"Phuket is home to many cafes and cakes, especially in the heart of the city. You can choose from simple bakeries to chic and sophisticated coffee shops. There is always a service here. Serving unique drinks and snacks, depending on the restaurant you choose, you can sit in a small corner or in an elegant space. Relax with hot drinks and snacks, combined with reading a book. Good books are the style of the day."
