Phuket..... Sun~Sand~Sea~ *

Hey hey hey.... for those who are waiting for this post (hehe), here it is. Sharing with you my recent trip at Phuket! It was a good holiday for me as I had so much fun, mostly eating and drinking Beer/Coke... Superduper HOT weather there and it's no wonder I come back as "CHAO DAR" mui.


Also to share with you an experience at Patong Beach. If ever your jetski got overturned, and the engine cannot work cos "The water gets into it", be sure to negotiate the price they asked you to pay. My Jetski capsized and the beach guys asked for 7000 Baht (~ S$300 or so) for their repair! Of cos, there is no grounds to believe them! Nearly went to the police station for this as we insisted we didn't have that kind of money to pay them! It was only on our way to the police post, the price was negotiated and cut to 2000B (~S$100)... well, at least we did not have to waste more time with the Patong Police. Other than that, I think the people were still generally nice... nice beach, nice coke, nice view.







In this trip I got to walk around Patong area, went island hopping (maya beach, phi phi and Khai Nok beach) then also to Phuket Town where there is a night market (close to Chatuchak in Bangkok as they only open during weekend evenings.) Of cos, there was SHOPPING and BARGAINING! heheh! Oh yes, there's a new mega mall called Jungceylone at Patong... similar to our Suntec? Hmmm.... nice to walk in (cos of the air con), as for shopping, really have to look for items on discount.


If you like the SUN, SAND and the SEA, I think Phuket is one good choice.
