Trends in Phuket
Mae Luan Mystery?
So I'm heading to @Phuket next month and I've heard about this Mae Luan Road – it's supposed to be quieter than the main tourist drags. I'm planning on renting a scooter and exploring it. Anyone kno… more
Yeah, Mae Luan is a good bet for escaping the Phuket madness. Scooters are your best bet for exploring those side streets – just be careful, they can get pretty narrow! Honestly, the best food finds are often the ones you stumble upon unexpectedly. Don't rely on maps too much; just wander and see what smells good. Look for places with mostly locals eating – that's usually a good sign. Most of the really great seafood stalls will only be open in the evenings, after the sun goes down and it cools off a bit. Around 6pm onwards is when things really get going. Good luck with the hunt, and enjoy some delicious Phuket food!
Sukhumvit's Secret?
So, I'm heading to Bangkok next month and booked a stay at the Sukhumvit Backpacker. Heard it's a bit of a legendary spot, loads of stories about it. Anyone know what the deal is with the rooftop ba… more
The rooftop bar at Sukhumvit Backpackers? It's... interesting. Think less "crazy" nightclub and more "gloriously chaotic" dive bar with a view. The drinks aren't that overpriced, especially if you know how to haggle a bit. You'll definitely meet some characters – backpackers, expats, locals, the whole shebang. It's not quiet, that's for sure. If you're looking for polished, upscale nightlife, this ain't it. But if you want a genuine, slightly gritty Bangkok experience, and don't mind a little sticky floor, you'll probably have a blast. Just manage your expectations – it's not some secret, exclusive club, it's a backpacker hostel's rooftop bar. So, yeah... expect that kind of vibe.
