There are destinations where finding Halaal food requires careful planning, screenshots, translations and a backup packet of biscuits in your hotel room.
Phuket is not one of them.
Beyond its turquoise water, limestone bays and famous beaches, Thailand’s largest island has a deeply rooted Muslim community and an impressive Halaal food culture. Thai-Muslim cooking is part of Phuket’s culinary identity, while the island’s popularity with international travellers has brought Turkish, Indian, Arabic and other Halaal cuisines into the mix.
The result? You can start the morning tearing crisp roti into a fragrant beef curry, spend lunch over Southern Thai dishes, and finish the day with Turkish kebabs or fresh seafood.
For Muslim travellers, Phuket can be an exceptionally rewarding place to eat.
Here are some of the places worth putting on your foodie itinerary.
1. Roti Chaofa — Phuket Town
Best for: An authentic Thai-Muslim breakfast
If there is one meal worth sacrificing your hotel breakfast buffet for, make it breakfast at Roti Chaofa.
This wonderfully unpretentious Phuket Town institution has been feeding locals Thai-Muslim breakfasts for more than 35 years. MICHELI
