we're Lloyd and mandy we've been travelling full-time for the past
six months searching for the perfect place to live as digital nomads we've spent the
last few weeks exploring Thailand and today we've decided to explore Phuket's old town
all right we've just arrived in old town in Phuket very different feel to
Patong Bangla road it's so cool the buildings are all different colours it's
so beautiful lots of cafes and restaurants there's a photoshoot going on here yeah
so we had plans to do like the beach and outdoorsy stuff today but the weather just hasn't been that
good since we've been in Phuket yeah unfortunately it's monsoon season still it's not bad it's just
very overcast and a bit windy so we thought we'd come to old town instead I'm so far happy so many
cafes and restaurants here I think we're going to get some good food today yeah we're going to
see if we can find maybe like a coffee shop or something to get chai or green tea or something
so
so this seems to be an Instagrammer's paradise on every corner there is someone taking photos
there's just so many beautiful buildings that you can take photos with it's probably
a prime location for that yeah probably more like 10 people taking photos every corner
so there are so many people taking photos on the road that there are people coming through
on motorbikes literally just laying on the horns to go through and people just clear
the streets while they're taking photos so these bikes can zip through it's like organized chaos
hi this girl back there has run across the road probably six times trying to get the right shot
I admire the dedication honestly I wish i had the patience for that but I don't
it feels like we've left the real world and we've entered the Instagram Olympics
it's chaos
we just ordered probably the most embarrassing drink I've ever ordered from a coffee shop
especially when I used to be a barista would have irritated me a lot we ordered a
iced matcha with white chocolate or iced matcha cappuccino with white chocolate with almond milk
Lloyd got one too so I can't feel too bad it's horrendous
you don't drink it's what coffee is yeah much choice it's gonna taste amazing we've
just come to this place called daily dose and they actually have um nut milk alternatives
which are great for us which has been a huge struggle since we've been in Thailand because
all they ever have is just dairy milk just got our drinks they look absolutely amazing
that's the one is it worth the embarrassing order
I would do it again
there are so many cafes here in old town a lot of them are guest houses as well they've got
like rooms upstairs really old-style hostels we're actually leaving for Koh Samui tomorrow
but we might stay here on our way back because we're flying out
here in a couple of weeks when we go to Vietnam do you want one Lloyd um
the sunnies too
nice
I'm pretty sure I saw people when we were in Hawaii wearing one of them
okay we're about to go into this restaurant that has a million people inside of it and
it's the only busy place that we've seen it's packed we don't even know what it's selling
there are about 10 grab drivers lined up out in front too so it must be good
there's a table in there
so this is a Thai coconut milk custard it's really warm
it's recommended oh what's that
that's awesome is it good tastes like mango sticky rice that's it yeah
do you like that yeah
tastes like mango sticky rice yum that's delicious
got some deep-fried crab rolls
it's crispy
a little bit spicy with the sauce
we got some deep-fried wontons we weren't sure what they were
we were just pointing at someone else's table asking for it it looks so good
so i'm really happy that we stumbled onto that restaurant it was so good
um we did mess up and not order the right thing after seeing what all the locals were
ordering we think the soup was the way to go the wonton soup and possibly the noodles
we just got a fried rice because it was easy i have no idea what this place is called because
it's written in thai yeah and we haven't learned how to read thai yet oh [ __ ] jeed yard pack
that's on the side of the building i don't know if that's what it's called in old town here in phuket
definitely recommend trying it um it was so busy there was people just coming in and out the whole
time and the only place so far we've seen has been that past and it was really good yeah i really
really have enjoyed our time here in old town yeah there's also some really good bars that open up
later um it's still pretty early and there's a sunday night market which is gets really packed
but we've done a lot of markets the last few weeks so if you were thinking of coming here i think you
could book a night and stay the night here and enjoy the nightlife here as well we might do that
when we come back yeah we hope you guys have enjoyed the video today if you did don't forget to
