If you're on the hunt for authentic street food, you can't miss 'Nai Harn Beach Market'. It's a bit off the tourist path but packed with local flavors, offering everything from grilled seafood to spicy salads.

• Another great spot is 'Chalong Market', which comes alive in the evenings. Here, you can try local favorites like 'Moo Pad Krapow' (stir-fried basil pork) and a variety of curries that locals swear by.

• For a truly unique experience, check out the tiny food stalls on Soi Romanee in Old Phuket Town. They serve up traditional snacks like 'Bua Loy' and fresh fruit juices, all in a charming, rustic setting.

Opening days, menus and prices change, especially in quieter months. Check recent information, confirm dietary requirements directly and use busy, well-kept stalls or restaurants where food is cooked and stored properly.
