Monkey Pod Coffee House



We visited here after the Butterfly release in Khao Phra Thaeo National Park and I have to apologise for it taking me so long to write about our experience.


There seemed to be very little that had changed from our last visit so how much change was there?


The running of the restaurant was infinitely better - swift and simple. I love the decor - it is very simple and it is obviously clear that the staff have been told to take care of it - it shows.


The food was very nice and presented well but there is still something missing - it is pleasant but ordinary - maybe I have lived here too long and my expectations of Thai food in a restaurant have changed?

For me to the reader than it is a great place to go if you are travelling to this area of Phuket or have arrived at Ao Po Grand Mariner.


We would visit again - ice cream and coffee was great!

Chic Room Cafe



What a superb looking place - the potential for Phuket Town maybe slowly being recognised - without being abused....

Walking between shrines is always thirsty work and a cappuccino was needed and I chose a new spot.  What a difference with the decoration - very individual and very welcoming. I have no idea about the property itself (it is also a hotel) but I may choose to stay one night....


The coffee was superb - balanced with a little sugar. The Wi-Fi was quickly connected and the staff were a little confused about what I was doing there so early in the morning and did not want breakfast.


There is another very good reason to investigate and that is interest - where else have you seen Kermit the Frog and President Obama in the same cabinet? 


Not sure about the open canal to look out onto though?


Worth another visit - can you believe that this is the check-in desk?
