Phuket 09.28.07 to 10.02.07

09.28.07 Tiger airway to Phuket. Tried to travel light but damn those beauty products. I am a vainpot.
Took a 9pm flight to Phuket. Lucky got a laptop along, so i watched a few episodes of Simpsons. lalaaal The Simpsons. Humming to the song...

Upon reaching, walked to the booth way at the end to get a cab. Way cheaper compared to privates ones. However, the driver drove like nobody business. And the speedometer was not even working. Arrow pointing to Zero. Damn him.

Reached first destination - Andaman Beach Suites
which costs less then SGD 30 per person for a night stay.
Upon curiosity,I explored around the room. Pulled out the drawers. To my astonishment, i saw 2 books. One indicating like sorts of living the buddha way. Another describes the malay god or watsoever. I cant really remember the details or the titles of the book. Damn it. But i did not bother much as i was too tired.

Grrrrrrrrrg. Stomach Rumbling. Time for supper.
********************************************
Saw a few food stalls. Seafood, BBQ,
Stop at a nearby food stall which looked crowded. Must have taste good.
I ordered wanton noodle.
Delicious. Lady Boss is pretty too :)
Soup - sweet and light. Yeah, sweet.Noodle is QQ enuff. 5 stars *****
Slow stroll back to the hotel.

I was tired after a whole day of work. Had a quick shower and doze off on the bed. Sound asleep. *Snoring*


09.29.07
Breakfast was not that fantastic. Buffet style. But still managed to fill my hunger.
Checking out to another resort and camwhore...hahahahah



We took a cab to another resort Baan Yindee. Love the location as I strongly believe I wont get hit by the Tsunami. (located at the hill side) It could never be better :D
Heard that it is famous for gays but heh. Main purpose to relax and relieve stress.

I would say Baan Yindee is a boutique hotel with only 20 rooms available. I paid for SGD 100 per pax (per night). Deluxe.But got a free upgrade to Junior Suite due to fully taken. Lucky me.

Entrance to the hotel room. Access to the pool easily. Decor is beautiful too.



Jacuzzi in the middle.


Then we proceed to the Phuket town for some exploration and lunch.
Had Mexican food for lunch. still prefer meat for mexican food. Fish has a weird. taste Haha. And lime magarita for lunch. So cheap la. Only 9baht







Burpped* Meal Done.


Took a walk around the phulet town and then proceeded to rent a bike. Traveling by bike is so common over there. And best thing - passenger need not wear a helmet. Whee!!!
Free as the wind. Hah!
Gotta pay 3000 baht as deposit. 3000 baht so cheap hor.

Anyway, the man was kind enough to recommend us a location to watch the sunset. SUNSET..Goodnesses.

A long journey. Around 15 mins..uphills and downhills. Wind blowing onto my face. Hair started tangling. Urggh..forgot to tie my hair.

So this is Phuket, Aww
Wat a beautiful scenery.... So blueeee. Strong wind and waves too.




Actual view,





My 小绵羊



At evening, we purchased tickets for the famous Simon Cabaret show.
My first Cabaret show ever.






Props were really well done. Magnificent I would described. They had really put up an excellent show. *Applause*
The transversite were really awesome and they lip sync so well. A few were comical. Anyway, it was really entertaining.

A tiring day of exploration and entertainment. Time for my bed.

09.30.07
An island trip. Signed up for a package @ less than a 1000 baht
Gotta wake up early. @_@
Finally can get to visit the Phi Phi Island. Naked Hunks or babes??
Will i get to see them?

Boarding the speedboat.

45mins speedboat ride to first stop -Maya Beach
Sunny morning. Aww..gotta apply more sunblock.

On the speedboat..... Hair super messy....


Woah loooooook...









So this is where leonardo shoot the movie (The Beach) at Maya Beach.
Small and clean. nothing much to explore.
30 mins stay before to our next location for snorkeling.
Did not take any of the snorkeling shots. Was too excited then as only 45 mins to spend.





Gulp... a few sips of sea water. Salty. bleh.
Finally i get to co ordinate myself on controlling the breathing via mouth.

I was correct when i commented on the mask was too big.
(My fren, R, told me on MSN there should be different sizes)

Fishes all around me. Sea urchin is yucky, Corals are nice.
I dun have an underwater camera then. BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO HOOOOO

After 45 mins of snorkeling, we were brought to a cave to feed monkeys.
The guide was entertaining enough to brought us laughters. Some were lame though.
Monkeys are really fast eaters.



Lunch time. Food was not too bad. Love the vegetables keke.
Was too hungry and forgotten to take the pics of food served.

But not long after, it started raining. Rainy season after all.
And from then onwards, the whole journey was a horrible one.
Have to go through the rain and strong waves on the speedboat for a thorough 30 mins.
The motion was really awful. I felt nausea and dizzy but yet the most loathing thing is i cant puke. So i felt even worse.
still not brought back to phuket island. and stuck at somewhere. Did not get to feed the fishes either. :( Fiak..i even paid 20 baht for the loaf of bread.

I took a short nap on the bench.

Rain came and went off repeatedly.
Rain Rain go away, come again another day.

We have to stay under the rain again for another 30mins to return back to Phuket Island

This time, we chose to stand. That was a wonderful choice. :)
I will never ever ride on a speedboat during rainy days.

After experiencing of rain and waves, i decided to drop the idea of Jet ski.
Next time maybe.

10.01.07
Has taken a few snaps on the interior design of the room I stayed.
Do not envy me ....hoho

My comfy bed with fluffy pillows.




Cosy Corner..Balcony


Overview of my room...






Two basins..So no need to snatch HEH.. >_<



My bathtub.. Took a few bubble baths...





Now lady's fav part - Shopping.
Rain again. Damn it.
therefore, settled for a restaurant to have seafood for lunch.
common food that i dun even wanna take any pics. Except for a coca cola.

Weird Habit. Whenever I go oversea, i feel that cola is a must (at least once)


Shopping was okay only as all shops are selling almost the same thing. Managed to get some souvenires, boardshorts, beach flops, (haggling the price)

Tried my first Thai Massage at a hotel spa.
that feel so good. I will def give it a try again (if i am going thailand again)

Back to hotel, had KFC and watched DVDs - I am Sam & Shaun of the Dead.
Lucky for the DVD player, else I'll be bored to death.
Both movies are equally good and would recommend you to try it.

10.02.07 Had steak for dinner at posh restaurant @ HolidayInn Hotel.

Yummy and unique.
The steak was wrapped around with bread crust. Potato wrapped around with bacon.
The combination blended well enough ^_^





Goodbye to Phuket.
