Phuket, Thailand (Part 3 of 4)

Ton Tong Restaurant & Bar was under the roof of APK Resort & Spa, which was just opposite our hotel. We had lunch and breakfast in this place on day 2 and 3. The place was not crowded so that we could enjoy the lunch at our own pace and the food was nice. Simply love the settings in this area of our hotel, slow without the rush of crowd. I could take my time to enjoy my cappuccino. The restaurant served a variety of western and thai food.

Simply got into a taxi for THB500 to bring you to Phuket Town. Any form of taxi (Tuk Tuk, MPV etc) cost the same price THB500 to Phuket Town and from Phuket Town to Patong. We started day 2 at the Old Town areas , trying to capture some photos. The lanes are narrow, hence you might miss some of the attractions. I have posted the map in my last post to facilitate anyone who wish to locate the attractions.

After visiting some of these attractions under the hot sun, it was time to look for a place to seat down and enjoy some fruits and ice-cream. We chanced an Italian Cafe. We got to use a super clean toilet and I was afraid to dirty it.

We did not visit Central Festival and the weekend market, but we got to know another area that tourists might be interest to visit. Walk along the Phuket road and turn into the lane that was next to Metropole Hotel at the roundabout. The lane will bring you to Ocean Mall and Robinson. Around this area, there are Night Food Market and Phuket Expo Fair/ Phuket Square where you can do plenty of shopping too.

At Phuket Square/ Phuket Expo, there were plenty of shops in the expo to shop. The price is definitely cheaper than those at Patong area. It seemed to take us ages to finish the shopping at Ocean Mall, Robinson and Phuket Expo. We didn't manage to get back to the Night Food Market for dinner, as it was drizzling and we were hungry. We just got into Kopi Cafe along Phuket Road to satisfy our hunger and tiredness. Cozy place with nice food and reasonable pricing.
