"da" trip~~24-28/4

I felt like i have so much to say about the phuket trip, but with my mind totally blotched with a multitude of different images flashing intermittently, i really find it hard to pen down the journey coherently. So pardon my poor narration below. hah.

DAY 1 24/4

All of us met up at Mcd KL sentral. Took the bus to LCCT at 1145 am.

Filling the arrival/ departure forms at LCCT. Others went to get liquor.

First Dinner in Phuket. Waiters from the makan shops at rat-u-thant road were crossing the street towards us hailing for business..haha....very desperate..


Lepak at Patong beach after we 'cuci mata' at bangla road. Nightlife at Bangla Road is definitely interesting hehe.

DAY 2 25/4

Ken and I went for a morning walk. Bangla road is practically DEAD in the morning.

In front of the Bangla Boxing Stadium


Us at Patong beach.


went for breakfast buffet after that. yummie. everyone gathered at lobby at around eleven. the went out looking for bikes. 7 bikes for 14 of us.

pumping petrol. oh ya, always go to a petrol station in thailand. these mini " petrol stations" really do cut your throat nicely.


Started our ramdom journey. went down south.
First destination, Karon beach. The beach where we spent the longest hours. Fun hehe.


After having enough of the beach, we took a break and had lunch somewhere near. We then went down south again to Dino Park and played mini golf. SUPER FUN..hehe...

Went south again, wanting to catch the sunset at Kata beach.
But we left b4 sunset and continued to Promthep cape. Halfway the weather took a sudden change and dark clouds were gathering, so we backtracked back to patong. Was caught in the rain but reached safely to hotel. Had awesome tomyam for dinner that night at Phuket town.


Phuket's Mat Rempit's

DAY 3 26/4

Left hotel at 8 something for the chetty and headed for coral island.

Boat ride wasnt as exciting as the one i took to perhentian, so was the entire trip. snorkelling equipment was lousy and we were left on an island after lunch for three freaking hours. Everyone was practically sleeping.


At night we went for thai oil massage at one of the many massage shops infront of our hotel. not bad. some guys were a bit freaked out when they got guy masseurs haha...btw, we have stretches of gay bars and clubs there too, so can't really blame them. had dinner at rat-u-thant again but diff shop, which was freaking expensive. went and did abit of shopping after that. bought some t-shirts and managed to get some quite good bargain, with help from the typical chinaman, john.


DAY 4 27/4

Went out looking for bikes again but mishan,darell, john, jeyan and ying ming decided to get a car. headed up north. First stop, surin beach.

Our bike


Went to bang pae waterfall after that. Nothing interesting. the waterfall is 1 km into the forest. so kinda like jungle trekking abit. it was SO NS like. had lunch there. Btw, noodles in thai look like kuey teows.
We then headed to nai thon beach. The waves there are totally cool.. biggest that i've ever seen. there were only a few of us on the beach as this is one of the secluded beaches..

WE left b4 dark, not wanting to get lost cuz the road there was quite narrow and winding, kinda steep as well.
As it was the last night in phuket, we decided to have a nice dinner. Went to Savoey seafood. I didn't order much but apparently the food is quite good and fairly priced as well. Oh ya, do have baskin robbins there, it's cheaper there hehe.

Last dinner.


TOMYAM!!


Day 5 28/4

Everyone did last minute shopping. WE left hotel at one something. Flight was at four. Had lunch at the airport, burgerking. Super expensive there, but they have triple whooper there. Btw, Mcd here has pork burger, and it's the best seller..haha...

So long, Phuket.

Last pic of us at LCCT. The end of the trip we'd been looking forward for so long. SIGH.
The few things i got from Phuket
and of course, memories. Loads of them.
