The quiet sustainability behind every table at Albatross Café
Behind Albatross Café’s lakeside charm sits a quiet sustainability story, from metal straws and composting to solar power and local sourcing, told table by table.
Tooth Replacement in Patong
One missing tooth, several ways to fix it. This Patong dentist’s guide compares removable dentures from 2,500 THB against fixed bridges and implants, what each actually costs at Dentcare, and the questions a dentist asks before recommending one, from the health of neighbouring teeth to how much jawbone is left to anchor an implant into. Removable or fixed, the right answer depends on the gap…
Dental Erosion in Patong
A tooth that stings at cold water, or looks a little shorter than it used to, is usually dental erosion rather than a cavity. This Patong dentist Q&A explains what wears enamel down, why fillings stay sensitive for a week or two, and how Dentcare treats erosion at each stage, from fluoride to a composite filling from 2,000 THB, up to a veneer or crown when the damage has gone further…
Teeth Whitening in Patong
Coffee, tea, tobacco and age all yellow a smile the same slow way, and no amount of brushing reverses it. This Patong dentist’s guide explains why teeth stain, why Dentcare cleans before it whitens, and how Pola laser, Nudent and Philips Zoom actually differ in price and comfort for sensitive teeth. When whitening cannot fix a stained crown or filling, the clinic’s own prosthodontic option picks up where it stops…
Thai Food in Rawai
At Le Celtique the Thai menu is not a courtesy extended to the French one. Lek cooks it, beside her husband’s Breton kitchen, and it fills half the carte — lemongrass and coconut soups, green papaya salad pounded to order, a stir-fry grid starting at 190 baht, and prawn fried rice served inside a fresh pineapple. This is serious Thai food in Rawai, cooked for twenty-five years, at prices no beachfront terrace can match…
Breton Crêpes in Phuket
Buckwheat galettes folded square around ham and a soft egg yolk, sweet crêpes flambéed at the table with Calvados or Grand-Marnier, salmon smoked in the kitchen, and a whole pig on the spit twice a month. Le Celtique has been cooking Breton crêpes in Phuket since 2001, down a quiet lane in Rawai a few minutes from Nai Harn — a French kitchen run by a Breton, with the crêperie at its heart rather than bolted on the side…
The Seasons in Thailand
Thailand has three main climatic seasons that vary from region to region, and choosing the best time to visit Phuket depends above all on what you’re looking for. The hot season, from March to June, offers clear skies and calm seas, ideal for the beach. The monsoon, from July to October, brings passing showers but softer rates. The cool season, from November to February, remains the most pleasant for combining beach and trekking in the north…
Breakfast, Croissants & Karak Tea
Breakfast in Patong usually means a hotel buffet or a rushed coffee before the beach. Metro Fast Food Restaurant, right in the centre of Patong, offers a third option: a proper breakfast menu with a Middle Eastern accent, capped off with a cup of Karak tea that’s become something of a signature in its own right. Metro’s morning menu starts with croissants — not the plain kind, but filled and finished to …
Pizza, Pasta & Burgers in Patong
Pizza and burgers in Patong don’t always come with much choice — long menus that promise everything and deliver something forgettable. Metro Fast Food Restaurant, in the centre of Patong, takes a different approach: a compact menu of pizzas, pastas and burgers, all halal, all made to order, and all backed by a kitchen that clearly enjoys the basics done right. Metro’s burger line-up runs from …

Solid ground in an unsettled world
When financial markets wobble and the headlines feel relentless, people instinctively look for somewhere their money can sit safely. Currency swings, inflation, political friction, and the constant rewriting of government policy have made stability feel scarce. In that climate, a growing number of international buyers are choosing tangible assets in places they actually want to spend time, and Phuket keeps surfacing in …
