Lake in water lilies

Seen from above, Lake in water lilies in Phuket is a photographer’s dream. Giant, circular lily pads spread across the water. They create a stunning visual. But what’s the story behind this picturesque spot? Lake in water lilies isn’t a natural wonder. It’s an artificial lake, specifically designed for Instagram-worthy photos. The restaurant Ma Doo Bua created this unique setting. It provides a backdrop of traditional Thai houses with pointed red roofs. A long pier extends into the lake, allowing visitors to pose amidst the lily pads. While the photos appear serene, the reality is a bit different. Queues often form on the pier as people wait their turn for the perfect shot. The restaurant itself offers a variety of Thai dishes. You can enjoy classics like Rad Na and pineapple fried rice. Or you can try local specialties like Moo Hong. Ma Doo Bua also caters to the selfie craze. They offer drone photography services. Imagine capturing a unique image of yourself on a traditional Thai boat or even standing on a giant lily pad. It’s a novel experience. However, keep in mind that Ma Doo Bua can get crowded, especially on weekends. The novelty factor draws in the crowds. It’s a great spot for that perfect tropical photo. But consider visiting on a weekday for a less hectic experience. The lake’s location in Cherngtalay, near Bang Tao Beach, makes it a bit of a trek from Patong or Kata. But for a unique photo opportunity and a taste of Thai cuisine, Lake in water lilies at Ma Doo Bua is worth the trip.
