Phuket is famed for its rich culture, and that also extends to its ever-growing culinary scene. Here are the winners of Phuket’s TOP25 Restaurants Awards 2023.
The glistening beaches, the beautiful Sino-Portuguese architecture, the frighteningly high possibility of Russians taking over—there’s a lot of reasons why many choose Phuket as a holiday destination, especially when summer rolls around. As the island offers its occupants robust natural resources, the island has also become a gastronomic destination. The culinary diversity coupled with the rich community products are things that deserve to be recognised and celebrated.
