Discover Phuket's Hidden Gem: Ranong Road's Authentic Thai Cuisine
Discover Ranong Road, a hidden gem on Phuket, where authentic Thai cuisine meets affordability. This secret street offers a unique experience, untouched by mass tourism.
Ranong Road, shielded from tourists, serves up delicious meals at prices not seen in years. A full meal costs just 100-150 baht (around 200-300 rubles), a fraction of what you'd pay in tourist areas. The street's charm lies in its simplicity and genuine Thai atmosphere.
To enjoy Ranong Road, arrive between 6 and 9 am when the market is open and cafes have free seats. Dress modestly, respect local customs, and avoid photographing people or the street. Instead, capture the mouth-watering dishes like Shrimp Tom Yam, mango sticky rice, and Som Tam.
Cafe owners here don't provide English menus, a gentle deterrent to tourists. Instead, ask locals or use a translation app to order. Paying with the right hand is a sign of respect, and haggling is not expected.
Ranong Road offers a rare glimpse into the real Phuket, preserving its soul and authentic Thai culture. It's a must-visit for food enthusiasts seeking an affordable, genuine dining experience away from the tourist crowds.
