Learn the Spice Scale

Say 'mai pet' for no spice, 'pet nit noi' for a little spice, or 'pet mak' if you want it Thai-hot. Most cooks will default to a toned-down version for foreigners unless you specify otherwise.

Why go, and how to do it well

Perched within the V Villas resort on Ao Yon Road in Wichit, this rooftop bar and lounge draws visitors for its striking panoramic views over Phuket and its polished evening atmosphere. Set away from the island's busier tourist corridors, it offers a quieter, more refined alternative for travelers seeking an elegant night out rather than high-energy beachfront scenes.

Guests can expect a curated cocktail menu alongside food and dining, with visitors noting beautifully presented dishes and fresh ingredients. The atmosphere leans sophisticated and social, making it a popular choice for date nights or a relaxed evening of drinks with views. As with most venues of this style, experience can vary — some visitors have noted inconsistencies in service and food quality, so managing expectations beyond the visuals is reasonable.

Reviews from Google

Akoya is an amazing spot with stunning city views that make every moment feel special. The food was absolutely delicious—beautifully presented and full of flavor. I especially loved how fresh everything tasted. The atmosphere was relaxed yet elegant, perfect for a night out. I’ll definitely be coming back!

The pictures speak for itself, incredible atmosphere and breathe taking views. Would have loved to try more of their cuisine next time but we came here mainly for drinks.

It was quite a disappointment on the service and food. The ambience was kinda affected with the ugly construction crane. Food was terrible, calamari arrived at room temperature, extremely overpriced wanton/dumpling which they wrongly named as gyoza, tuna taco has this disgusting sauce that made it horrible. Only cheeseboard was pretty good. Cocktails were alright and generally price around 600baht and the wines minimally on the average of 3000baht per bottle. Service was just disappointing, we arrived early and it was scorching hot. Trying to take some photos and hence probably just need 3mins on the empty sunbed for a quick photos. Despite the manpower, they fail to do basic services like noticing the lack of tissue and cutleries. Did not bother to offer clearing plates in time and when cake was served they didn't even take the initiative to provide extra clean plates and spoon for us to consume. We have to repeatedly call for service and assistance. But well they were fast at one thing, refilling our wine and ask if we need another bottle :) Highly recommend not to specially travel (we came from Nai Hern area almost 1 hour drive work traffic) There will definitely be much better views at many other places and especially much better food and service and not forcing you to spent 2000baht per pax in advance for such low standard service.

Tips for Visiting Restaurants & Food

Follow the Crowds

The busiest street stalls are almost always the best — high turnover means fresh ingredients and a recipe that locals vouch for. An empty restaurant at dinner time is a red flag.

Ice Is Safe

Factory-made tube or cylinder ice (used in virtually all restaurants and stalls) is made from purified water and is safe to consume. You don't need to skip the iced Thai tea.

Use Grab for Delivery

The Grab app works for food delivery across Thailand, letting you order from street stalls and restaurants alike. It's invaluable on rainy days or when you want to eat in your hotel.
