Phuket's seven-colour spiny lobster, caught in the Andaman and GI-protected since January 2026, served grilled, stir-fried or in southern Thai curries.

Phuket's seven-colour lobster received Geographical Indication status in January 2026, tying the catch and its quality to the island. The province promotes it through the Phuket Lobster Festival, which reached its 11th edition in 2026, with a month of lobster menus across more than 122 restaurants every August. Hotel dining rooms and tasting-menu kitchens now cook it with southern Thai flavours, from stir-fries to spicy curries.
