What to expect
You'll start in the quieter neighbourhoods of old Phuket Town, where narrow lanes reveal shuttered mansions and active food vendors. Your guide will steer you toward lesser-known family kitchens and morning markets, explaining the Peranakan influences (blend of Chinese and Malay) woven through the town's cuisine. Expect to stand, taste, chat with shopkeepers, and eat properly—breakfast and lunch are built in, so pace yourself. The walking is steady but manageable; you're not hiking, just moving between spots. Bring comfortable shoes and a willingness to try unfamiliar textures and flavours.
