Phuket
Finally made it to Phuket after 5 months staying here in Thailand.
Departed around 8.20pm from Southern Bus Terminal Bangkok
12 hours journey to reach Phuket Bus Terminal 2
It was a tiring journey since the seats were not really comfortable
Since we were in a budgeted trip and tried to save up as much as we could
We actually bought a package tour from a travelling agency
It costed 3300 Baht for each of us
Inclusive of
2 Night Accomodation
Tour around Phi Phi Island in a Ferry Cruise
Tour around Phang Nga Bay in a Sea Canoe
5 hours tour around Phuket Town
Picking us up to and from the Phuket Bus Terminal 2
Breakfast and lunch for 2 days
We started the whole trip with the 5 hours tour around Phuket Town
We were brought to a top hill to have a look at the Phuket Town
Nothing much interesting here
Just an ordinary town
View of Phuket Town
Acting like kids..LOL
We were brought to Wat Chalong
Temple in Phuket
We spent only 30 minutes here
Just a normal temple like all other temples here in Thailand
This was in Phromthep Cape
Where you can take picture all around
If you have good camera that can get rid of those backlight..=.=
Which I don't have..
This one was taken in Karon Viewpoint
We stayed in a hotel called Mussee Kata Boutique
It was 2000 Baht for each room
Good and comfortable rooms for us
They even provided a swimming pool and jacuzzi together at the top floor of the hotel
So you can just enjoy your time there if you feel like not going to anywhere
We spent at the same place with alcoholic drinks and snacks at night too..
1st time experience to do so..
It would be great if the water can get warmer
We went for the ferry cruise around Phi Phi Island the next morning
Had breakfast at 6.30am and left hotel around 7am
Kinda disappointed with the tour because we don't really have chance to get down to the island or beaches to take photos
It would be totally different if we chose to take speedboat which is more expensive
We were given 1 hour for snorkeling before heading to Phi Phi Island
Snorkeling is pretty boring too since there is nothing to see
Dead corals and little fish to swim around there..@@
Viking Cave
Phi Phi Island Pier
We went for the Phang Nga Bay Tour the next morning
Took a 1.5 hours boat trip to reach James Bond Island
My Cover Photo in Facebook now..:D
James Bond Island..:D
Random Picture at James Bond Island
We went to Hong Island whereby you get into a sea-canoe and go around those beautiful lagoons
You get to see the sunshine strikes into those lagoons and it looks like somehow paradise too
This tour is pretty much more interesting as compared to the ferry cruise
Don't really have to worry if you never canoe before
There will be a guy that helps you to travel around the lagoons in the sea canoe
They help you to take photos around too
Just give them some tips at the end of the trip
They definitely deserved those tips too..:D
Tried to paddle on my own
Thanks to OBS..haha
I have no problem with this..:D
Went up to Mangrove tree there too..:D
Departed from Phuket at 8pm
Reached Bangkok in the next morning at 8am
P/S: Spent a total of 6466 Baht for all the trip expenses inclusive of souvenirs and shirts bought..:D

Dog carries stuff for his master..LOL
Keeping everything inwards once receiving signal that train is coming..
in seconds...
Train is on the way
The stalls next to it are just inches away from the train
=.=
Setting up everything back again as normal once the train had passed through
In seconds too..
P/S: Resting for a while for the sake of the content in the wallet
Emotion gets ups and downs
Around this months
Getting worse when it comes to words and actions by others
How to put it down and let everything go
Just doing hard to ask the heart to do so..

Pattaya 2.0
Vy and Hang came to Thailand for a short trip for their sem break
So we visited Pattaya again with them and visited some of the places that we did not go before
We went to Mini Siam
It is actually like a place with all those famous architectures or buildings in the world in a mini size
300 Baht per person
For Adult Foreigner
I am not sure how much will it be if you are Thai
It might get cheaper though
Favourite Photo of the day
Different than others done before
We went to the Pattaya Beach and climbed all the way up to get some photos of these:.....!!
Here we are in Pattaya...!!
We went to Pattaya Floating Market after that
You need to pay entrance fee for this commercialized floating market
200 Baht per person
=.=
From my own opinion,
The people there are quite rude
Especially when you are asking for any discount
Their voice are like so fierce and feel like wanna eat you..=.=
Especially when you are buying clothes..
However, we managed to get in there for FREE..
haha..:D
My comment about Pattaya Floating Market
It is too commercialized..=.=
My comment about Pattaya Floating Market
It is too commercialized..=.=
The Entrance of Pattaya Floating Market
The Crocodile Meat
20 Baht each
Pork Ribs
Trying food together in the floating market
Leaving the floating market for Alcazar Show
We went for Alcazar Show at night
Entrance Ticket is 500 Baht per person
It is nothing but the same as Tiffany Shows
I had watched both of them now
I do think that Tiffany Show is more interesting with more changes on the stage with it's own decoration
The girls are definitely beautiful and there is one girl in Alcazar that is really really beautiful
In term of performance levels, both performed almost the same things with some specialty on each side
For me, I think Tiffany's Show is better than Alcazar Show
Opening of Alcazar Show
A very special performance in Alcazar Show
As those statue are actually really ladyboys naked and showing boobs
Only in Alcazar..
What's good in Alcazar is you can take picture while you can't do it in Tiffany's.
Ending of the show
P/S: Enjoyed as much as I can while I could
