Useful tips
- If you're going with several people, ordering a few signature dishes to share makes it easy to compare local seasonings and aromas.
- Travel times within the island are long, so it's better not to force beach areas and Phuket Town into the same day.
- The official introduction says Raya opened in 1994 and is housed in a Sino-Portuguese-style building more than 100 years old. When planning a Phuket Town itinerary, adding an Old Town architecture walk before or after your meal will keep the day from feeling too broken up.
- The official page gives a distance of about 31.7km from the airport and about 45 minutes by car. If you're making a round trip from a beach-area hotel, don't look only at meal time; set aside separate buffer time for the drive to Phuket Town.
