Hi u guys

It?s been 2 weeks that I came back from Phuket without post the photos and write the story about it.

I took a lot of photos.. almost 300 photos in my computer right now.. so I think it?s time to let u guys see?not sure there?s enough space for me right here, lol

So, I made up my mind to split my journal into 2 parts.

Let?s enjoy my photos and my story

Actually, I think about going to Phuket long time ago after Tsunami? cuz of that situation many travel agencies tried to cut down the price for survival. I asked my classmates and my colleagues to go there but seemed no one interested. Finally, I have got one, she was the one of my colleagues and she asked her friends to go there with her but no one go.. same as myself.. Then we decided to buy a package tour and go together.

We found a travel agency with a very good offer and reasonable price. 3 days 2 nights 2,900 baht included hotel room, breakfast (2 days) (buffet) + welcome drink, a van and a driver for all 3 days, speed boat for all day long and lunch in koh Phi Phi Don (buffet). Sounds good, eh?

The one problem was ?how to get there?? seemed like we have 2 choices. Bus or plane. We went out to check the bus at the southern bus terminal? and we agreed that place didn?t work? we had to spend 11 hrs. ++ in the bus and the cost was at 970 baht (one way). So we changed our mind to go there by plane. So lucky my trip mate has a friend who work for Air Asia so we got the tickets at 3000 each (round trip).

About the flight

I have to admit this was my first time that I got in the plane. I?m not shy to say cuz everyone has the first time right? Hehe.

The bad point of flying with the low cost airline is they always delayed? I went there at 9.30 am. Cuz it said it would leave BKK at 10.50 am. but it delayed about 1 hr or more. So we called our driver that we might get to the airport late, Sh** it wasted my time.

Anyway, these are the photos I shooted while I was flying.

City Tour

After landing (1 hr late) our driver, p?Chete shown us around the city (haven?t check in yet) He drove to Kao Rung, it?s the park. We could see whole city from there, so beautiful.

Then he took us to see the temples for luck?.I didn?t took much pics from those places

1 ? 4 @ Wat Chalong

1. pagoda

2. Buddha?s relics

3. Buddha images

4. House or Was and a Famous monk (wax work) so sorry I can?t remember the name

5 @ wat prapud

The Local Food

After taking the temple tour? p?Chete took us to had lunch at a local restaurant? it was not a luxury ones but he said if we go to phuket we must taste ?Mie Spum? if not we are not reach Phuket. For me I think it was worth to try.

The owner of the restaurant asked us with the southern Thailand accent.. (ⶠáËÅè§ãµé àµÃÕÂõÑÇäÃè·Ñ¹ÃèÃ) made us confuse for a while. Moreover, the menu looked so strange. I had to ask about every plates in the menu. That time I really had no idea what to order. Ok Mie Spum was the first choice and we looked the other table and order if the yummy ones. Here were the 3 dishes we order

Where was the sunset..

Unfortunately, in the rainy season like this?it was hardly to see the sunset. Believe it or not! I always dream about seeing the sunset at Laem Promtep (Phuket) and sunrise at Phataem (Ubon) with the weather like that what can I do

I saw only dark cloud sky and fog see the pics.. but on the other hand I could get the weird photos hehe different atmosphere from the postcard photos, u think so? (good excuse, eh?)

After Laem Phromtep, p?Chete took us to another view point.. don?t know what I call and I couldn?t took much photos as I aspect cuz rain was falling down all the time.. I worried about my camera too!! So only these I have got.

Then p?Chete drove across 3 mountains to our hotel? the hotel wasn?t bad at all. We stay near the swimming pool but I didn?t think I should swim at night.. may be the next day?. But I really crave for dining? I called a Tfer, Steggi (hope u don?t mind to post ur nick right here) asked if he knew any good place for us? (I didn?t wanna go to the places which full of BG) He said I should go to Bangla!! I checked out there but not interest us at all. We decided to walk around to find good place for dining with live music. I found Saxophone? that was ok atleast I know the one in BKK. It wasn?t bad but ppl not as much as the brance in BKK. Then we walked back to our hotel around midnight. Got a deep sleep prepare for the next day.. Yahooooo!!!

See Part II tomorrow J
