Whatever your taste in food, from traditional English Pub food to French Fine Dining, you will find it in Patong. Of course, Thai food is also widely available, and is of the highest quality. Most nationalities and their foods are represented in Patong, including some less well known ones such as Swedish, Norwegian and Russian. Wherever you come from you will find some kind of food you recognize in Patong.

Most restaurants in Patong will offer a menu which consists of the particular nationality of food they specialize in, alongside a full range of Thai favorites. This is extremely useful when you are entertaining that young lady you met last night, as most Thai people are somewhat fussy when it comes to trying anything but Thai food.

When it comes to Thai food you have two options open to you. You can either head for one of the expensive, top of the range Thai restaurants, or you can follow the locals and find a cheap food stall on the side of the road. Both options will guide you to the best in Thai food, although the experience will be different with each. Do not forget that Phuket is an island, this means that the locally caught seafood is often exceptional.
