The place is amazing. Definitely worth a visit for a photo. It's better to arrive at the opening itself. There is a counter at the entrance where you can make an appointment for a photo. I arrived at 11 and could only make an appointment at 2:30 p.m. But if you are not interested in photos or videos on a drone, then you can just eat in a cafe and take a photo on the premises yourself. The price tag in the cafe is above average, but the dishes are quite good.

Of course, with its pomp and queues in the photo, this is a minus, but the food is really delicious there, the service is fast despite the very heavy workload, if you are in Thailand, then you should visit this place.
There are also various types of services, if you want really beautiful photos for a blog, then there are services for an additional fee, photos from drones on a boat and videos.

I definitely had to look at it. And I looked. Objectively speaking, it is a paradise for phototerrorists and bloggers.
The place is really visually unusual.
But you have to book your shots far in advance if you want to wow.
We took some good shots and drove on.
We took a taxi here, had an expensive and mediocre snack in a cafe. The staff doesn't try very hard. Cook too)) But they didn't go for that either.
It's beautiful. That's all.

Oh, this place is breathtakingly beautiful, the water lilies are huge, and the photos are fantastic!!🤩😍
And now for more details. It's a restock, and you can't take pictures there until you order something (we took fresh), the food there isn't very good, we didn't eat ourselves, but by the look of what we brought to others, I wouldn't order there.
There is a photographer's service, you can take pictures among the water lilies, but only for cash. A photo alone costs 500 baht.

We were in a cafe in April 2025, arrived at 9:30, took a photo shoot for three for 1000 baht at 10-20. We chose a boat, waited on a separate veranda, and took pictures of the lake on our own. We were invited, the guys are so good! Everything is fast,
verified, prompt, fix the dress, say smile! As a result, 8 cool photos! It was sent to the phone via airdrop. And they gave me 3 more minutes to take photos on my own! Super!!!

A very beautiful place, high-quality and delicious cuisine, good and fast service, the only disadvantage for me is that it's a long way to get there, otherwise it's just a tower)

It's a nice place. We lived nearby and stopped by when it was time. We had a delicious meal and were served quickly. There were no queues for the photo, there weren't many people. I guess I got lucky😂 Good mood to help you, we were satisfied with both the location and the snack.

This extraordinary cafe is among the TOP 10 best instagrammed places!
It's called the cafe with water lilies Ma Doo Bua
An authentic place, with a beautiful view, delicious lemonades and smoothies.
Admission is free, but be prepared to stand in line just to go to this cafe and sit at a table, it's better to go earlier.
They say the cuisine there is so-so, we just took smoothies.
I really wanted to order a professional photo shoot and video from a quadcopter, the cost starts from 500 baht, but again a tight recording, we drove for 2 days and it didn't work out, waiting for 2-3 hours.
If you are in Phuket, be sure to visit this place.

It's a beautiful cafe, everything on the menu that was ordered was delicious. The prices are average. I would even say it's cheap for a cafe with such a view. You can take photos for free, you can order a photo shoot from 500 b on a boat or a video of 800 baht. But honestly, we didn't like the photo shoot, they take pictures quickly, they gave us only 7 photos without selection and processing.

An overrated place))
The price tag is above average, despite the fact that the kitchen is very ordinary.
I heard that people here were queuing for photos for 40-60 minutes. While we spent no more than 5-7 minutes waiting. I wouldn't have waited any longer, to be honest.
Yes, it's beautiful and unusual, but I repeat, it's overrated.

Like most tourist destinations in Phuket, it's just a conveyor belt for squeezing money out of tourists. There's a queue, you can make an appointment on time, and then let's hurry up and run.
It's beautiful, but the water lilies look like artificial ones.

If you are ready to stand in line for the sake of bright photos, you are here. It is better to arrive either very early or towards the end of the day (at lunch the expectation will be maximum). The cocktails are good, the food is not a fountain.

Come here only if you want to stand in line for a photo with water lilies, the rest drive past, this is not the place for which you need to turn off the road)))
P.S. in real life, water lilies do not look as presentable as in the photo

The location is overrated by instagrammers. An ordinary cafe with a pond with water lilies. They take pictures on a boat for a fee, in several versions.

We arrived at 9:30 and already signed up for a photo shoot at 10:00. There weren't many people. Although they were sitting in the cafe until 11:00, by this time people had already started to catch up.
The cafe is not tasty at all. I read that the coffee is delicious, but no, it's not delicious here. So are salads. The prices are really overpriced. They paid 1,000 baht for two coffees, a salad and cheese sticks.

It's just a one-time thing. More for wedding photo shoots. It's not very interesting to sit and look at people in different poses against the background of water lilies.

On the way from the elephant nursery, we stopped by to take photos. Mid-October, the second half
of course, there were very few people. Entrance to the cafe is free, food and drinks were not ordered. We spent about 15-20 minutes for an independent family photo shoot.

The location is certainly Cool🔥 for Instagram, the most important thing is to come to a restaurant in reality, be sure to order something. fresh mango coconut 250 baht. Pizza about 20cm 400 baht. The food is very expensive. If you want a beautiful photo from a drone 500 baht. By yourself in a boat 300 baht. You can visit once, especially if you live nearby. On the territory of the photo without a boat for free

It's a great place for a photo
The food is not edible, if you are very hungry, then you can take a bite😄 it is better to take only a drink and wait in line for a photo shoot, you need to arrive by 9-10 am in order to have time to take time for a photo shoot, take sunglasses with you for a photo. A photographer will help you pose, 15 minutes are allocated in the photo
Everything is fast and coordinated
A place for photos only, not for food

It's a pretty overpriced place to take a photo.
The coffee is delicious, and my friends liked the breakfast too. You need to arrive before the opening in order to be the first to enter, immediately take a table and take free photos on the bridge and grid.

The cafe is wonderful!!! One of the most beautiful places in Phuket!!! We took protein wine by the glass and ice cream . It is very tasty and beautifully served! Yes, there is a queue, but it is small , about 20 minutes. Negative reviews are written by people who are not satisfied with the 10% added to the bill. No need to look for disadvantages where there are none! I recommend 100%

It's an instragrammatical place, but that's it. The prices are too high, the waiters, of course, work on stream, so you should not expect cordiality and hospitality. The food is tasteless, and there is nothing to choose from. The place is beautiful, but you shouldn't expect something Wow. The place is too hyped, and from scratch. There are no air conditioners, so it's uncomfortable and you won't sit much, that's what it's designed for: I took a picture and left. In general, it can be seen from the locals that their tourists are noticeably fucked up. It's definitely not worth going here specifically - no service, no delicious food, no pleasant atmosphere. A place for a photo and that's it.

Nicely. It is delicious and quite inexpensive. Considering that the cafe is very instagrammable, Taking a picture from the pier is free. If you want a photo from a copter on a boat - for a fee (it seems 500 baht)

The location is beautiful, but the quality of service and food is terrible and not worth the money.
We waited for food for an hour with terrible service, as several times we asked the waiter to bring us at least the water we ordered, as well as napkins.
The Caesar salad was disgusting, as were the cheese balls and tom yams. The last straw was the ice cream we ordered, which was so frozen that I couldn't put a spoon in it - it was hard as a stone!
The coffee was good, but it took an incredible amount of time to make it.
The service we received is not worth the additional 10% of the amount charged by this cafe, to be honest, we did not receive any services at all.

Beautiful location, great photos. We arrived at 9:40, the recording for the photo shoot was already at 13:30) We did not wait, but drank coffee (by the way, very good), I will take wonderful pictures, the queue in front of us was of 3 people. And already at 10:10 we went on about our business. There are probably long queues in the afternoon and late afternoon.
