Our second destination for the SuperStar Libra Cruise is at Phuket Patong Beach (Day 3)
Upon arrival at Phuket, we were transferred to deep sea Port of Phuket where when we disembarked, for our Patong Beach Excursion.
On the way to Phuket, we were briefed by our friendly tour guide aka Dove on what we are things to do, to eat and to buy from Phuket, Thailand.
After a 45 minutes bus ride; we reach the Patong Beach at the JungCeylon Mall which happens to be the biggest mall on Phuket. It is conveniently located where you can easily access to the fame Bangla Street, the famed Patong beach and the Banzaan Fresh Market.
This mall also houses a number of Thai souvenir shop at lower ground, the Big C hypermarket where you can buy almost all the Thai produce to bring home and the upmarket Robinson Store and many others.
As a foodie, we have decided to make our way to the Banzaan Fresh Market
where you can buy or eat all the Thai local fresh fruits,
and fresh seafood like lobster, crabs, prawns, fish, shellfish
(take a look at the video of the live seafood offering) and more.
Here, you can buy the fresh food and vegetables from the market and bring it to the first floor where most of the shop will be able to cook for you any style from their menu.
The cooking price range for each dish is around 100-150 Thai Baht.
Opposite this Banzaan Fresh Market is a Muay Thai Stadium. There are fight schedules mostly in the evening if you are staying overnight in Phuket.
Next on is a walk pass thru the fame Bangla Street which is also known as the beer street. This is the most happening street when nightfall; to be when you are in Patong Beach although we would have left by then. This road is closed at night and we were told that it is usually packed with tourist.
After a brief walk, we finally reach the beach area where you can swim, paragliding, or just take a brisk walk on the sandy beach
or just laze around the beach for some sunbathing while enjoying your sip of refreshing freshly pierced coconut drink.
There are some street food and restaurant along the way that you might like to taste.
or go for a relaxing Thai Massage.
Soon, we were back at the mall after a brief walk around the Patong Beach to check out the food bazaar,
souvenir shop and the Big C Hypermarket to purchase the Tom Yam Thai Instant Noodle. After which it was an hour drive back to the port.
