Enjoy the mix of Thai and Chinese cuisines in Phuket

While you are in Phuket, you should take the opportunity to taste some real southern Thai food such as Gaeng massaman and panaeng, both types of delicious curry. Southern Thai food uses large amount of coconut milk to prepare food. Curries are usually rich in taste and ingredients and also creamier. The cuisine of Phuket is influenced by nearby Malaysia and uses spices such as cumin, cloves, turmeric and aniseed, which is uncommon in most of the foods in Thailand. There is also less consumption of pork as compared to other parts of Thailand.

In Phuket, as many of the locals are descendants of Chinese migrants, the cuisine in Phuket has a strong Chinese influence. In combination with southern Thai food and Muslim food, Chinese cuisine makes a very unique and interesting cuisine.
