Ma Doo Bua

Cafe Bang Tao
Working hours: Mon - Sun: 09:00 - 21:00

One of the most “Instagrammable” spots in Phuket. Where else have you seen such gigantic water lilies? People come to Ma Doo Bua in Phuket not just for the food but to take photos with some of the largest water lilies in the world, with diameters reaching up to two meters!

Guests can opt for a paid drone photo and video session, starting at 500 baht per person. However, taking pictures on the pier is free — just be prepared to wait your turn, as it’s a popular spot.

The Ma Doo Bua restaurant with lily ponds is undoubtedly a stunning location, but due to the high number of visitors (some even holding full photoshoots), it’s best to avoid peak hours or plan extra time for waiting.
