Phuket is famous not only for it’s beaches, but also for the restaurants in “all you can eat” format. In this article we will tell about the best unlimited buffets on the island and give some simple tips for a more comfort dinner.
1. What is All You Can Eat Buffet in Phuket
All you can eat buffets in Phuket means restaurants where for one fixed price you can take unlimited amount of food: meat, seafood, sushi, desserts and other dishes. Most often you choose and cook by yourself, but sometimes there is also waiters service.
2. How Buffets Work in Phuket: Rules and Tips
To make your visit to buffet more easy and comfortable, it’s good to know few things:
- Time is limited. Usually you have 90–120 minutes. It’s enough to try many dishes, but don’t stay longer than limit.
- Extra charge for unfinished food. If you take too much and dont eat it, they can add fee. This rule help not to waste food.
- Drinks mostly not included. Water, soft drinks, tea usually pay separate. Better ask before.
- Self service. In most places you pick products and cook: grill or boil in soup.
💡 Tip: don’t take too many things at once — you always can come back for more. Like this you avoid extra fee and can try more dishes.
