Day 3 Patong Beach, Phuket (Thailand): Banglor Road and street food

We had some “overnight issues” in our room which basically translates to drunken asshats in the room next door partying from 3am onwards and the staff not doing anything about it. The hotel arranged for us to change rooms after I complained though which is definitely a positive!! Now our room has an even bigger spa and a day bed.

We started the day with our free breakfast (omelette station!) and then a few hours of relaxing poolside.

At 11am we headed over to Spa Burasari for a couples exfoliation, massage and facial treatment. Not the cheapest spa treatment ever but the cost was outweighed by the fact they understood me saying “gentle, gentle!” and the convenience of it being within the hotel. We were so impressed we are going back again on Tuesday.

After the massage we walked up to a recommended restaurant called Restaurant No. 6 and enjoyed a 300 Baht meal of two fruit ices, chicken and sweet corn and chicken pad Thai. Yummy and very reasonably priced.

We then walked back and did the room swap to the new room before enjoying the benefit of the free mini bar….again. Mmmm mini bar. We spent some time at the pool swim up bar and then I wallowed in the spa like a beached whale for an hour or so. Dinner was in Banglor Road again at the open food market, I tried to find a name but it doesn’t have one…so instead you can see the entry on the map below with a red coloured cross. Our blue location dot is higher up because we were sitting at the back of the markets eating pad Thai, fruit ices and a chicken satay stick!

Afterwards we walked back along the beach to the hotel and had some quiet time.

Cocktails: 1 strawberry dacquiri, 1 strawberry mojito

Tomorrow: possible beachside relaxation? Unsure….
