10 things from Phuket

1. Wat Chalong

As all of us werent really religious, so we decided to just visit the recommended Wat Chalong from the tourist map.


2. Island Hopping

Yin, Peter, Wen, Ian and me took the Phi Phi Island tour package for 1300Baht/person from one of the tour agency shop when we walked around Phuket Town.

The Phi Phi Island tour would bring us to three little islands - Phi Phi Don, Phi Phi Ley and Khai Nok Island. There were 7 stops including Maya Bay, Viking Cave, Monkey Bay, Pileh Lagoon, etc.


3. Snorkeling

From the island hopping experience, we get to go snorkelling to swim with the fishes and look at beautiful corals. Too bad none of us own an underwater camera. We can only capture photos of fishes from above!


4. Rest and Relax

We sat at many beaches with food and drinks, just enjoying the moment! (most of the time in a shade, hiding away from the sun! *booooo*)

I love the crystal-clear water! Wish we had those in Penang.


5. Nom Nom Nom

Tried so many different Thai local food especially at the weekend night market. We went for the whole two days because it was impossible to finish trying all the food there! Haha

I love their coconut ice-cream!

The seafood at Par Lai Seafood Restaurant was great too. Especially the crab, that's what I heard. I didnt taste the crab and tomyam at all because yours truly was down with *drum rolling* FOOD POISONING at that moment. *booooooo*


6. Fried Insects

I ate the above two. Doesnt taste as bad as I thought it would be. In fact, it's not ewwwy gooey ueeeeeky.....just crispy. If you think of it as deep fried potato chips, you wouldnt really know it was insects. Of course it's always easily said than done. Speaking to myself too! After eating the fried worm, I still had a hard time putting the fried grasshopper in my mouth!

7. Thai Massage

I had my first massage experience when I was in Patong for 250Baht/hour. Some parts were really ticklish! I couldnt resist myself from laughing no matter how hard I tried. HAHAHAHA


8. Facial Massage

We spotted a shop in Jungceylon Mall having a promotion Facial Cleaning and Massage for 359Baht/person. Four of us had our turn in it. It feels good to have our faces cleaned after sweating so much in Phuket! Daddy and Ah Yee also went the next day.


9. Sunset

I managed to catch two sunsets when I was in Phuket - at Patong Beach and Panwa Beach. Lovely!
