Morning or evening?
- Evening: lanes are lit, markets open. The Baba Tastes tour meets at the Jui Tui shrine on Soi Phutorn; see the Jui Tui temple.
- Morning: the market and the town's stalls; some stalls close early, so morning is more complete.
What you eat
Listings mention Hokkien noodles, massaman curry and desserts including "Oh Aew" shaved ice. Phuket cooking is Sino-Portuguese (Peranakan) and southern Thai: see also the Phuket Old Town and the Old Town guide.
Diets and allergies
The tour with Jane is not suitable for vegans, vegetarians or people with nut allergies, according to the listing. Mention any allergy when booking. During the vegetarian festival, the offer changes.
Choosing well
- First evening in Phuket: an evening tour in a small group.
- Culture as well: the morning formula with museums.
- Eat better alone afterwards: do the tour early in your stay.
- Rain: a food tour is still possible, see Phuket when it rains.
To learn to cook: Thai cooking class. On a Sunday, the Lard Yai market.
