Day 1 - rainy day in Phuket

yes I'm gonna start writing about my Phuket tour now~
hmm...

everyone is at the airport and waiting for boarding!!
it's been a long time didn't travel with such many friends~
look like a tour, hehehehe


poor Guo Wei, there was something like coffee keep dropping down during take off :O


arriving in Phuket airport! waiting for the van to the hotel...
it's not the airport transfer service, the van is based on airport...
120baht per pax if not mistaken
we've got 10 pax, so the whole van costed 1200baht~

quite far from airport to Patong, about 45mins of journey
however, the driver took us to a travel agency for tours.. but we didn't request for that.
we actually looking some tours at airport... just to know about the price
luckily we didn't buy... aikss. 



our hotel, Bamboo Beach Resort
a bit distance to town, but shuttle buses to Patong town were provided
nice environment, but the facilities need to improve some more...



part of Patong town
it is a small town, with only 2 main street.. 
the picture above was something like pub street, like the one in Siem Reap but in bigger scale
and of coz, the appearance of Ah Gua, lalala~


starving, have no idea what to eat, and the shuttle bus stopped at the Jungceylon Mall so..
we just go for it.
seldom street food can be found here, mostly the pancake and fried chicken like that... only....
i expected for mango or durian rice but..... sad case T.T


many restaurants are available at Jungceylon Mall and we've chosen Fuji Japanese Restaurant
suppose to have something Thai but we're just too hungry and the price worth it, haha


had some ice cream as dessert, the Dairy Queen
 served upside down or it's free!!
not bad, 390baht for this


then we went to the superstore name... Big C? 
it's inside the Jungceylon as well.. occupied by tourists, haha
so many Chinese here.. I mean those from China -_______-
the things are quite cheap, thus.... we have bought quite numbers of things here, haha
you can buy anything here, and i think this is the place that sell the cheapest mineral water~



and then we walked and walked to the pick-up-point of the shuttle bus
however, we missed it, zzzz
so we took tuk tuk back, 20baht per pax

oh ya, we were looking for tours of FantaSea and Islands tours also while walking
you can see some booth or agencies selling the package
I think the cheapest Phi Phi islands tour we got was 1300baht per pax
most of them selling the same package but just the difference of price~

if you bought the package at night then your tour will be on the day after tomorrow
because they have already closed the quote for the next day~

make sure you check the weather whether it is suitable to the islands or not...
unfortunately, all 4 days of our time in Phuket were raining and blowing strong wind so...
we didn't managed to get to the islands or anything T.T


ahh, why u no rotate ==
the beach was on the opposite of the pick up point...



strong wind, I've never went to a beach that have such strong wind and waves! 
the waves were damn scary!! like tsunami coming.... aiksss



few steps away from the pick up point
Patong is too near to the beach, of coz they couldn't survive during the happening of tsunami on 2004...



it's 11 something of local time, looked quiet
well, the town was still very lively and energized....... at the pub street there
I don't know the name of the street, so I just named it pub street, haha
but we actually called it Ah Gua road everytime we walked by, hehehe
