That's a really interesting observation! I've been to Phuket Sino Village a few times and never really noticed that. Maybe it's a relatively recent thing?

It's certainly intriguing enough to make me want to go back and pay closer attention. Maybe someone from Phuket can chime in with the real story! Could be something mundane, like a recent bulk purchase from a specific supplier... or something way more fun.

Get off the main streets! Seriously. Wander down the sois (side streets). Phuket Old Town's charm isn't just the main drag; it's in the little alleys and tucked-away temples. Talk to people – shopkeepers, locals hanging out at streetside stalls. Even a simple "Sawasdee" (hello) opens doors. You'll find amazing little eateries, family-run businesses, and local markets that aren't in any guidebook. Try to go during a local festival if you can time it – completely different vibe. And don't be afraid to get a little lost; that's where the real discoveries happen. Plus, you'll probably find even better Pad See Ew.
