We are back! Yes, we had a great trip back from beautiful Phuket in Thailand for 6 days 5 nights! It'll be more wonderful if we can stay there for 10 days for other island hopping trips, hehe! Oh well, we always have chances to re-visit Phuket since it is nearby with one hour flight only from KL Malaysia.
We arrived at Phuket around 3.30 pm and we had sight seeing trip from the airport to Karon beach where we stayed for 5 nights. After exploring the downtown before and after our very first dinner in Phuket, we signed up 2 excursion island hopping trips with the local tour agency.
2nd day, we hop on the ferry to famous Phang Nga Bay for sightseeing and canoeing trip. Fortunately, we were so glad to meet 2 new Aussie friends - Neil & Svetlana - on boat. This lovely couple planned to spend 10 days on the island for their honeymoon! How sweet! :) It was pretty fun and enjoyable trip while canoeing with our crew. The James Bond Island becomes more famous and be the top 3 must-go attractions for Phuket visiting. After one day excursion trip with people from all of the world, we catch-up with Neil & Svetlana for a drink after our dinner again.
3rd day, we had a very relaxing day at Karon and Kata beach together with the lovely couple Neil & Svetlana. Neil was borned in Melbourne and Svetlana is Russion but now married to Neil. Neil is a good surfer. 4 of us swam in the ocean and surf with boggie board. That was a fantastic experience!! Neil taught King some tips of looking at the wave and the skill to surf. That was wonderful and fun afternoon to 4 of us! Of course, we were tan, especially me and King with no Radicool shirt protection, ha! Neil is the owner of Radicool in Australia, which is a famous shirt brand for +100UV protection. :) After a tiring swimming and surfing, we had our tasty and cheap BBQ prawns at local hawker stall. The shrimps were just so delicious, hehehe! After spending 5 hours with Neil & Svetlana, we head back to our hotel for dinner while watching Beijing Olympic Opening Ceremony. I just can't tell how proud I am to be a Chinese nowadays, ha!
4th day, we hop on a speedboat to world famous Phi Phi Island for snokerling and sightseeing. Phi Phi Island contains 2 islands - Phi Phi Ley & Phi Phi Don. It is sooooo beautiful in the Phi Phi and the water is crystal clear!!!! The beach is very sandy and fine! I'm sure it'd be more beautiful like heaven before the tsunami disaster in year 2004. Many corals are dead now and waiting to be alive again. We stopped by Coral (Khai) Island for swimming and fish feeding. It was a great trip to Phi Phi! We will definitely visit Phi Phi Island again for full day swimming during our next visit! When we got back to our hotel around 5.30 pm, we swam again in our hotel swimming pool, hehe! It was a relaxing evening in our hotel!
5th day, we did some catch-up with Neil & Svetlana again in the morning and seeing them off. We hope to meet each other again in Melbourne! After that, we hopped on a shuttle to Patong beach for a visit and shopping. I ended up buy nothing because the souveniors in Karon are much cheaper!!! Everything is commercialized in Patong and the crowd is packed. Something interesting for us was to try out the local street food - papaya salad, BBQ chicken wing, BBQ beef, BBQ fish, Thai coconut, etc. And, of course, we didn't miss out the foot massage in Patong too, ha! We caught a sunset view before heading back to Karon. And then, we did aromatherapy massage in Karon and that was GOOD and cheap with 350 bath (RM35) per person! We had a good sleep that night, ha! Zzzzz....
Last day morning, we shopped some souveniors in Karon and went for a delicious Thai food before heading for spa & massage. We had jacuzzi, foot massage, facial treatment, aromatherapy oil massage, body scrub for 3 hours!! I would love to do that again when we re-visit Phuket!! It was 1700 Bath (RM170) per person.
Overall, Phuket is a beautiful and good place to visit, either honeymooners or family trip. We will definitely visit Phuket again in near future! And, Similan Island (peak season only), Krabi & Racha Island are on our list for our next trip!!! :@) See you again, beautiful Phuket!
