Answer
While street food is a staple in Phuket, you'll find some gluten-free options if you know where to look. Look for vendors selling fresh fruit, grilled meats, and seafood, as these items are often naturally gluten-free.
• For a more specific option, try the grilled chicken skewers (satay) or fresh salads made with local ingredients. Just remember to ask the vendor about sauces or marinades, as they may contain gluten.
• To avoid cross-contamination, it's best to choose vendors who prepare food fresh on the spot rather than those that pre-cook items. Always communicate clearly about your dietary needs, and don't hesitate to ask about gluten-free preparations.
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.
