🇹🇭 📸 Instagrammable places in Phuket

I've managed to get through three of the many places 👉

All of these cafes have unremarkable food and are above average in Phuket, but due to their popularity, there are restrictions on visiting.

1️⃣Ma Doo Bua Cafe - a famous cafe on the shore of a pond with Victoria water lilies, whose leaves are so large they're said to be able to support a person. It's a lovely spot, especially if you grab a table in the front row: you can admire the scenery and be close to the photo location. There are no strict rules about people standing over you: you can book a photo shoot on a boat, or just take your own.

2️⃣Kor Ra Kang Cafe - a pink and purple Barbie paradise or a cemetery of artificial flowers in Phuket Old Town.

Seriously, it looks impressive in photos and videos. In person, yes, it's unusual, but it smells really bad of Chinese dust. The most thoughtful rules. They let you familiarize yourself at the entrance: if you pick flowers, you'll get a fine; if you just take a photo, you'll get a fine; every visitor is required to order; they even took my water at the entrance. You're escorted to your table, with guards with walkie-talkies constantly scurrying around 😏

3️⃣Viewpoint Cafe Phuket - an open-air photo studio.

They cleverly utilized the space on the rocky shore with a panoramic sea view, setting up a cafe with photo installations so everyone can have a photo shoot!

The rule is: 1 person = 1 dish + 1 drink. You choose at the entrance, otherwise they won't let you in. But you can sit there all day!

There's also a swing over the sea:

Ride: 100 baht
1 photo and 1 video: 300 baht
1 photo and 1 video with a flowing dress: 500 baht

I liked everything overall, but there's a bit less soul in these places compared to other parts of Phuket.

You know, like grandma's homemade pie versus one bought at a fancy bakery. But, as they say, there's no accounting for taste... I enjoyed the moment!
