Experience food tours in
Phuket with Withlocals

"We, two adults and child of 12, booked Pai on short notice. We had some specific requests, like halal options and vegetarian foods. We ate in spotlessly clean local joints, with explanations and lots of laughs about the food we were eating. She was attentive to our daughter as well, making her feel welcome and included in all the choices, particularly the amazing desserts! She answered every random question about Thai culture and people and was well paced. My only caution would be to make sure you don't eat too fast, or too much in your first stop, leave lots of room. The meals will leave you stuffed! "

"Neena is an empathic guide who goes beyond the usual. While we signed up for a food tasting, we learnt a lot more—about her personal history, the history of the people of Phuket, the city, and everything that makes it so charming, including its sino-Portuguese architecture. Of course, she has great insights on local food and took us to eateries travellers usually don’t visit. She is well travelled herself, which enables her to weave in different cultural contexts in the course of conversation. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Phuket. "

"We loved this food tour with Neena! Not only did she take us to some restaurants we would never have found ourselves, she also gave a lot of interesting information about Phuket and Thai culture in general! I myself am a vegetarian, but my 3 friends are not, Neena went above and beyond to make sure that we all had an amazing tasting-experience! 5-star-plus-tour! :) "

"It was lovely to meet Pathu and to have her show us around some of the top local food spots in Phuket old town. You should go hungry as there is a LOT of food! She is really knowledgeable about the local area and we thoroughly enjoyed our time with her. Highly recommended!"

"This was my first time using withlocals. The local I booked with turned out to be busy so one of the other withlocals workers took me and my wife on a tour of food in Phuket. It was all very delicious and as an added bonus got a lot of good history/local information."

"Great route of local delights, new and interesting experiences. Ruetai also provides some cultural background."

"We decided to do a 10 tasting tour with Ruetai but weren’t sure what to expect. To our delight we had chosen Ruetai who not only showed us the many different cultural food scenes in Phuket town but had us all laughing and enjoying each experience! We were quite stuffed by the end of the tour and congratulating ourselves for choosing Ruetai as our guide. She was phenomenal;)"

"We had a great afternoon being taken around Phuket Old Town by Ruetai (Pai). She was super fun, easy to talk to, and very knowledgeable about Phuket & its amazing food. Loved that all the places were local spots and not touristy, special shout out to the Grapow which was delicious. The tour was a good mix of small bites with walking in between, and we were definitely left very full at the end! "

"Exploring the old town of Phuket with Pai was an unforgettable experience! Pai is hands down one of the best tour guides I’ve ever had. Her kindness, extensive knowledge, professionalism, and flexibility truly set her apart. She took the time to ensure we didn’t feel rushed, tailoring the tour to meet our specific interests and needs. Pai’s ability to connect with her clients and her passion for sharing the beauty and history of Phuket made the tour exceptionally enjoyable. I highly recommend her to anyone looking to discover the hidden gems of Phuket."

"Pathu is an excellent guide. We are English speaking and Pathu’s command of our language is admirable. She informed us of many things we did not know about Phuket and we left with bellies full of delicious foods we would never have tried and minds full of knowledge we would never have gained. Do it. You will not regret it. "
