Mad
Hog:
Magical
Escape
for
Dads
and
Young
Wizards
in
Phuket
Town
Wandering
through
Phuket
Town
with
our
two
young
adventurers,
we
stumbled
upon
a
curiosity
even
their
full
bellies
couldn't
resist:
Mad
Hog,
a
"Harry
Potter"-themed
cafe
with
a
tilted
door
straight
out
of
Diagon
Alley.
As
a
solo
dad
of
two,
@vanliferenegades,
I
know
the
power
of
unique
experiences,
and
this
one
did
not
disappoint!
Theme
Park
for
Potterheads:
Stepping
inside
was
like
stepping
onto
the
Hogwarts
Express.
Dimly
lit
and
brimming
with
attention
to
detail,
the
props
and
decor
transported
us
to
a
world
of
magic.
From
potion
bottles
lining
the
shelves
to
Quidditch
memorabilia
adorning
the
walls,
everything
screamed
"Hogwarts,"
sparking
gasps
of
wonder
from
my
kids.
Beyond
Butterbeer:
While
the
"bewitching"
themed
drinks,
both
alcoholic
and
kid-friendly
mocktails,
were
a
hit,
Mad
Hog
offered
more
than
just
wizarding
beverages.
The
menu,
accessible
through
iPads
(cool
factor
points!),
featured
a
variety
of
dishes
that
satisfied
even
our
picky
eaters.
And
for
me,
the
extensive
craft
beer
selection
was
a
welcome
reward
after
a
day
of
exploring.
Family-Friendly
Fun:
The
staff
were
incredibly
friendly,
engaging
with
the
kids
and
adding
to
the
magical
atmosphere.
The
dimly
lit
environment
might
not
be
ideal
for
naps,
but
the
excitement
kept
my
little
ones
wide-eyed
and
entertained.
They
even
have
an
outdoor
seating
area
for
those
seeking
a
change
of
scenery.
Bonus
Perks
for
Vanlifers:
Free
Wi-Fi
was
a
welcome
bonus
for
a
remote-working
dad
like
me.
Plus,
the
location
offered
plenty
of
street
parking,
making
it
easy
to
park
our
van
and
explore
the
cafe.
Final
Verdict:
While
not
ideal
for
a
quiet
lunch
with
toddlers,
Mad
Hog
is
a
must-visit
for
any
dad
(or
mom)
traveling
with
Harry
Potter
fans.
The
unique
theme,
delicious
food
and
drinks,
and
friendly
atmosphere
make
it
a
magical
experience
that
both
you
and
your
little
wizards
will
remember
long
after
your
visit.
Just
be
prepared
for
potential
sugar
highs
