When you say the word ‘Phuket’, immediately the beautiful white sand beaches, incredible scenery and crystal blue ocean comes to mind. Admittedly, if you want to be out in nature, then there aren’t many better places. This just means that we often forget about some of the super fun indoor attractions in Phuket. Trust us, you can have some rad days doing some awesome activities inside.
If you’ve been here a while, then you’ll know the relief when rainy season comes around, a rest-bite from the usual equatorial heat which absolutely cooks you. That being said, it might seem like there isn’t a lot to do on the island when it chucks it down with rain. Even in sunny season the heat can get way too much, it’s sweat central. That’s why it’s important to know the best indoor attractions in Phuket.
Believe it or not, there’s actually a tonne to do here. That’s why thousands of people from all over the world are making the big move. It’s like a city on the water without skyscrapers, SimCity style. The mixture of Thai culture, modernised shopping centres and posh hotels make this one of the ultimate places to live in the world.

Poached Breakfast Cafe
Poached Breakfast Cafe is a must to start your day. We are the perfect place to grab some brekkie or brunch before you start exploring the best indoor attractions in Phuket. Is it even worth going out if you’ve not got stuck into some scrumptious food first? Let’s face it, you’ll probably just be hangry all day if you don’t. No-one likes it when you’re hangry.
Our cafe is in a great location. We’re right in the heart of Phuket; central to some of the most epic attractions which are only a few minutes drive away. Our cafe is cosy and feels like a home away from home. We have Nordic-style minimalist decor, with specious seating and comfy booths. Our overhanging foliage, neutral colours and fantastic natural lighting make you feel like you’re immersed in the laid back island-life. Sounds nice, right? Well, just wait until you see some of the food we have to offer on out Aussie-inspired menu.
Can’t decide what breakfast food to have because they all taste so good? Then dig into our ‘Breakfast Burrito’. It’s all of the best brekkie flavours loaded into a burrito; they explode in your mouth and it tastes delicious. We combine a succulent spicy sausage with some fluffy smokey scrambled eggs, melty Monterrey Jack cheese and a fresh zing, with our avocado-tomato salsa. How yummy does that sound?
The ‘Sweet Potato & Zucchini Fritters’ are right up there with some of the tastiest veggie dishes you’ll find. The inside of the fritters are soft and the outside is flawlessly crisp. We top them with some sweet tomato chutney, a rich, creamy poached egg and smooth, buttery smashed avo. If that doesn’t quite cut it, then you can also add some sautéed mushrooms and thick slices of pan-fried halloumi for a really small price. A veggie dish fit for royalty!
We can’t miss out on telling you about our signature dish either. The ‘Pulled Pork Eggs Benny’ is mouthwateringly amazing. Just writing about it gets our tastebuds tingling. Our homemade, light sourdough is topped with tender, succulent pulled pork shoulder which falls apart in your mouth. We also serve silky poached eggs, crunchy green apple slices and juicy pomegranate; it’s an unbelievable amalgamation of flavours which pop with every bite.
Whether it’s healthy, light, calorie rich or a little it naughty, we have something for everyone. Make sure you satisfy your tummy, ready to enjoy yourself without the worry of finding food, at some of the best indoor attractions in Phuket.
Jungcelyon
Jungcelyon is one of the coolest shopping centres you’ll ever go to, it’s that good. As far as indoor attractions in Phuket go, this is right up there with the best. This massive shopping centre has a load of awesome places to eat in the evening; from Irish pubs to posh restaurants, there’s also fast food places too. There’s all sorts of shops, from clothes markets, to high-end brands and huge food shops. The best part though, is the second floor, it’s got some great play areas, trampoline parks, arcades, laser tag and so much more.
Phuket 3D Museum
To some of you this won’t make sense, we live in a 3D world so what on Earth is a 3D museum? Think of it more as an ‘illusion playground’. This place is so much fun but make sure you bring a camera! Different rooms have completely different themes, you’ll look like you’re on top of a mountain in one room and floating in lava in another. If it’s raining and you need to find one of the top indoor attractions in Phuket, this one’s very entertaining.
Aquaria
Aquaria is one of those indoor attractions in Phuket that you just can’t say no to. Who doesn’t love an amazing aquarium? This aquarium is massive, clean and full of huge tanks and fish. Whether it’s turtles, sharks, penguins or Nemo fish, it’s got them all. There’s also a reptiles section if you love your snakes. It’s located in Central Shopping Mall, meaning that you can spend some time shopping afterwards too!
