Upon entering, it felt like stepping into another world, filled exclusively with foreigners. Could we have been teleported to Long Beach, Miami?

Despite the sun's descent, the surfers continued to revel in their sport.

For those who are not comfortable surfing, find a comfortable seat to enjoy a drink. Sip on a cold beer or a colorful cocktail at Memories Beach Bar. In the late afternoon before dusk, there are happy hours with special drink prices.

If you're interested in learning to surf, lessons are available here.

However, the seal pictured here won't need a surfboard.

It already has its own, albeit a flatter version. >.<"

It's getting dark and I need to continue to Phuket, which is almost 100 kilometers away. However, it might be a bit slow because the road from Khao Lak to Phuket is quite small.

Before entering Phuket, I will stop for a bite to eat at "Black Crab Restaurant".

This restaurant is located on Phetkasem Road, and you can easily find it using Google Maps.

I highly recommend this restaurant if you enjoy Southern Thai food. It's absolutely delicious!

Stir-fried petai with shrimp paste, steamed fish curry, turmeric-fried fish, southern-style sour curry, stir-fried leaves with skewered shrimp

Oh my god, it's so delicious!!!!!!

When you visit the south, you must try southern food. This restaurant is really delicious, confirmed by the sea lion chef who loves southern food.

If you are driving from Phang Nga to Phuket, stop by before entering Phuket. It's definitely delicious. The restaurant closes at 9 pm.

It's finally time to enter Phuket. It's almost 10 pm now.

At first, I was going to walk around the market for a while.

By now, I must have helped them pack up their stalls. So let's go to the accommodation. I'm so tired.

The first night we slept in a tent by the sea at The Camp Resort on Koh Tung Nang Dam.

On the 2nd night, we came down to Phuket, so we wanted to change to a hotel in the city.

So I looked for a stylish hotel in Phuket city with a price of around 1,000 baht.

There are a lot of them... But most of them are hostels where it's difficult to find parking.

I searched and searched and came across . . . Little Nyonya Hotel

LITTLE NYONYA

Little Nyonya: A Boutique Hotel with Stunning Sino-Portuguese Architecture in the Heart of Phuket

Little Nyonya, a charming boutique hotel, boasts stunning Sino-Portuguese architecture in the heart of Phuket. This compact hotel, discovered on Agoda, immediately captivated me with its visuals and price, leading to an instant booking.

Check in now.

"Little Nyonya" is a Malay or Peranakan term meaning "young girl." The name is very cute. ^ ^

Unfortunately, I arrived late at night and didn't get to see the swimming pool lit up.

It looked beautiful in the pictures on Agoda, but I'll take some photos tomorrow morning.

The room rate I booked on Agoda was 1,500 baht for a superior room with breakfast included.

The room is spacious, and the bed is very large.

This is a non-smoking room. Violators will be fined 2,000 baht (more expensive than the room itself, hehe).

Likewise, there is a durian fine during the durian season.

No durians are allowed in the room, please. We may smell good, but others may not.

Therefore, buy a durian and eat it right there.

. . . But we don't mind if you fart or burp in our room. . . . Hmmmmm . . .^^

The moon is beautiful today. Let's open the balcony and look at the moon.

Exhausted from a day of water activities and travel, I'm going to rest now. . . zzzZZZzzz. . .

Waking up early, I opened the balcony and zoomed in to see Khao Rang.

The sun is shining brightly today. Let's take a shower, get dressed, and go have breakfast at the two grandmas' room.

The breakfast here is buffet style. The selection may not be extensive, but it is comprehensive.

This adorable cat takes excellent care of its guests. Last night, it even waited at the parking lot to greet the manatee.

After a satisfying meal, we headed to Little Nyonya for a photoshoot. The beautiful design and numerous photogenic corners made it the perfect spot to capture some memories.

Many couples choose this location for their pre-wedding photoshoot due to its unique architectural style. The buildings are a blend of Sino-Portuguese and Sino-Colonial influences, creating a contemporary feel while retaining the charm of traditional Chinese houses in Phuket.

The swimming pool is large and inviting. It's a perfect place to cool off and refresh yourself. (I went out earlier and came back to swim. I'll pack my things later.)

Exhilarating. . .

It's time to check out. The deadline is noon, and it's only ten minutes away.

I checked in late last night, so I had to stay until the last minute.

In conclusion, the Little Nyonya Hotel is a charming and well-designed accommodation option in the heart of Phuket Town. With its convenient location, comfortable amenities, and affordable price point, it is an excellent choice for travelers seeking a stylish and comfortable stay. The hotel's unique blend of modern and traditional elements creates a warm and inviting atmosphere, making it an ideal base for exploring the city's rich history and culture. For those seeking a budget-friendly option with a touch of elegance, the Little Nyonya Hotel is highly recommended.

Phuket Old Town: Take a leisurely stroll through the historic streets of Phuket Old Town, admiring the vibrant Sino-Portuguese architecture. The colorful facades and intricate details of these buildings offer a glimpse into the city's rich cultural heritage.

Visiting Phuket's Old Town: A Must-Do

Coming to Phuket and not visiting the Old Town is a mistake! (But why is it a mistake? Why should it be a mistake? Haha!)

I never thought that visiting Phuket during Songkran would be so convenient. I imagined it would be as crowded as the Old City of Chiang Mai or Khao Lam Road in Khon Kaen. But look! There are few cars, and it's as smooth as Bangkok during a long weekend.

I found out that in Phuket, they only celebrate Songkran for one day, which is April 13th. On the 14th and 15th, some people go out of town, so it's a bit quieter.

It's great to be able to walk around and take photos without any hassle.

At this intersection, it is customary to take a photo with the mural of King Rama IX.

Some of the houses in this row have been renovated, but they still retain their old design. It's quite classic.

Tourist Information Center

For inquiries, please pick up a map.

In addition to tourism information, the second floor also features exhibits on the history and culture of the Chinese community in Phuket.

The original text is in Thai and discusses various aspects of Phuket, including:

• Local cuisine: The text mentions the diverse and delicious local dishes available in Phuket.
• Vegetarian festival: It highlights the significance of the Phuket Vegetarian Festival, a major cultural event.
• Culture and traditions: The text emphasizes the rich cultural heritage and traditions of Phuket, including its unique attire.

Here's the translated text in English:

Phuket boasts a vibrant culinary scene with diverse local dishes. The renowned Vegetarian Festival is a significant cultural event. Additionally, the island's rich cultural heritage and traditions are reflected in its unique attire.

For those who wish to dress in traditional Phuket Baba Yaya attire and take stunning photos, the Khun Chinn Phuket Mansion is the perfect location.

This location offers costume rentals and access to photograph within the antique house. The entrance fee may be slightly high, but it's a beautiful spot for commemorative photos or pre-wedding shoots.

Personally, I felt the entrance fee was not worth it due to time constraints. However, I may return in the future if the opportunity arises.

The Old Town, with its distinctive Sino-Portuguese architecture, is a must-see for any visitor to Phuket. The colorful buildings and charming streets offer a glimpse into the island's rich history and culture.

After a tiring and hot walk, let's find a coffee shop and have a cup of coffee together.

There are 4 coffee shops with 4 different coffee characters to choose from.

Which shops are there? We have to go and see . . . O_o

Cafe Hopping : Visiting 4 Coffee Shops with 4 Different Styles

We don't have much time in Phuket, so before we came, we made a list of places to go and things to do.

Our barista driver requested that we find a coffee shop with good coffee.

There are 4 shops on the list, all with distinct characters.

Let's start with the first shop . . .

- On the Way - Street cafe Phuket -

Amazing latte art in a glass for only 30 baht!!!

This shop doesn't have a beautiful space to relax like other cafes. Instead, it's a small kiosk in front of a house.

At first glance, it looks more like a place that sells traditional Thai coffee with condensed milk. But that's not the point!!!
