Phuket, Day 3 [[ Feb 23 2025 ]]

Our last day in Thailand.. we walked around Kata beach and explored our neighborhood briefly before heading back to enjoy our resort. We finished the trip off with one more dinner at a night market, this time the Kata night market, and a one last Thai massage.

Bonus, peep the Thai tea from Dean & Deluca at the airport!

Phuket, Day 2 [[ Feb 22 2025 ]]

We spent the day exploring Old Town before the rain came. Following recommendations by Mark Wiens, we started with Hokkien noodles from Ko Yoon, then walked over to Mee Ko Lan for some handmade egg noodles. This restaurant is over 100 years old and serves very smoky noodles.. it was super fun to watch the uncle toss each order in the wok – lunch and a show! We needed to sit down and relax for a bit, so we headed over to .teabar for some iced matcha. After walking around and doing some light shopping, we headed to Limelight to check out their food court, which had some Michelin recommended eats.

Bangkok, Day 5 [[ Feb 21 2025 ]]

Travel day - off to Phuket! Airport eats: grabbed a corn pie from McDonald's, and we were finally able to get a big bowl of Tom Yum. I just couldn't have it in the heat (@;)

Bangkok, Day 4 [[ Feb 20 2025 ]]

Temple day! We visited the iconic Wat Arun and Wat Pho and even managed to get a Thai tea from a Café Amazon inside the temple grounds! We were starving after a photo session and were so lucky to stumble upon an outdoor food market that served super cheap Pad Thai, papaya salad, and various barbequed meats. Before leaving the area, we got our hands on *the* mango sticky rice from Kor Panich - absolutely amazing and worth the trip. After a much needed massage, we had dinner at another Hereduan location. Unfortunately, it wasn't as good as the first place.

Bangkok, Day 3 [[ Feb 19 2025 ]]
After walking around Benchakitti Park, we worked up quite an appetite. We ate two lunches - ate some Pad Thai at a little family run restaurant before feasting at .streetfood . The food here was definitely the best thing we ate at in Bangkok! Of course, we had to have something sweet.. so we visited a dessert shop that is known to serve one of Lisa's (Blackpink) favorites: grass jelly in fresh milk with milo powder. The food coma was starting to set in, so we grabbed a coffee and chilled for a bit before heading off to Iconsiam for some window shopping, dinner, and air conditioning. Their food court is insane, with food organized into different regions within Thailand.
