It’s safe to say, people love to get involved in water activities in Phuket.

Poached Breakfast Cafe
Yes, you’re right, Poached Breakfast Cafe doesn’t have much to do with water activities in Phuket. Ordering a big glass of water and splashing it over your head could be considered a form of water activity, right? In all seriousness though, we are the perfect compliment to a big day out on the water. Our Aussie-inspired menu won’t disappoint.
We’re located in a great spot. Chalong is at the heart of the island, in the middle of some world-renowned beach towns. We’re only a couple minutes away from some of the best beaches around and the pier. It’ll be super easy for you to get anywhere you want after filling yourself up with some of our scrumptious food.
Our cafe has a chilled-out, relaxed, island-life vibe. The Nordic-style minimalist decor, fantastic natural lighting and spacious seating make us the place to come. We wouldn’t blame you if you wanted to stay in our snug booths forever!
Is there any better way to start your day, than with all the best brekkie flavours loaded into a burrito? Our ‘Breakfast Burrito’ is luscious. It’s packed with juicy flavours which explode in your mouth; our succulent, spicy sausage is combined with some fluffy, smokey scrambled eggs, melty Monterrey Jack cheese and a fresh, zingy tomato-avocado salsa. It’s so good you could probably eat 5 of them and still want more!
You need to get stuck into the ‘Pulled Pork Eggs Benny’ too. It’s right up there with the best food on the island. We make our sourdough in-house and we top it with some delicious, tender pulled-pork shoulder which is caped in a rich velvety apple cider hollandaise and some creamy poached eggs. We add juicy green apple for that all-important crunch and some sweet pomegranate to create the perfect balance of flavours. Take a bow son, that’s out of this world.
We serve up some tasty avocado dishes too; get a taste of that upper-middle class lifestyle, mmmmm jolly good! The ‘avocado smash’ is seriously smashing. We smother our sourdough in soft, buttery smashed avo and top it off with some salty, crumbly feta, 2 silky poached eggs and roasted heirloom cherry tomatoes ready to pop. Are you hungry yet?
Wave your hands in the air if you love naughty food! If you want to dig into some guilty food pleasures then look no further than our ‘Brioche French Toast’. Crisp on the outside and light on the inside, our toast is dusted with cinnamon and sweet icing sugar. A generous serving of sliced strawberries, banana and some thick vanilla ice cream is piled on top. We drizzle some maple syrup over the top, leaving your tastebuds fully satisfied.
See, the perfect way to start your day. Make sure you’re full, satisfied and ready to go before you enjoy all of the water activities in Phuket.
Patong Beach
Patong is a little crazy, but we all need a bit of crazy in our lives. If you’re looking for some adrenaline-filled water activities in Phuket, then this place has it all; jet skis, surfing, banana boats and even parasailing. The beach is full of like-minded people who love to get involved in the activities. To top it off, there are some great places to have some food and drink in the evening once you’ve finished in the ocean.
Phi Phi Islands
Get out on the water with one of the Phi Phi Island boat tours. After you’ve finished at Poached Breakfast Cafe, hop on a boat at Chalong Pier to Phi Phi Islands. You’ll have the opportunity to do a tonne of snorkelling and swimming in some incredible, scenic locations. Splash away under the world-famous limestone formations that sit in the turquoise-blue waters. Dreeeeaaaaamyyy
Bang Tao Beach
Bang Tao has a slow-moving, beach-life vibe to it. The beach is massive, with some awesome beach bars to relax at too. The amount of space in the sand and sea to do your thing is a huge positive of this place. The waves here are really fun, but it’s pretty safe as the waters are shallow. You can go surfing, kiteboarding and paddle boarding here. It’s a great spot for families to come and spend a day together to try out some cool water sports.
Where Should You Go to Find The Ultimate Water Activities in Phuket?
All of the places we’ve mentioned are pretty cool, so if you have the chance to go to them all, make sure you do. Our favourite though has to be the Phi Phi Islands tour. You can pretty much find the generic water sports anywhere up the west coast of the island, but the Phi Phi island tours are something special. There’s nowhere else in the world quite like it to go snorkelling and swimming.
One thing’s for sure though, you’ve got to start your day at Poached Breakfast Cafe. We’ve got some of the most delicious dishes you’ll ever lay hands on. Don’t knock it until you’ve tried it, it’s off-the-charts good. So, what are you waiting for? Get yourself down here!
