Our local Wall's
Ice Cream guy.
He always wears
the lion's head.
Quite friendly
really. You'll see him
about on his
Wall's Ice Cream
samlor
(three-wheeled
motorbike).
Always a
refreshing break
on a hot day... |

Surin Beach Apartment: Immediate
Area
|
 |
|
This 7-11 is
just across the
street and maybe
30 meters to the
right. The
yellow box in
the middle of
the photo is an
international
ATM. There
are several such
ATMs in the
immediate area. |
The apartment is approximately
450 meters to Surin Beach and
along the way and in the area
you will walk past several
massage spas - from modest to
quite upscale, several
laundries, mini-markets and
even a 7-11, upscale dining (one
of Phuket's finest!) along with the most
modest of street-side dining -
and choice of just about
everything in between.
ATMs are also plentiful.
For major shopping a Tesco-Lotus
Supermarket in just 2.5
kilometers (1.5 miles) away in
Cherng Talay.
Otherwise, all Phuket has to offer is just
a short stroll from your
apartment's door.
Straight out to the street and
a bit to the right is an ATM,
across the street is the 7-11
with another ATM.

Plaza Surin:
Upscale Shopping
and Dining - a
six-minute stroll,
at most.

On down the street to the right
(the beach is to the left but we
are wandering just a bit) is
Plaza Surin - excellent upscale
shopping and topped with the
Silk - one of Phuket's finest
restaurants.
Time to head down to the beach -
head out to the street from the
apartment and turn left.

Lagoon
Restaurant |

As you walk down the street to
the beach you will pass several
laundries, mini-markets, day
spas, shops and restaurants.
Rather quickly on your left is
the Blue Lagoon Restaurant -
great Thai food at local prices.
Along the way also you will find
a Pharmacy (Chemist) and a
couple laundries.
Also along the way - probably
one of Phuket's best day spas,
the Roseberry. Founded by
one of the original therapist
trainers at the Banyan Tree -
years back - she has opened her
own spa and put her considerable
expertise to work. A visit
for a quality spa experience -
5-Star-Resort quality at local
day spa prices.
