What to Do at Boat Avenue Phuket?
Contents
Boat Avenue Phuket is a relatively new shopping and dining neighbourhood with growing popularity at the entrance of the Laguna complex in Bangtao, Cherngtalay. It started modestly a few years back, progressively attracting more and more trendy restaurants, bars and shops until it became the fashionable shopping and dining destination it is today.
It evolved and remained smart enough to keep the area spacious with a fun, stylish touch that changed the face of Laguna Complex. The site is spacious and inviting, with a great mix of local food and restaurants, including a few by the lake, creating a relaxing atmosphere at the end of the day.
Where and what to eat
Boat Avenue will spoil you with dining choices. There are dozens of restaurants serving a surprisingly vast selection of cuisines. Of course, you’ll be able to enjoy Thai food and seafood, but some sophisticated European food and Bampot Kitchen received a Michelin plate.
