Cooking class and tours
The halal Thai cooking class with a market visit (about 4 hours, small group) advertises 100% halal ingredients and utensils according to the organiser's listing, which we did not verify. Some boat tours advertise a halal lunch or a halal restaurant on Phi Phi Don island: confirm it when booking. For local cooking in general, see the Thai cooking class in Phuket and the Old Town food tour, which does not state a halal policy.
Where to stay
Patong is closest to the Arab quarter: see where to stay in Patong. For an all-inclusive stay, see all-inclusive hotels in Phuket.
