How can I make my open-air dining experience more enjoyable for a large group in Phuket?

When dining with a large group, consider choosing restaurants that offer spacious outdoor seating and a diverse menu to cater to everyone's tastes.

• Places like the Phuket Elephant Sanctuary Café or large beachfront venues are great as they can accommodate groups and provide a relaxed atmosphere.

• You might also want to call ahead to make a reservation, ensuring your group can sit together comfortably, especially during peak dining times.

Opening days, menus and prices change. Check recent information, confirm dietary needs directly and judge cleanliness, food turnover and storage rather than relying only on a high online rating.
