Blue Elephant is the upmarket version: a restored governor's mansion and a menu built around Phuketian and royal Thai cooking. Order Moo Hong here for polish and setting, not for the cheapest plate. — Krabi Road

12:00-13:30 for lunch in the mansion or 18:00-19:30 for a slower dinner; book ahead.

Nam Yoi is a locals' Southern Thai restaurant where braised pork fits naturally into a spicy shared table. Access is less tourist-smooth, but the reward is a meal that feels outside the Old Town heritage circuit. — Ratsada

Ka Jok See is a long-running Phuket Town dinner room where local Thai dishes sit inside a more theatrical night out. Choose it only if the group wants atmosphere with Moo Hong rather than a low-cost local lunch. — Old Phuket Town
