If you're in the mood for authentic Thai cuisine that won't break the bank, look no further than Konim Thai Food.

Read moreI ate here three times during my week in Bang Tao and honestly if I knew about it early it would have been everyday.
My local friend showed me this spot and I will say it's the best Thai I've had in the entire Phuket.
The price is low, especially for Bang Tao but the quality, care and detail to flavours is amazing.
We got the Tom Yum Rice, fantastic and the Tamrin Prawns, I got it in Chicken the following night. Just non-stop delicious.
The cook use to work at a hotel and you can tell she really cares about what's on her plates.
