Street food in Phuket is one of the most nuanced, complex and increasingly endangered in the country. An important port and trading post, the island was exposed to influences from China, India and the Malay Peninsula long before the rest of Thailand. The ingredients and cooking methods brought in morphed its cuisine into a fusion of Asian flavors found nowhere else.
