Phuket town, first time in Thailand, acclimatization

Phuket town. A relatively lively city in Thailand. There are quite a lot of attractions on the island itself, but in Phuket town there are few. But, nevertheless, the first time to get to this city of Thailand is certainly interesting. Although I would not recommend this city for assimilation. Why? – Because the traffic here is intense, so shooting a bike here and learning to ride it with left-hand traffic is dangerous!

First day in Phuket

Acquaintance with the city, we began with the search for a cafe where you can eat. The institution was found quite quickly, guided by the guide LoneleyPlenet. By the way, before traveling, I recommend downloading it to your phone. There is a lot of useful information about attractions, hotels and restaurants. And on any wallet. The average price for a dish in the recommended cafe was 60 baht. As it turned out later, it is more expensive than usual, since in Thai makashnitsa, the price per dish is usually 40 baht. Ceiling in the institution: Phuket town, first time in Thailand, acclimatization After eating, we went for a walk around the hot city. Streets in Phuket, and in other cities of Thailand, are quite narrow and there are practically no sidewalks and cars do not really stop at the crossings. Therefore, you need to be very careful when crossing the road. On the way, we stopped at Xena's art studio.

We reached the Festival shopping center, decided to eat. There is a food court, but in order to buy food there, you must first take a card, replenish it and pay for food with this very card. Then the unspent amount can be returned. And here is a soup for 60 baht (2 dollars): Phuket town, first time in Thailand, acclimatization The main thing before choosing a dish is to ask whether it is spicy (spicy) or not. Spices are very fond of here and it is simply impossible to eat many dishes.
