Phuket Old Town & Seafood — Peranakan Alleys and Lobsters
Phuket is an island where the culinary scene in the Old Town is just as strong as the beaches. Michelin Bib Gourmand local restaurants are clustered around Thalang Road, lined with Sino-Portuguese buildings, and the Walking Street Night Market opens on Sunday evenings. For seafood, the best value is to buy fresh ingredients at Rawai Fish Market and pay a cooking fee to have them prepared at a nearby restaurant. Plan your transportation based on Grab.
