Yes, dorsum inward Phuket Town. I caput into town to a greater extent than in addition to to a greater extent than these days for food, drinks, coffee, a few beers alongside friends or only a walk alongside the family.

There convey been a release of novel cafes in addition to restaurants opening inward the expanse inward the final few years equally the quondam town piece of cake becomes to a greater extent than pop alongside locals in addition to tourists. I outset to worry that the whole quondam town volition live on cafes, but I don't mean value hence - almost of the buildings are owned past times quondam families in addition to are abode to quondam businesses similar hardware stores, cloth shops, shrines, printers ... the quondam town is a mix of quondam in addition to new. Last weekend I was inward town for the Baba wedding street procession, celebrating local culture, in addition to later the procession had passed I met upwardly alongside Tim who also lives inward Phuket alongside his menage unit of measurement in addition to writes a blog, in addition to nosotros looked for somewhere to swallow - it was Lord's Day in addition to a lot of places are unopen on Sundays, but I saw the Rider Cafe sign shining downwards the street ...

The carte du jour is a mix - at that topographic point is Thai food, but to a greater extent than burgers in addition to large breakfasts, addition java in addition to cakes. I was sure as shooting create for a burger, in addition to there's a proficient selection of burgers in addition to proficient ol' western nutrient on the carte du jour ...
I went for the Rider Bacon Burger, in addition to a beer of course. It was a tranquillity Sunday, only us in addition to a twain of other customers. No sign of the possessor - his refer is Teddy - he's a guitar playing, Harley riding spinal surgeon who plant business office fourth dimension at the Phuket Bangkok International Hospital in addition to plays inward a ring too! Last fourth dimension I stopped past times at Rider for a beer the staff told me he was out playing guitar at the Hard Rock Cafe inward Patong. So, he's a busy guy! I promise to bump into him sometime.
Maybe the house is busier sometimes inward high season, I promise they instruct plenty trace of piece of job concern to remain opened upwardly because I create similar modest interesting restaurants alongside a fleck of character. Phuket Town has plenty of this, every house has it's ain manner in addition to that's great. This is the within of Rider Cafe ...
What's this? Burgers on the way! Looking good!
Looking similar my bacon burger on the left, but what is this monster on the correct alongside an egg on top?

Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 brusk menstruation of gluttony followed, which I conception to repeat sometime soon. Rider Cafe could move a to a greater extent than regular hangout. If entirely I had to a greater extent than fourth dimension to hang out! And Phuket Town has many proficient places to halt for nutrient in addition to drink, away from the crowds. This is my Phuket, non the mainstream tourist Phuket. I'd advise that if you lot desire to actually encounter Phuket, remain a few nights inward Phuket Town (see Hotels inward Phuket Town) equally good equally staying close the beach. It's really different.
UPDATE OCTOBER 2016 - Rider Cafe has been sold. Owner Teddy is straightaway working equally a surgeon again. I convey non been since it changed hands, but it is open.
