There are a number of very good reasons to travel abroad, and a number of excellent reasons to visit Phuket. Not only is Phuket a beach lover’s paradise it is also an exciting vibrant place with a relaxing atmosphere during the day and a definite party atmosphere in the evening.

One thing that really stands out in Phuket is the food. The restaurants in Phuket invariably of outstanding value (we’re talking a full meal for $2 or so) and of phenomenal quality. I could write about how good the restaurants in Phuket are but I fear I would run out of superlatives.

Patong – the tourist capital of little Phuket – is perhaps not the best place to experience the local food .Unfortunately the food here is priced to the tourists wallet, and that is the primary concern. To experience the best in local restaurants in Phuket one has to leave the tourist areas and start to rub shoulders with the locals in places like Phuket town. Wherever you choose to eat you can be certain that you will not have to travel far to eat the kind of food that you want.

If you’re not into the local food (perhaps it’s too spicy?) then there are plenty of restaurants in Phuket that serve excellent Western food. There really is something for everyone here.
