Previous times I have always stayed in Kata Beach<\/a> at the hotel at the dive school where I did my instructor training, it’s been closed so this time I’m staying in Patong, this is the view from my hotel<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

I do however rent a scooter and drive from Patong to Kata Beach to check for myself what happened with Kata Big Rock. And it’s such a shame what happened to it! This place used to be absolutely bustling<\/a> with people, most of them diving students. Unfortunately the owner (living in the gorgeous villa up the hill there) wanted to sell the place (pool + hotel) but was asking way too much, so nobody bought it and now it’s just kind of left to rot<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

This used to be the kitchen where I ordered countless curries, diet cokes and whatnot, really sad<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

What is<\/strong> however still there is the<\/strong> best restaurant in Phuket : Koi Restaurant<\/a>. So for lunch I order my favourite dish: the mussaman curry. Om nom nom!<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

I can’t get enough of Thai food so my dinner is another curry, from a restaurant close to my hotel in Patong this time, it’s not bad but not Koi quality either<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
