Phuket - part 1

Sunday, June 15, 2008

I finally copied the photos from Justin's camera, after so long.... I hope I still remember what exactly happened there. And I miss Phuket so much.. And I thinkit's really time to change my pc as it lagged like hell when I was posting up this blog. Especially when uploading the photos. Now you know why do I blog so rarely.

DAY 1
My mom sent us to the airport. I'm really glad to have her as she is always so helpful, this is the 2nd time she sending both of us to the airport early in the morning, and driving home alone after that :(

Excited as always.
The journey there was shorter than what I expected. About an hour we arrived adey. A van picked us up and there it took about half an hour for the van to stop.

Nothing much but just some lousy shopping tours. In the van was another family from UK. I supposed it's compulsory for all tourists to visit there. And I don't understand why those tourists from China are always the ones that get excited about it so much, even knowing that they usually "slaugther" the tourists, by somehow making them to buy it.

and then, we had our first meal there. It was roasted chicken and duck rice. I ordered tom yum too... Heheh we both really greedy and we immediately fell in love with the food from our first bite, and we knew that we gonna enjoy the food so much for the following 3 days! :p

My first time visitng a Thai temple.

We saw this stall selling Thai coconuts. Hehe soo fresh and each of us bought one.

After that we started our jouney to the famous Patong Beach, where our hotel was located. We stopped by another hotel for our complimentary 1 hour Thai massage and dinner. Again, it was our firt time, we were so excited and Justin non stop giggling throughout the session, too ticklish for him :p

After the massage, we were served tea, and some cookies, before we went for our dinner.

cute cups and delicious cookies. We were asked to fill up a comment form.

After the short break, we were ushered for our complimentary dinner.

We had it next to the hotel swimming pool.

After the dinner, we checked in our hotel. It was already 8pm, but to Phuket, the night was always young.

After an hour break, we walked to the night market area. Then we saw this building and music, Justin gone crazy! It was his favourite Muay Thai!!!! That day was a Sunday and they had matches. Justin was a big fan of Muay Thai, that he paid for the ticket without hesitation, even though they were not cheap. 1300bath for 1, which was around RM130/ticket for a seat at the so called VIP area, nearer to the rink.

A little dark. But this was the so called the champion of the matches. He did so many funny stunts, I think he's idiotic.

We had beer while watching the matches. omg. Swollen eyes, pimpled face. I should be glad that Justin still wants me. sigh

The matches ended at about 12.30 am. And yet that area was still packed. For your information, "that area" , is actually an area of few streets, that full of stalls selling stuffs, shops, lotsa clubs and pubs, and they opened till late night, very happening. Ah kuas walking around, ang moh men with ah kua in their arms are also all around. Hehe cut it short, best place to watch ang moh and ah kuas :p

And the best thing is, no matter how late it is, you can still find food around!!!

Choose and they will barbeque it for you! 2nd best thing, they sell pork!!! Hehe Justin was choosing our supper before we called it a day.

We then went back to our hotel, so exhausted.

DAY 2
We did not do much on the 2nd day. We woke up at 9am, for the buffet breakfast, then went back to bed :p In the afternoon, we changed, and walked out. I would say it was really a damn right choice for us to choose that hotel, walking distance to everywhere.

We had our lunch, and we walked to the famous Patong beach.

We paid 160baths for 2 beach chairs and umbrella, to sit down at the beach and staring at some ang mohs with big tummy.

You've gotta pay for this~

That night, we had dinner at this Thai restaurant, and again I ordered the authentic tomyam. I had tom yam almost every meal.

We truly enjoyed Thai food. Hmmmmm

After dinner, again we walked on the street. We booked our seats for a trip to Phi Phi Island the next day. For every single cent you are going to spend at Phuket, you must bargain. From buying clothes, seafood, tuk tuk, to even buying a trip. We got our seats for 1300baths per person, around RM130. The strating price was 2500baths, terrible isn't it?

Then, we stopped by at one of the lounge, and had some drinks.

The view from where we sat.

After the drink, we walked around and shopped abit again. Then at 12am, I had my manidure and pedicure done. How cool is that? 12am late night and there are still so many activites available!!

1 a.m, we slept and ready to wake up early the next day for our whole day trip!!!

Day 3 to be continued hehe
