Tourists like to come and take pictures here, it is very beautiful. Here, there is a package for taking pictures with a drone, sitting and lying on a wooden boat. Most couples tend to come here to take pictures together. The shop has a nice atmosphere and many menus to choose from, but the price may be a bit high.

#JanuaryGoodPlaces2025 Many tourists come to Café Ma Doo Bua Phuket for taking beautiful photos. Whether the food here is delicious is secondary. We order food based on the photos of the menu, the plating design, the color matching and whether it looks good on camera🤔! You can also order a photography package when you come to "Ma Doo Bua Phuket Lotus Pond Café" - a drone will take photos of you standing or lying on the lotus pond, 500 baht per person; it's a bit expensive, usually when you travel to a foreign country 🧳, you just spend time with flowers, flowers, flowers...have fun! 💞Recommendation reason: Aerial photos are very beautiful 🗓️Itinerary: Half day

・1st photo [Ma Doo Bua Cafe] A cafe where you can take photos on lotus leaves. You can't reserve photos, but the plan to take about 6 types of photos for one person was 500 THB, and 800 THB for two people. I think there was a price setting for up to about 4 people. You fill out your order at the entrance, and while you wait, you can take photos with the lotus leaves in front of you while eating the cafe menu, so it's over in a flash! We arrived around 11:45 and were able to reserve photos starting at 13:00! ・2nd and 3rd photos [Three Monkeys Cafe] A cafe attached to Hanuman World, which has activities such as ziplining. We used it to go to this cafe without going to Hanuman World. We wanted to sit on the terrace, but unfortunately we had to sit indoors! There was no wait time, but it seems like it's a good idea to make a reservation in advance to sit on the terrace. The dishes in the photo are tom yum salad and chocolate shake. The tom yum salad was so spicy that I couldn't stop sweating💦 but it was so delicious that I wanted to eat it again. The ingredients tasted good and I could smell the spices. I ordered the chocolate shake because I was attracted by its appearance and volume. It was delicious and had a variety of cafe menus, so I definitely want to come here again when I come to Phuket! ・4th photo [Panwaburi Beachfront Resort] A hotel where I had a very relaxing and fun time in Phuket! The location is a bit rural and there aren't many convenience stores nearby, but it was a great value hotel. Breakfast was also included for 300 THB per person and the fruit juice was very delicious. There were two canoes floating in the pool, and we had to share them, but the guests were very kind and we were able to use them at the right time😊 The minibar in the room (Coke, Sprite, snacks) was also free, so we were able to enjoy an elegant time by the pool! I went to many other places and stayed for 8 nights, but these 3 places were the ones I would like to go back to the next time I come to Phuket, so please do! #Phuket #PhuketGourmet #Cafe #CafeHop #Overseas #BeachResort #ResortHotel #ThaiFood #TomYumKung #PhotogenicSpot

#0yentravel Lotus Cafe in Phuket It's also a filming location for the popular Japanese show The Bachelor! It was raining that day, so the weather wasn't the best, but it's a great cafe where you can take great photos even in the rain!! The cafe menu is also reasonably priced compared to Japan! I recommend it. #Phuket

🍽️Mad Bua Cafe มาดูบัว คาเฟ่ #madoobuacafe address: 310 51 M.1 Baandon-Cherngtalay Rd Tambon Thep Krasatti, Thalang District, Phuket 83110 Thailand Familiar with the setting for the 2-on-1 date in Bachelor 4🪷 I love the Bachelor, so I went to the place that Ryoko and Haohao have memories of... It's a wonderful and photogenic place!

Thailand trip to Phuket! A hidden mecca for those who want to take photos of their lives! It's 'Madubua'ㅎ Location- It's a remote place away from famous tourist attractions or major cities, so we had to travel quite a bit by Grab. It's not well known to Koreans, so the cafe was full, but there was only one table with Koreans, excluding our group. The staff were very friendly and locals

When you go to Phuket, you should come to this cafe if you have the chance! No need to make an appointment🙅🏻♀️ just walk in✔️ There is a big lotus leaf pond in this cafe🪷 There are many photo spots, boats, bridges and net beds Which is the ship to use aerial photography to take pictures ~ the effect is super satisfied 👍🏻 In addition to taking pictures, it has Thai cuisine and drinks available 🇹🇭 Their coconut jelly is very good, I recommend it✨ In addition, we ordered Thai dry fried rice and seafood wet fried rice respectively We all think that dry fried river is better You can arrange this restaurant on your Phuket trip itinerary🤩 📍Ma Doo Bua cafe Address: 310 51 M.1 Baandon-Cerngtalay Rd Tambon Thep Krasatti, Thalang District, Phuket 83110, Thailand Hope to continue to discover Thailand's good places in the future 👍🏻 #Thailand Must-See Photo Spots #2024 Travel Wish #Thailand #Thailand Attractions #Thai Food #Phuket

🏝️How to spend three days and three nights in Phuket without going out to sea👉🏻with accommodation ✅Day 1 🏠Kata SIS Resort Hotel The overall environment of the hotel is good, and there will be a welcome drink when you check in. With an infinity pool, it's very photogenic at sunset! The only drawback is that the hotel is on a hill and you have to walk up a steep slope, which is inconvenient for the elderly and children‼️ 🔹Sleep until you wake up naturally in the morning, have breakfast, put on a beautiful makeup and go out➡️First go to the street to buy some equipment (bikini👙slippers🩴sunscreen dress👗) then go back to the hotel to change clothes and go to the beach～🏝️ ‼️There is a shuttle bus from the hotel to the beach, but you need to pay attention to the timetable. You can also choose to walk, the navigation has a small road, about ten minutes to arrive. 🔹In the afternoon, I experienced surfing at Kata Beach🏄‍♀️ 👉🏻KATA SURF ✔️Non-swimmers can also try it! The female coach is very professional and patient, and there is no barrier in English communication. 💰One-on-one for one hour 1000🐷 (800🐷 without shooting) 🌅The sunset at Kata Beach is really a magical experience, walking back to the hotel in the rain, and then going to the pool to watch the sunset again, it's so beautiful that I cried✨ 🔹In the evening, just stroll around the street and try some local snacks🔚 ✅Day2 🔹Take a taxi to the cliff cafe📍Leam Sai Cup Cafe It's really beautiful🥹A random shot is very photogenic! It's so comfortable to blow the sea breeze🍃 🔹After returning to the hotel and checking out, go to the next hotel 🏠Phuket Diamond Resort The hotel is near Patong Beach, compared to Kata SIS, it is more secluded, but quieter. 🔹After checking in, I arranged for a hotel shuttle to go to the beach, just in time for the sunset, ordered beer and coconut and quietly watched the sunset, this is the meaning of vacation ah~ ✅Day3 🔹After breakfast, rest in the hotel~ The inflatable floating row in the pool saved me, a land duck 🔹In the afternoon, I took a taxi to a restaurant with a lot of INS, the Internet celebrity lotus pond restaurant🍴 📍Ma doo bua cafe (closed on Tuesday‼️) It can be said that this is the most surprising store of this trip✨The large lotus is like a painting🖼️! The restaurant can also queue up for drone aerial photography📷I personally think that taking pictures with a mobile phone or camera is very photogenic! There are more people in the store, but everyone is very orderly👍 🔹In the evening, I came to watch the sunset again! Every day is a surprise✨Today is a dreamy pink and purple sunset🌄

Yesterday I went to a coffee shop surrounded by lily pads (Victoria Lilies), it was so beautiful! ☕️🌸🍃 This coffee shop is located next to a lake. The sun is shining, the breeze is blowing, the lake water is crystal clear, and there are green lotus leaves all around. I felt like I was in a fairyland and was in an extremely happy mood. When I entered the coffee shop, I found its environment was also very comfortable. The interior decoration of the store is simple and elegant, but it also has a warm feeling. The staff were very friendly and made me feel welcome. What surprised me most was that the coffee shop also provided a special service: a net bed for lying on the lake! Lie on the net bed and feel the breeze and sunshine. I could see the lotus leaves dancing around me and listen to the sound of the lake water flowing gently. It was really relaxing. 😍🛏️💦 Moreover, the coffee shop also provides another amazing service: aerial photography service. I can pay with my phone and let the clerk take photos of the lake and lotus leaves from high above. It's so cool and shocking 📷✨🚁 This coffee shop is a very special place and I spent a wonderful afternoon. If you like natural and comfortable environment, I highly recommend you to come here and experience it! 👍🌞🌺 #Good Places for Families #Overseas Travel #travel

I arrived at the airport at 1 o'clock, picked up my luggage and rushed to MA DOO BUA coffee shop at 2 o'clock, but was told that the aerial photography reservations were booked until 6 pm... After hesitating for a long time, I finally made an appointment for 6 pm. The total cost of the photos and videos for the two of us was 1,700 baht. Since I also booked a room here, I tried to ask the front desk if it was possible to take photos in advance? The lady at the front desk asked for us, but told us there was no way, and I accepted it calmly. But after a while, they told us that there was a group going to eat at 2:20, so we could go take pictures now～～～～ So, we were taken to take photos! There is no need to worry about not being able to pose or being called upon. If you go to Phuket, this one is recommended, but try to go early because there are many people making appointments to take photos. #Phuket good places
