Best Pad Thai & Tom Yum in Phuket (Boat Avenue, Little Siam)

The Best Pad Thai and Tom Yum in Phuket — Little Siam, Boat Avenue

If you're chasing the best Pad Thai in Phuket — or the best Tom Yum in Phuket — Little Siam is worth the trip to Boat Avenue in Choeng Thale, near Bang Tao Beach. Both are made the traditional way, from fresh local ingredients and proper Thai technique, not a tourist-menu shortcut. Whether you searched "best Pad Thai near Bang Tao" or just "Pad Thai in Phuket," this is where locals and regulars send you..

Best Tom Yum in Phuket: The Classic Tom Yam

Our Tom Yam is the classic hot and sour Thai soup, infused with lemongrass, galangal, kaffir lime leaves and fresh chili — the dish most people mean when they ask for "the best Tom Yum in Phuket." Prefer something milder and creamier? Our Tom Kha Kai is a rich, aromatic chicken coconut soup built on the same aromatics — galangal, lemongrass, kaffir lime leaves — for a gentler, coconut-forward alternative.

Best Pad Thai in Phuket: Mee Ka Ti (Rama II Style)

Our Mee Ka Ti is a traditional Pad Thai made Rama II style, available with shrimp or chicken — stir-fried rice noodles balanced between sweet, sour and salty, the way it's meant to taste. If you'd rather go the seafood route, our Pad Si-ew Talay stir-fries flat rice noodles with seafood in a black soy sauce for a smokier, richer alternative to classic Pad Thai.

Fresh seafood, straight from the Andaman

Seafood is where Little Siam really shows off. Specialties include:

• Mahasamut — Andaman lobster, shrimp, squid, mussels and seabass, served with seafood sauce and garlic butter white sauce.
• Phuket Lobster — grilled fresh lobster, served with seafood sauce and garlic butter white sauce.
• Koong Yang — grilled fresh shrimp (12 pieces), served with seafood sauce.
• Meuk Yang — grilled fresh squid with seafood sauce and garlic butter.
• Talay Pad Horapa — stir-fried mixed seafood with onions, chili and sweet basil.
• Pla Luay Suan — fried seabass with coconut milk, chili paste and Thai herbs.

A taste of Southern Thailand

For something bolder, our Khua Kling Nuea — stir-fried Argentinian beef in a Southern Thai curry — brings the drier, more intensely spiced style of Southern Thai cooking to Bang Tao, a style you won't find on every Thai menu in Phuket.
