Why go, and how to do it well
PRU holds one Michelin star, the first and only star in the Phuket guide, plus a Michelin Green Star for sustainability. It sits inside the Trisara resort in Choeng Thale, near Naithon Beach on the northwest coast.
Chef and co-owner Jimmy Ophorst cooks a zero-waste tasting menu from hyper-local produce, a style he calls community-to-fork. Reviewers describe a seafood and meat menu alongside a vegetarian one, and a bar that looks straight into the kitchen. The Telegraph's tip is to book a kitchen-counter stool and watch the chefs work with the sunset behind them.

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.
