After a frustrating start with B52 sized flying bugs attacking me while waiting for the family to get up again normal service was resumed and the bugs wrestled from the house and the doors secured. The kids need to blow off some energy so time to play with them on the Playstation 3. Guitar Tutor 3 is still the most popular game at the moment after an inspired Christmas present idea of mine continues to provide hours of fun. That, closely followed by The Simpsons game which I find very entertaining and the kids seem to enjoy too despite being only 4 & 5. The little one who isn’t yet 1 has yet to mastered the controls but at least is not bickering with the elder two and takes great pleasure in changing TV channels mid game much to the displeasure of the other two. He does it with a charming chuckle, actually it is rather a dirty chuckle which I think he must have got from me.
Nikita's Bar in Rawai
Anyway today wifey wants to go eat at the beach sans kids (what’s new – she is rarely far from food). So we are off to Rawai to a cute little bar called Nikita’s Bar. It sits right on the beach and you can look out across Rawai bay with the sea almost lapping at your feet.
We had a very pleasant meal there, some crab, mussels, clams and assorted other tasty stuff all washed down with Heineken (80 baht) for her and Lao Beer (95 baht) for me. Lao beer is a pleasant change from Singha and Chang or Heineken and there are not so many places that sell it so that was a pleasant treat. The evening was cool and the mosquitos not too busy.
Food at Nikita's in Rawai Phuket
I love the sound of the sea and the candles provided a lovely gentle and romantic atmosphere as the sun went down. There are some good views out across the bay and the tide was in which was good because the beach at Rawai is not the most beautiful when the tide is out – I am not saying it is not pleasant but let’s just say there are better bathing beaches around.
So if you fancy a trip out of Patong for a pleasant evening you could do a lot worse than taking a trip here.
