Thanoon Seafood Restaurant (านอาหารท่านุ่นซีฟู๊ด)

Thanoon Seafood Restaurant is a restaurant which is adjacent to the Sarasin Bridge and on the other side of the mainline.

This is a restaurant which has steadily become more and more popular and is now a chosen restaurant for many companies. The location is superb - the seating is on the sand close to the bridge or under a roof.

We have been here a number of times but from reading other reviews the location is great but can be (depending on the weather) a little exposed. Reading TripAdvisor there has also bee a repeating problem with the manager of the restaurant but we have never had this.

The menu is in Thai and I believe that there was a menu in English but I did not ask for one. The food was good but the location made it feel all the much better - as we ate there were a number of small groups (max 6) which visited us.

The food was cooked for the Thai guest and it was only whilst I ate that I notice that there seemed to be some dishes which were cooked for the small groups of foreigner visitors?

The prawns were certainly fresh.

The Som Tam and the deep fried fish was definitely something which I would have again! 

A great place to visit if you are travelling from Phuket to Khao Lak or the other way around.

Gluay Nam Wa (Cha-Fa Road)

Gluay Nam Wa is a brand of Coffee Shop and of Restaurant. It seems to be very popular amongst the Thai people. It is sometimes served with staff wearing 'horns' and I have yet to understand.

The first Gluay Nam Wa we chose to visit was on the outskirts of Phuket Town, near my dentist which is adjacent to King Rama IX Park.

The outlet was quite small inside but there was further seating at the back and outside, but only when I left I found this out!

The drink selection was great and we all had another one - the food was also good and well priced - but I have to admit that at this point I wanted a table!

The food was certainly tasteful and I was pleased to get rice that was not white! 

For the young Thai people it is certainly a place for their standard of Thai food and it does not attract the Westerner.

There was also the opportunity to read a number of Thai fashion magazines or use the free Internet - me I watched the traffic.

Don't forget that there is a geocache in King Rama IX Park next door.

Approximate Price: $$$$$

Ao Ke Noodle

หมี่อ่าวเก is a traditional Noodle Shop on the outskirts of Phuket Old Town. If you would like to have what the locals eat then this is the place for you!

The Noodle Cafe is a bit of a scare because it does not look in the best state of repair - but please do not let that scare you away! If you wanted to have noodles like the local people eat then here it is.

The Cafe is busy and the man cooking at the front seems to be managing his job seamlessly!

We had the Tom Yam Noodles and it was great, bursting with flavour and then if you really wanted to make it more spicy the standard set of table spices were there for you!

Okay there is nothing anywhere in any other language in the restaurant  - find your smart phone and download an App called Thai Talking Food menu and go ahead enjoy!

Wow - a place to pop in for your lunch noodles.
