Editor’s Note

Many tourists visiting Phuket settle for just sun and sea, but to truly understand Phuket, you must enter the streets of “Old Town” and see what the locals eat. Do not leave without trying the Khao Tom Hang; it is very difficult to find this flavor so authentically elsewhere in Thailand. Make sure to come hungry—15 tastings is no joke!
