Why go, and how to do it well
Kruvit Raft is a floating seafood restaurant on wooden rafts off Phuket's east coast, facing Koh Maphrao. You park at Laem Hin Pier in Koh Kaew and a longtail boat runs you out in a few minutes.
Live seafood swims in pools on the raft. Phuket 101 orders the steamed crab, the deep-fried sea bass with garlic and the stir-fried squid with salted egg, while reviewers mention blue crab and big grilled prawns. The sunset over the water is part of the draw, and prices run a bit higher than on land.

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.
