Thai food is famous all around the world and trying local restaurants should really be be part of your Thai experience. Phuket food is generally more spicy than in the rest of Thailand. Popular dishes are Tom Yum Koong (Spicy sour prawn soup), Tom Ka Kai (Chicken soup with coconut milk), Som Tam (Green papaya salad), Hor Mok (fish mousse), Kuay Tiew (Noodle soup), Pad Thai and more. If you can't eat spicy just say "Mai Pet" (not spicy). But best of all, Phuket is famous for its amazing seafood!
