Phuket is full of culinary adventures. People even eat live shrimp! The dish is called Kung Ten, which means “dancing shrimp” — they really do move in your mouth until you chew.

You can also try duck beaks or tadpoles. These aren’t for everyone, of course, but many enjoy them — it all depends on your taste. Read more about the strangest Thai dishes in our article.
