Thai Food on Phuket and Beyond
 

Thai cuisine is now one of the most popular in the world.

The great variety and contrasts of the cuisine appeal to so many people in so many different cultures. There is no doubt that the very best way to enjoy Thai food is to come to Thailand. And here is Phuket the standard of Thai cooking is high, with the number of establishments offering Thai food in its many different forms numerous indeed, and varied.

Restaurants range from the grand and somewhat expensive to little street-side stalls. And excellent food can be found on both – if you know where to look and what to look for.

The popular interest in Thai food has been catered to over the years by Phuket Magazine, which has published scores of interesting stories on many aspects of this cuisine by knowledgeable writers.

In the following pages we will offer a selection of the best of those stories, along with some of our fine photography.

Our restaurant listing is on a separate page, giving names, addresses and contacts, with a brief summary of the establishment and its food.

Restaurant Reviews - stories and photographs of the better stablishments that have appeared in PHUKET MAGAZINE – also appear on separate pages.
