Phuket Adventure Mini Golf is an 18 hole course laid out around small waterways, with a bar and restaurant on the course. A round and dinner take about two hours, and families with kids come as often as couples who want a cocktail and a game. The burgers come from a proper kitchen, and the beef burger and the Thai chicken burger get a lot of repeat orders.

Carpe Diem Beach Club opened in 2022 under managing partners Benny De Bellis and Bruce Hanrahan, and its kitchen cooks from Benny's Italian upbringing and Bruce's years in southern Spain. Tables sit on the sand between tall coconut palms, under a curved thatched roof and around a long central bar, with longtail boats anchored offshore. The wood-fired truffle pizza and the bouillabaisse lead the menu, and evenings bring a fire show on the sand and a dinner theater.

Honorable mentions
Named on one list, outside its top 10, so it scores no points.
“Much better for golf practice than your regular driving range and at a really really good price.”
a Google reviewer
Named on 2 lists, but in the top 10 of only one, so under the two-list rule it counts as a one-list place.
“He is very patient and chill. He pushed me but I never felt nervous, so less tension.”
a Google reviewer
Named on only one list we found, so it cannot be ranked under the two-list rule.

How the points work
We read every independent published best-of list we can find for the question. Each list gives 10 points for first place, 9 for second, down to 1 for tenth, and 5 points to each place on a list with no order. Points are added up. A business must be in the top 10 of at least two lists to be ranked. Rankings are never sold. Full method.
