HAPPENINGS<br />
THAILAND<br />
SPOTLIGHT<br />
Noodle Icon<br />
Located between Kata and<br />
Karon beaches, the Phad <strong>Thai</strong> shop<br />
has been serving up wokfuls <strong>of</strong> its<br />
namesake for as long as anyone can remember.<br />
The hole-in-the-wall noodle joint became a local<br />
icon years ago after drawing praise from the<br />
Lonely Planet travel guide.<br />
As the name suggests, it specialises in Phad<br />
<strong>Thai</strong>, but with recipes that have foodies flocking<br />
from all over the world for a taste. Other dishes<br />
that merit attention here include the rich and<br />
hearty beef noodle soup. The Phad <strong>Thai</strong> Shop, 12/3,<br />
Karon, Phuket; Tel: +66 (0) 63 521 1170<br />
FOREST SWIM<br />
Hidden in the heart <strong>of</strong> lush rainforest, the<br />
Emerald Pool is a natural wonder located just 45<br />
minutes’ drive from Krabi Airport.<br />
Turned a vibrant turquoise by natural mineral<br />
deposits, the water here is ideal for a cool and<br />
refreshing dip in the sultry forest heat.<br />
The Emerald Pool lies at the end <strong>of</strong> a trail<br />
that takes about 15 minutes on foot. Be sure to<br />
pick up snacks from vendors at the entrance and<br />
be mindful that it can get crowded at weekends.<br />

DELIGHTFUL BITES<br />
The world is full <strong>of</strong> steamy dim sum<br />
shops stacked with bamboo baskets,<br />
but Eeyeb Dim Sum boasts much more<br />
than just piping-hot dumplings.<br />
Fresh ingredients, a varied menu<br />
and relaxed atmosphere are part <strong>of</strong><br />
the attraction, but superb flavours and<br />
great service are the main draw. Apart<br />
from the delicious crab, shrimp and<br />
pork dim sum, diners keep returning<br />
for Khanom Jeen or rice noodles<br />
with curry. Pan-fried yellow noodles<br />
and chicken curry with roti are also<br />
favourites on the menu. Eeyeb Dim<br />
Sum, 12, 103-104 Chao <strong>Fah</strong> Tawan Tok<br />
Rd., Wichit, Mueang, Phuket; Tel: +66 (0)<br />
