;
8 Th Phang-Nga; dishes 120-280B; 2-11pm)
One of Phuket's
most stylish gems is set in an 80-year-old Sino-Portuguese relic and specialises in Thai
cuisine - including classic recipes rarely seen these days, with a French-International
twist. Meals are plated on gorgeous china, the room is glorious and the food is exception-
al.
Drinking & Nightlife
This is where you can party like a local. Bars buzz until late, patronised almost exclus-
ively by Thais and local expats.
Sanaeha
( 08 1519 8937; 83, 85 Th Yaowarat, Phuket Town; 6pm-late)
Sanaeha is an upscale bohemian
joint lit by seashell chandeliers, with plenty of dark corners where you can sip, snuggle,
snack and dig that soulful crooner on stage.
BAR
Timber Hut
( 0 7621 1839; 118/1 Th Yaowarat, Phuket Town; 6pm-2am)
Thai and expat locals have been
filling this old clubhouse every night for nearly 20 years. They gather at long wooden
tables on two floors, converge around thick timber columns, swill whiskey and sway to
live bands that swing from hard rock to funk to hip-hop.
CLUB
Juice Raw
JUICE
(91 Th Yaowarat; 10am-9pm)
A new and ambitious cafe serving fresh pressed hangover ton-
ics, pomelo-, tomato- or cucumber-based detox drinks and some outrageous smoothies.
The J Passion is a blend of passionfruit, dates, orange, ginger and banana. Carrot Lava
blends carrot, pineapple, ginger and almond milk. You can also customise your juice. As
if you could do better.
