Green Hotel Phuket

Mor Mu Dong takes its name from its owner, Mor, and the Mu Dong Canal, where it is located. Nestled in a mangrove forest, it is housed in a set of rustic pavilions where diners can enjoy seafood and take in the views that change with the tide. In the open kitchen, tanks of live seafood affirm the freshness of the food. Order 3–4 vibrant dishes to share and enjoy the Southern Thai flavours bursting from them.

Customers with a sweet tooth and fans of deep-fried goodness line up here from 6am to get their daily fix. The deep-fried Patongko (dough sticks) and salapao are freshly prepared; the crunchy fries are golden-brown. It’s all very tasty; even without the dipping sauces.

The legacy of the original roadside stall lives on, thanks to the owner's granddaughter. Famous for its boiled rice with fish, this humble restaurant also serves a variety of other home-style dishes that are worth trying. The quality is clear in these bold-flavoured plates. The deep-fried meatballs, made to a family recipe, are a great start to the meal and go well with the fresh fish menu, which is cooked in a traditional Phuket style.

This unassuming gem serves around 30-40 juicy, tender charcoal-roasted ducks every day. Order a half or whole bird and savour the wholesome flavour and crispy skin fresh off the stove with either spicy-sour or tamarind sauce for dipping. Grilled chicken is sometimes an option, too.

The constantly busy Go Benz has been serving popular dishes, including their speciality pork with peppery broth and rolled rice noodles, for over 20 years – and it’s easy to see why it’s quite such a popular spot. Many of the dishes often sell out, like the fragrant dry boiled rice with crispy pork and tender pork offal. Also well worth ordering is the crispy pork with sweet soy sauce, which is seasoned wonderfully and has a lovely charcoal-grilled crust.

Having grown up working in his family's food business, Chef Buriphat always wanted to do something special with their recipes. Over the last few years, he has realised that vision, impressing diners with his honest interpretation of traditional Southern Thai-Peranakan cuisine. Check out the delicious stir-fried pork belly with herbs and sweet dark soy sauce, and be sure to try the pork rib soup with tofu and salted fish.

For over five years, Sunee’s street food stall has been renowned for its Khanom A Pong—delicious coconut crepes. Cooked in mini woks over charcoal, the crepes are unique for their light, crispy shell and soft centre—a perfect balance of sweetness and creamy coconut. Be sure to arrive early at this beloved stall to experience these irresistible snacks.
