Phuket, Thailand, July 9, 2021 – Just in time for the reopening of Phuket and with the support of the Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT), Travelindex has officially launched the Phuket edition of its renowned restaurant guide: “Top 25 Restaurants Phuket – the Master Affluent Dining Guide on Phuket”, now available in 6 key gastronomic destinations across the Asia-Pacific region.

The "Top 25 Phuket" restaurant guide showcases not just gourmet cuisine, but the best of all culinary styles. Each restaurant was selected primarily for the quality of its food and dishes. From Michelin-starred tasting menus and exquisite, authentic Peranakan cuisine to the best grilled seafood you've ever tasted, Phuket has established itself as a premier destination for food lovers.

The diversity of Phuket's cuisine is reflected in the ranking of the top 25 restaurants in Phuket; from classic French and Italian restaurants to hyper-local and authentic Phuket restaurants.

Top25Restaurants.com celebrates the exquisite gastronomy of each city, highlighting its culinary diversity, emerging trends, and chefs who utilize local produce. Top 25 Restaurants contributes to the prestige of the local food scene and, through its integration into the global Travelindex ecosystem, attracts more visitors and tourists to each destination.

To ensure the credibility and impartiality of the ranking, the "Top 25 Restaurants Guide Phuket" is based on a world-leading rating system, the Restaurant Rating Index (RRI). The RRI is an AI-powered, decentralized rating mechanism that combines behavioral analysis with the expertise of some of the world's leading culinary experts.

Bernard Metzger, founder of the Top25Restaurants guide series, explained: “We are committed to supporting the gastronomy and hotel industry in Phuket through the use of digital technologies and our online expertise. Our goal is not only to help restaurants recover from the effects of the Covid pandemic, but also to empower the population to adopt a healthier lifestyle and better diet, while simultaneously increasing the appeal of Thai cuisine and tradition.”

Thanks to the Phuket Sandbox program, the Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) expects 100,000 foreign tourists to visit Phuket in the third quarter of 2021 (July to September), generating 8.9 billion baht in revenue for the local economy. Several major airlines, including Etihad, Emirates, Singapore Airlines, and Thai Airways International (THAI), already offer direct flights from Phuket to major cities such as London, Frankfurt, Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and Singapore.
