Hello friends, long time no see! Kaew and Mobile Photographer are back.

On this trip, Kaew will take you to escape the heat, the rain, and the city to hide in a private, beautiful, and peaceful area that is perfect for relaxation. That place is PHUKET, the southern paradise. How good is it? Let's go see!

To maximize relaxation time on this trip, Kaew chose to travel by plane and then rent a car.

The departure date was around the end of October 2016. The sky was very cloudy and there were a lot of clouds. I was a little scared.

The captain is very skilled. Despite the thick clouds and strong winds, he managed to keep the plane steady until it cleared the clouds and flew smoothly.

I've arrived. It's raining. I thought to myself, "Oh no, will I be able to enjoy my trip?"

Upon arriving at the airport, we picked up our rental car and immediately set off on our journey. Our first destination was the stunning accommodation we had booked.

Upon arriving at our accommodation, the weather unexpectedly turned pleasant. The sun was shining warmly, inviting us to explore the interior.

This is the Lobby area. It is decorated in a very impressive and beautiful way.

After checking in, we headed to our room. Let me tell you, the room was located on a mountain with stunning views. But how do we get there? The staff informed us that there are two ways to reach the room: 1) by tuk-tuk or 2) by cable car. Wow! A cable car ride within the hotel? That's awesome!

For now, I'll use the first option, which is a tuk-tuk. But in reality, it's a pickup truck with a roof extension. You might ask why we call it a tuk-tuk. It's to make it easier for foreign tourists to remember and pronounce, and it also sounds cool.

We have arrived. It's quite high up here. If the hotel is correct, this is the 4th floor.

The room you see in front of you is actually Kaew's room. The staff told me that this room is bigger than the standard rooms. (I wonder how big it is!)

Wow, is this the only living room? Seriously, I can sleep in this room. Just kidding with the staff.

Let's move on to another room. This is the bedroom with a king-size bed. I'm sure you'll sleep well tonight.

Stepping out to explore, wow, is this our room's balcony? I'm starting to think that I could just stay here all day and not even go sightseeing.
If you look closely, there's an outdoor bathtub in the right corner. It's luxurious and convenient.

And this is the view from Kaeo's balcony. On one side, you can see the view of the hotel and the mountains. On the other side, you can see the view of the sea.

Upon entering the bathroom, you will find everything duplicated. There are two sinks, two showers, and two wardrobes, ensuring that there is no need to compete for space.

The atmosphere of the bathtub is a corner that Kaew loves very much.

Okay, I've put my things away in the room. Let's go out and have some fun. This evening, we can go for a walk on the hotel's private beach.

The first place that the glass went straight to was the area that friends should be familiar with, which is the Sino-Portuguese district, the old town of Phuket.

Unable to resist the beauty of this city, I took a moment to capture a photo with my beloved. (A moment to show off my partner)

Kaeo continued to stroll through the city, which was truly magical. Every corner he turned offered a beautiful and classic view that captivated his heart.

A modern cafe and a classic cafe stand side by side, a sight I never thought I'd see here. It's pretty cool.

As he continued walking, Kaew stumbled upon an intriguing location: the Phuket Thai Hua Museum. The museum's captivating exterior lured him in, compelling him to pay the entrance fee without even realizing it.

Upon entering the museum, visitors are greeted with a comprehensive history of Phuket, from its earliest days as a fledgling settlement to its vibrant present. The museum showcases the diverse Chinese communities that established roots on the island, highlighting their unique occupations and the rich cultural tapestry they wove.

After a long walk, I stumbled upon the last room on the first floor, where I found a treasure map of delicious food. It was perfect timing, as I was starting to feel hungry. I noticed a noodle shop that had been around for generations and was still open, likely due to its secret recipe. I couldn't resist the temptation to try it. Haha! 55 5

Here is the Pehteow Noodle shop. As soon as you walk in, the aroma of the soup hits your nose. Without hesitation, I ordered the shop's signature dish, the special dry tom yum noodles.

Observe the graceful way the owner boils the noodles. Her right hand holds the bowl, while her left hand boils the noodles. This elegant movement makes us even more eager to eat.

It's here! It looks so delicious! The limes are the size of tennis balls! The bowl includes pork dumplings, fried shrimp, roasted pork, fish balls, and pork balls. You can say that the ingredients are packed in! The price is also very reasonable, only 70 baht per bowl.

Okay, let's head back to our hotel and relax. The sun is setting, the wind is calm, and the soft, fine sand feels amazing. This is the life!

This kind of atmosphere is hard to find, making it perfect for a romantic honeymoon.

The hotel's large swimming pool is a must-see, with an adjacent area that serves as the hotel's central hub.

Okay, I'm done for the day. I'm going to go rest now.

Good morning! The morning atmosphere on the beach here is really relaxing. The cool breeze is so refreshing.

The question of how the glass came down from the room is answered by the use of the cable car, which Kaew mentioned earlier.

Hungry in the morning, Kaew immediately came down from her room to find something to eat. She had heard that the breakfast here was delicious.

Everything looks so delicious, so I took a full plate. What a hearty breakfast!

Our destination today is the Phuket Aquarium, but in the morning we will stop by the Thao Thep Kasattri and Thao Sri Sunthon Monument.

We have arrived at the Phuket Aquarium. The scenery is currently being improved, and I believe it will be stunning once completed.

This place is teeming with various adorable marine creatures, including crabs, fish, turtles, and even sharks. There's also a feeding show!

After a tiring walk around the Aquarium, let's find something to recharge our batteries. I heard that there is a restaurant nearby with a chef from the renowned Sri Panwa Hotel. We can't miss this opportunity, let's go!

After driving around for a while, confused by myself, I finally arrived at Tong Sam Cafe, also known as Tong Sam.

Warmly welcoming guests are the lovely elder brother and sister, Pla, along with delicious food.

The ambiance of the restaurant truly impressed Kaeo. The beautiful and welcoming atmosphere made her want to stay and eat all day long.

While I was taking pictures of the restaurant, my girlfriend had already ordered the food. I guess I'll just have to wait and see what we got.

The first menu is the restaurant's signature pizza, Tongsam Cafe, with 3 toppings on one tray.

Followed by drunken seafood spaghetti and black spaghetti, the flavors were well-balanced and not too spicy.

A giant plate of crispy fried fish, the fish used in this menu is ordered from Japan.

Must-try dishes at Tongsam Cafe: highly recommended by everyone who has been there. Deliciousness guaranteed!

Every savory dish needs a sweet ending. Introducing our signature tiramisu, available exclusively at Tongsam Cafe. You won't find this exquisite treat anywhere else.

Chef Bua, the owner of the shop, recommends the following way to eat: pour fragrant espresso over the biscuit, top with the shop's special cream, and sprinkle with cocoa powder. Oh, it's so delicious, and it's truly unlike anything else.

Not finished yet, followed by a soft and smooth Chocolate Lava Cake.

The grand finale is the incredibly fragrant Panna Cotta with fresh strawberries and a layer of soft cream in a cup. How delicious it is, you have to come and try it yourself.

A photo of someone stuffing leftover pizza into their mouth. Unfortunately, if you want to eat there or make a reservation, oh, there's good news! If you go to this restaurant and say "I saw it on Mobile Photographer," you'll get a 10% discount. You can contact the restaurant's Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/333Cafephuket/
