Takua Pa Old Town ★ 4.4

Takua Pa Old Town is Phuket's tin-mining twin up the coast: a Sino-Portuguese street whose morning market serves Hokkien dim sum and khanom buang from 05:00.

TipGo on a Sunday: eat the morning market before 08:30, then stay for the evening walking street along the old shophouse roads.

Koh Panyee (Ko Panyi) ★ 3.9

Koh Panyee is a Muslim fishing village on stilts in Phang Nga Bay, a boat trip from Phuket, where a dozen waterfront kitchens serve seafood lunches.

TipArrive before 10:00 to beat the day-tour boats from Phuket, and check the bill on set menus, which run well above what locals pay.

Koh Yao Noi ★ 4.3

Koh Yao Noi sits in Phang Nga Bay a short boat ride from Phuket, with stilted seafood houses over the mangroves and family kitchens cooking the day's catch.

TipRent a motorbike to hop between the west-coast seafood houses for a late lunch; it is a Muslim island, and many local restaurants sell no alcohol.

Khao Lak (Bang Niang Market) ★ 3.8

Khao Lak's Bang Niang Market, a drive north of Phuket, sets out a couple of hundred stalls four afternoons a week, famous for its pork ribs and khao mok gai.

TipIt trades Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday only, from 14:00; come in the late afternoon for the fullest spread of food stalls.
