Phuket (ภูเก็ต), pronounced "Poo-get", is Thailand's largest island and also its second smallest province. It is 48 km in length, 21 km at its widest, and is located in Southern Thailand, on the west-facing Andaman Sea coastline, suspended from the southern tip of Phang Nga Province by a pair of short but substantial road bridges.
Phuket Town is the administrative centre of Phuket Province, and the island's main population centre.

Kra Jok See Restaurant Phuket Town

The Kra Jok See in Phuket town is a one of a kind place on the island. It is very small and has no sign on the door, though it is listed in the phone book. There are only about 8 tables and they only do one seating per night. This is a place to go with a date/spouse because after dinner (which is very good traditional Thai) the mix-master starts spining some cool tunes, and the waitress, a former professional dancer from France, starts going around the room and dragging people from their chairs and onto the floor. She is an excellent dancer and can make even the most clod-footed clown feel like Fred Astaire. Soon the whole restaurant knows each other and everyone is dancing. Arrive at 7:30 - 8:00 PM and plan to stay until midnight. A vert nice alternative to the bad discos at the beach.
