Phuket, Thailand

 Patong beach, Phuket - Thailand

Just went back from Phuket, Thailand...
Phuket awesome beach... i love the view...
But their expense damn high compare with Bangkok, Hatyai etc....

This is Free & easy trip for us...
Actually we plan 6 to go... but the end only 4 of us..
we plan this trip on February 2013 8month before we flight...
we took air-asia promotion tickets...

Total Cost for Flight and Hotels:-
1] Air-Asia promotion ticket = $249.00 (Included Tax & fuel)
2] C&N hotel (3nights)         = $ 72,61 (per night)
    (11,088.00 Baht / 2 Room/ 3 Night)

Total paid for each person $249.00 + $217.83 = $ 466.83 (Included hotel & air-ticket)
for 4 Days 3 night Phuket trip....

Jackson, Me, Janice & Alex.... (4 of us)

Now the exchange rate SGD $1 = 24.80 baht

So i plan to change SGD $500 = 12,400 baht for this trip cause most of my friends telling me eat and shop at phuket damn expensive compare with bangkok.. 

so i rather change more instead =)

We go on Thursday 20-11-2013 and return back Singapore on Sunday 24-11-2013

Lets share with you guy my pretty photo... hahahahaaha... i'm sick on that day

My holidays start ~~~ Bye Singapore... 

 Act cute before boarding... 

Natural look took by my beloved Alex Foo.. thanks alot... love it although i'm look fat =(

We reach Phuket international airport at 3.00pm thailand time.... 

please note that the Thailand timing late 1hrs with Singapore and Malaysia Time..

Mr Foo choose C&N Phuket hotel is a most nearest hotel to patong beach, bangla road with walking distend (5-10min).. and 30min to town...

it's just 45min away from airport, they provided transport from Airport to Hotel but need 3 days in advance book for the transport.

You may consider C&N Hotel Patong beach http://cnhotelpatong.com/

Hotel very clean and have a private balcony as the room we pick.. 

the room is big enough good enough space to add bed if you 3 to go... 

 Sofa corner... 

Really a big bathtub with hot water..

Please note that: hotel is having safe the world save water.. if you need clean up room remember inform cleaner and remove your Do Not Disturb sign =)

After check to C&N Hotel we get out from hotel and start explore around patong area...

it's really a convenience hotel to me.. massage can found it beside of hotel, 7-11 just few steps from hotel, few seafood restaurants is just beside C&N hotel.. oh dear such convenience for me..

coconut juice, sweet corn soup and chicken salad is my lunch for day 1

Seafood fried rice and water melon juice Alex lunch

Green curry fried rice and Mango juice Janice favorite

Mee soup and Singa is Jackson lunch

additional dish - roadside fried fish ball on top of right side

 after our lunch we just walk around the town of patong beach...

no much people at noon time...

weather not bad although is monsoon season

can see nothing on Thursday at patong road..

You can buy bikini, shirt, pant along the road.. alot of shop to shop.. but remember have some discount but dont expect too much offer =) you can find those travel package along the road.. here are small stall selling package and remember to nego price but once against here are phukut the price is under control you may ask 3-4 stall before you decide...

we planing to go sea and diving tomorrow, so we try to ask price and compare for 3 stall the price, the price around 1,200 baht to 1,500 baht depend on which package you pick. we finally meet a stall after nego with her finally she offer us 1,150 baht and we join their package for 4 view point and 3 beach with speedboat and one lunch.. tips: speedboat expensive but is much better compare with ferry..

Day 2 at Phuket

Phi Phi island by speedboat

One of the ‘must-do’ tours for anyone visiting Phuket, the Phi Phi Islands are located 48 kilometers southeast of Phuket in Krabi Province. The island group is comprised of two larger islands, Koh Phi Phi Don and Koh Phi Phi Ley, and a few much smaller islands including Koh Bida Nok, Koh Bida Noi, and Ko Mai Phai (Bamboo Island).

This full-day speedboat tour takes you around the stunning waters of one of the world’s most beautiful islands. Swim or snorkel in the clear waters at Loh Samah Bay and Piley Cove, see the Crab-eating macaques at Monkey Beach, visit the famous ‘Viking Cave’ and no trip to Phi Phi would be complete without a visit to the stunning Maya Bay, which featured in the Hollywood film “The Beach”.

You may visit this phuket website for more info but you can get better price when you reach patong beach.... this link just for your reference ONLY http://www.phuket.net/tours/island-tours/phi-phi-island-tour-by-speed-boat/
