Phuket actually has a sizable Thai Muslim population, however they tend to be located away from popular tourist areas. For example at Patong, there a are a lot of halal restaurants but they all tend to have only Indian/Arabic food (and maybe Tom Yam soup) so it is difficult to find authentic halal Thai food from locals. If you are lucky, you might run into roadside push-carts selling halal chicken/fishball noodle soup or grilled chicken, but due to their mobile nature, their exact timings and locations might be difficult to find if u want to have them on a daily basis. If you cook your own food, Carrefour at Jungceylon has a halal meat section. At the northern end of Patong, there is a huge mosque (Masjid Nurul Huda) and there are some halal eateries there, especially on Fridays after jumma prayers.
