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 above Rawai Road in southern Phuket, this rooftop restaurant offers a casual dining experience with elevated views over the surrounding neighborhood. Its position away from street level creates a more relaxed atmosphere than many of the busier spots closer to central Phuket, making it a comfortable choice for those based in or exploring the Rawai area. The mid-range pricing keeps it accessible for a wide range of travelers, whether stopping in for a relaxed lunch or settling in for an evening meal.

The venue operates seven days a week from 12:30 PM through to midnight, giving visitors considerable flexibility when planning their day. This consistency across all days of the week means there are no complicated schedules to navigate, which is particularly useful for travelers moving between destinations on varying timelines. The long operating window also suits those who prefer to eat later in the evening after a day of sightseeing or beach time.

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.
