Chuan Chim — Restaurant in Ratsada

We usually change restaurants everyday but ended up having dinner there 6 days in a row.

Yes, the food wait time is long. The food is worth the wait for me.

Yes, don’t sit outside or cockroaches might come after you.

Yes, they have a foreigner menu that’s about 20% higher price. It’s funny that one day we took the Thai menu and ordered, but the boy still charges us foreigner price. The price is still reasonable for tourists but maybe a bit high for locals / expats living here for long time.

Yes, some dishes might not be as good. We need to know what to order.

Chuan Chim is a Michelin-rated restaurant in Phuket that serves delicious Thai cuisine. The menu is varied, and the food is beautifully presented with a focus on flavor and freshness. I particularly enjoyed the spicy seafood soup, which had a perfect balance of heat and sourness.

It's worth noting that the restaurant can get quite busy, and during peak hours, the wait for food can be longer than expected. However, if you're patient and enjoy the atmosphere, it's well worth the wait. Additionally, the restaurant has been recognized by Michelin in the past, so you know you're in for a treat.
