Phuket, Thailand, August 31, 2023 / TRAVELINDEX / On September 11, 2023, Travelindex will announce the winners of its TOP25 Restaurants Phuket Awards 2023, highlighting the most popular restaurants that illustrate why the Thai island is a popular destination for foodies and gourmets.

The 2023 awards ceremony will take place at the renowned InterContinental Resort & Spa Phuket. This is the first in-person awards ceremony in Phuket, as the city's 25 best restaurants were previously announced exclusively online. The announcement is also expected to be made on Instagram, Threads, and X.

“We are delighted to announce the 2023 winners in Phuket,” said Bernard Metzger, founder of the TOP25 restaurant guide series. “Phuket’s best restaurants consistently impress their guests with the outstanding and delicious food served on the island. We are thrilled to celebrate their achievements and can’t wait to showcase some new discoveries.”

On the day of the awards ceremony, we will find out which restaurants in Phuket are among the top 25 and who the chefs are who have received this prestigious award. The list of winners, as well as all nominated and winning restaurants, will then be published online.

Since 2018, the annual list and awards have been based on AI-powered data and the "Restaurant Rating Index" developed and patented by Travelindex. This multi-stage rating system combines collective intelligence (social media and review portals) with behavioral artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms, complemented by the expertise of local professionals. This results in a truly objective standard for evaluation and measurement.

The Restaurant Rating Index is a recognized benchmark for evaluating restaurants, and chefs strive to be included in the top 25, as this enhances the restaurant's reputation and attracts more guests. The listed restaurants consistently offer an unforgettable culinary experience.
