20 Dec: Phuket Town

Breakfast at Black Canyon Coffee (this branch is nearer to our hotel, but limited variety). Enjoyed its ambience more than its food. Love the metallic ceiling fan.

Took a public bus to Phuket Town. The bus ride itself was an experience! It travelled from Kata to Karon then to Phuket Town, for most of the journey it crawled at a speed of 20km/h to pick up passengers flagging it down. We didn't have a destination in mind, only knew we wanted to do some shopping. Luckily, we met a kind lady on the bus who asked us to follow her and brought us to a shopping street catered to the locals. Took a rest at Swensens and headed back by taxi. A typical street scene, one of my fave shot:
Had our first roadside stall pancake while walking to the famous Two Chefs restaurant. Great food, great ambience (i am running out of adjectives!), the lobster and prawn dish which LH had was fantastic.

Chatted with Mr Vladimir Ponjavic from Switzerland. His hotel, Beach Inn located beside Two Chefs started operations only the week before. He gave us a tour of his new place enthusiastically.

Took a walk to Kata Beach and lit a lantern which flew all the way into the sky.
