Phuket Old Town, Thailand 2024

[pesquisalitoranea]

Eu prometi e cumpri, viu? Voltei aqui hoje com um roteiro de 1 dia na ilha de Phuket! Eu espero que você passe bem mais tempo do que isso por lá, mas eu só quero te mostrar o que te aguarda nessa ilha! Vamos lá?

Eu te indicaria começar o seu dia bem cedinho, assistindo o nascer do sol lá na Praia de Kata! Confia em mim, você vai adorar a vibe mais calma e a companhia dos surfistas.

Em seguida, vá direto pro Grande Buda! É uma estátua gigante de mais de 45 metros de altura. Dá pra você ver tudo lá de cima.

Depois, visite o templo Wat Chalong. Vai por mim, você pode não ser budista, mas o lugar é muito bonito, colorido e é um clássico da ilha. Só se lembra que você não pode entrar lá com roupas curtas e nem usando sapatos!

Almoce no Three Monkeys, um restaurante em Mueang Phuket localizado praticamente na porta do Hanuman World. A decoração te leva pra dentro da selva!

Explore Phuket Old Town! O centro histórico é bonito, colorido e vai te surpreender, pode acreditar. De longe, uma das minhas partes favoritas da ilha.

No fim da tarde e à noite, se você procura um agito, vá para Patong! A Praia de Patong é sempre muito movimentada, então com certeza você vai achar algo pra se entreter ali.

Caso a praia não te entretenha o suficiente (e caso você não esteja com a família), passe pela Bangla Road, nossa Las Vegas Tailandesa. Tem de tudo naquele lugar, acredite, mas repetindo: eu não recomendaria para um passeio familiar.

Você pode escolher jantar em alguma barraquinha do Malin Plaza ou em algum dos vários bares de Patong que ficam abertos uma noite inteira! Ah! Se for no fim de semana, você tem a chance de conhecer o Naka Market, que tem uma vibe parecida com a do Malin.

Caso você esteja com a família ou só não goste de um lugar movimentado, fuja de Patong e procure algo mais próximo de Surin que é bem mais reservado (e se quiser algo mais sofisticado, sempre tem a opção de ir ao Black Ginger, só prepare o seu bolso pra desembolsar, ele é, realmente, um restaurante de luxo).

Se você tiver um pouco mais de tempo do que isso, eu super indicaria o passeio à ilha de James Bond, onde foi gravado um trecho do filme, e uma visita à minha Rádio (sim, ela é aberta a visitação), vai que você me encontra por lá?

Não se esqueça de passar o protetor solar e usar roupas confortáveis! Ninguém quer ficar queimado com esse solzão, né?

Walking through the picturesque streets of Cardinal Hill, you find Rowan Suthikarn, the 33 year old farmer originally from Cardinal Hill, WA. Living alongside them in such a small town, you know that they're dependable and avoidant, but what you might not know is that they are a human and that they’re hiding something… ― chai hansen, bisexual, cis male, he/him. threads / prompts / wanted connections / musings / pinterest / playlist

full name: rowan suthikarn

nickanme(s): roe

gender + pronouns: male + he/him

age: 33

birthdate: :11th of august 1957 (leo)

occupation: farmer

hometown: cardinal hill, wa

BIOGRAPHY

The eldest of three siblings, born and raised in Cardinal Hill, Rowan grew up immersed in the farm’s rhythm, adopting the schedule of nature as his own. Though he fell cursed to the unavoidable longing of small town teenagers for something else, something more. Familial duty and the comfort of farm life kept Rowan anchored to the town for a couple more years, working odd jobs besides besides being a farm hand, and it’s not until both his siblings have packed their bags and left town the second that diplome touched their hands that he finally gathers the courage for a “gap year”, well aware that he’d never leave if he didn’t allow that wind of change to sweep him up along. His family’s not extremely wealthy by any means, but they’re … comfortable. Being one of the main dairy suppliers around, sending two of three kids off to college is relatively easy - but Rowan’s backpacking trip is funded entirely by himself. He hikes his way through Canada, then spends a few months in Phuket when his Yaa sends him a check to come visit her for his birthday. [ redacted ] The call to return home comes at the right time, and Rowan can’t wait to board that flight back to Washington. Disillusion colors his 18-hour trip back home, where his father unceremoniously passes the farm down to him, too incapacitated to continue running it with only the help of a couple farmhands and his mother. His siblings nowhere to be found, familial duty once again makes him step up, the past year quickly forgotten, pushed to the very back of his mind. The truth is, uncharacteristic for many small town kids, quiet farm life had been calling out to him for quite some time, and once he sets foot on familiar ground there’s a weight lifted off his shoulder, and he’s grounded. And so he settles back into life relatively easily. Isn’t even as mad as he should be when Sterling turns up at his doorstep after vanishing off the face of the earth for two years. The comfort of a familiar face is priceless, and what kind of friend would he be not to invite him with open arms?

There’s something haunting him, though, something that not even the settled routine of generations of farmers can disperse. During the day, at least, his mind’s quiet, stifled by the chipper of birds and idle chit chat. And at night, Rowan takes his escapism to the dance floor. And if there is no dance floor, then he opens one, between bar stools in a darkened, run-down ditch of a bar. Flashing lights, a smoke machine that continuously clouds his view, he loses himself in Bronski Beat and temporary connections. He’s well aware that the two sides of his life aren’t balanced, that both are simply a means to run from something. But it works, for now.

Rowan’s sort of the “go to guy” for help, whether it’s fixing fences or lending an ear, the kind of guy that’s always there when you need him. Has a strong sense of duty towards the town. 

Your typical “Hometown Charmer”, he appears kind and approachable in public, greets everyone on the street, takes time to make chit chat with the cashiers, etc.

Likes to think he’s trusted in the community, especially older folks who live around the farms who’ve seen him grow up.

At night, when he lets the music + dance floor pull him into a trance, he’s a massive flirt. Usually shy during the day, he blossoms at night. Bit of a reputation of rarely going home alone.

Due to things in his past, Rowan has a certain mistrust of magic. Sometimes he's completely chill with it, sometimes he's suddenly anxious and makes sure to stay out of certain situations.

Personality: Grounded, empathetic, playfully charismatic. He has a wild side he carefully keeps compartmentalized, only letting it out when he feels he’s “earned it.”

MISC./HADCANONS I THOUGHT WERE CUTE

Names every cow on the farm and insists they have “distinct personalities” that only he understands.

Talks to the animals when no one is around, giving them advice like they’re his co-workers.

Absolutely cannot stand store-bought mint products—he says they taste "fake."

Hums or taps rhythms with his hands when idle.

Has a ritual of making himself a cup of spearmint tea and watching the sunrise every morning, no matter how early he has to wake up.

Can whistle a tune perfectly but refuses to admit he practices.

There’s a big, lazy barn cat who likes to sleep on warm hay bales. Rowan pretends he doesn’t care about the cat but secretly spoils it.

A rich, warm laugh that he uses to diffuse tension

WANTED CONNECTIONS SIBLING(S) - Both of his younger siblings have abandoned small town farm life the second the opportunity arose, and are presumably doing very well for themselves in a bigger city. Rowan probably doesn't keep in touch with them as often as he should - there's that weird sense of having been left behind that drove a wedge in their relationship. FARMHANDS - People that help out at the farm, could be a steady job, could be seasonal work, Rowan always welcomes help with open arms (actively breaking with his father's aversion to accepting it). Fun coworker dynamics! But on a farm! FRIENDS - Just your basic average friendly connections. Rowan is presumably well-liked around town, he's an approachable, laid-back guy and he always makes sure to take time to chat with someone when he comes into town. / Another version of this could be CLUB FRIENDS - Rowan likes to go dancing as a form of escapism, maybe at venues a little bigger outside of town, and since he's careful not to let his 'day personality' bleed into his 'night personality', he'd hang with a completely different crowd at night. FLING(S) - So, Rowan has sort of a reputation among people also frequenting nightlife venues, and that is that he rarely goes home alone. One beer in and he's more charming than he already is, the compliments flow freely (and he's a surprisingly good dancer, too). One thing leads to another - those encounters never last long or go emotionally deep, though. (Could be fun to explore a fling turning into something more though??) PLAYFUL RIVALRY - exactly what it says on the tin! Maybe someone from a neighbouring farm, maybe someone working at a place he delivers dairy or cherries to. They'd have likely grown up it Cardinal Hill, too - or it could be something new!

Es ist so heiß, dass wir gar nicht wissen, was wir überhaupt anziehen sollen. 🥵

Aber heute wollen wir einen Ausflug machen.

Von ins Hotel aus ist fussläufig fast nichts erreichbar. Daher haben wir ein Taxi gerufen und sind auf Empfehlung von unserem Hotelchef nach Phuket in die Old Town gefahren, da dort in der Nähe gerade auch ein Vegetarisches Foodfestival sein soll.

Die Häuschen waren ganz süß und hier war schon deutlich mehr los, als bei unserem Hotel.

Wir haben uns ein bisschen durch die verschiedenen Gerichte probiert und sind irgendwann satt auf einer Bank im Park gelandet. Hier hat ein Mann super schöne Musik gespielt 🎷

Komplett durchgeschwitzt ging es wieder zum Hotel. Die Energie am heutigen Tag war nicht unbedingt größer als gestern 😂

Aber egal, wir sind ja hier zum Urlaub machen und genießen gerade die Zeit, in der wir nichts machen. Nach den letzten Wochen und Monaten ist das auch bitter nötig.. 😉

NO REST FOR THE WICKED | E | 48.7k | vegaspete AU

chapter 9: Vegas and Pete spend an uneventful day in Phuket Town.

Pete’s eyes drop to the contents of the box. Just one piece, really: a wide choker-style necklace, studded with a million tiny diamonds. It looks expensive. More expensive than the rest of the shop. More expensive than most of anything anyone Pete knows back in Bangkok would wear: the type of thing that would make you a perfect target for mugging back in his old neighborhood (except, of course, if you were someone like Vegas: at the back of luxury cars, permanently surrounded by surveillance and security).

Vegas picks the necklace up by one of its delicate chains.

The dim shop light bounces off the diamonds as it spins, dangling beautifully from his fingers. It’s clearly one of the most prized objects in the store, contrasting strongly with the faded damask walls and dusty display windows.

“It’s beautiful,” Pete finds himself saying, overcome with the slightest sense of awe.

☀️🏝️👬🏻 fic details under the cut ❤️‍🔥⛓

☀️ summary:

Pete has long left Thailand. He is now living the American dream, working long hours to make his rich clients richer and himself more miserable than ever.

But when his best friend Porsche invites him to his destination wedding to the mysterious Kinn, Pete finds himself suddenly thrown into the world of the Theerapanyakul family, the silent machinations underpinning their wealth, and Kinn’s cousin Vegas—who, for reasons unknown, has made it his mission to tear down every assumption Pete holds about his life.
