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

愛久見人心


朋友第一次介绍这首歌的时候
就觉得这首歌没怎样

慢慢地听
听久了
听习惯了
结果
听上瘾了。。

歌里面最爱的两句歌词

“用盡了全力 只為在一起
我愛不愛你 愛久見人心”

In Amphawa Floating Market 
You can also get a chance to buy food for monks in the early morning
We have the food provided by the resorts and need to side of river around 6am
Monks will come by to collect the food and of course they will pray and bless for you

 They come by boat

 There are guidelines that you might need to follow around while giving away the food
Sequence of what to give first or later and the portion as well

Leaving to Maeklong Railway Market
It's around 30 minutes journey from Amphawa Floating Market

 Maeklong Railway Station

 Maeklong Railway Market


 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..
