Organising a kosher stay in Phuket
| Need | What to do |
|---|---|
| Shabbat meals | Book with Chabad before Thursday |

Choosing your area
Patong is the liveliest, Kata and Karon are calmer, and Phuket Old Town is the most cultural. The choice depends mainly on the distance to Chabad and to shops: ask them. To compare, see Patong and apartments for long stays. To choose a type of stay, read hotel, villa or resort in Phuket.
How to check that a place is kosher
Ask for the supervision certificate (hechsher) and the name of the authority that issued it. Thai dishes often contain fish sauce, shrimp or pork. For an alternative, see gluten-free and vegan Phuket.
