The hallmarks of a Phuket entertainment spot are all here—food, drinks and massages—but incongruously combined in a restored Sino-Portuguese home with a narrow courtyard.

So, what is Tantitium (065-054-4087, www.fb.com/Tantitium)? The answer comes in three parts: Tanti Eat, part one, is a Thai restaurant that contrasts the rustic building exterior with a polished interior, here featuring black and white floor tiles, mustard-colored sofas and huge brass light fixtures. The crab curry (B390), a Phuket classic, is deliciously authentic.

If you’re there on a Friday, the very blue bar Tanti Drink does a TGIF-night. Their signature cocktail set is called The Six Sense (B280), with each drink coming with a different cocktail base.

Finally, there’s Tanti Massage, which offers various spa treatments and massages.

Tantitium is in Phuket’s Old Town on Dibuk Road.
