Phuket is well known for its nightlife, shopping, and beaches but it is also a culinary haven with exotic foods and beverages. There is a long history of foreign trade in Phuket which had helped Phuket in creating a vibrant tradition of food called Peranakan or Baba. It’s a combination of Thai royale cuisines with dishes from Malay, Europe and Southern China states. Such cuisines are delicious and can be easily found on street food stalls and five-star restaurants as well. Here’s a list of dishes that you should try when you visit Phuket:
