket dealing with food from other nations. And it’s all great, with very few exceptions.

The key to the restaurants in Phuket is that everyone eats out, because it is so affordable. As the locals demand great quality food at reasonable prices you can, if you go to the right area, piggy back this and get the same food at the same price.

Going to up market restaurants in Phuket is definitely possible but you will pay for the privilege of being in the restaurant rather than for the food itself.
