Chapter 1 What We Did in Phuket

To realized that Phuket is actually not romantic at all, for budget traveller like us. Fine, maybe I am the only one thought that Phuket is a romantic gateway boo. And fine, maybe budget does not come with romantic. So a friendly reminder to whoever that are going for a romantic vacation, kindly drop the word budget for that few days and just purchase the most expansive honeymoon package and enjoy!

I don't want to say Phuket is beautiful, because I think Bali is much more exotic. But anyhow, I did had fun lar during this trip, thanks to all my travel+hometown kakis. Without you all, the trip could be a dull one. Hugs.

I am not going to blog this trip as the way I blog in Bali trip, simply because I am lazy to review everything. So, just some highlights or more like photo blogging k :)So, here you go on what we did in phuket


Photobucket

1. To found out most of the streets in Patong Beach looked like Petaling Street selling the same less than B-class imitation of branded purses, bags, sandals, t-shirts and even underwears. Nothing too interesting except for some funky printed t-shirt for souvenir.

2. To tried coconut milkshake which tasted only so-so because the one selling at my hometown pasar malam is 5 times better, and also 3 times cheaper with extra ice cream sumore

Photobucket

3. Shop like crazy in their Family Mart(some sort of 7-11 lar). Nothing is cheap in Phuket except those stuffs in their Family Mart. 1265 Baht well spent, on junk foods, sparkling juices and beer. All in less than 5 minutes. Tell me how frequent you get to grab packs of every flavour of Lay's chips at RM3 per pack and where you can get sparkling juice that contained 6.5% alcohol that has a pricetag of RM3. OMGWTFBBQ I so wanna shop in Family Mart again. I want Lay's, Seaweed, Hotdogs, Instant Cup Noodle, SPY, candies, golla, Chocolates and keep saying "CHEAP CHEAP CHEAP, BUY BUY BUY"

Miss Chong, your eyes were closed again


Photobucket
Oi,what are you all doing here?!

Photobucket

4. To only realized that we forgot to drop by at Hard Rock Phuket for a photo on the transfer back to HKT airport. Bodo -.-"

Photobucket

5. To bargain, bargain bargain at so many tour agencies, but still never get the lowest price fml. Now, I tell you bargaining for the same stuff over and over again and again is tiring! I kid you not!

Photobucket

6. To wait for other boatmate(s) who woke up late duh! Don't got conned by the shinny bright sun, it was raining outside actually hence, a teribbly bumpy boat all the way to island tour. So bumpy that water kept splashing to your face that make you ENTIRELY wet before you reach the destination. Chi Kek not? Oh, also to watch in pleasure people puking over seasick because you know you won't puke because you had cleverly popped a pill before the ride. Hahaha.


Photobucket

7. To pay Rm170 for Fantasea Show and get to dine in this 5 stars looking hall, with 2 stars choices of food along with canteen seat arrangement.


Photobucket

8. To stop at this shop, just to snap a photo and show it off to Malaysia friend!


Photobucket

9. To get foot massaged at a crappy place, where this two lucky guys got Special Service. Haha, special service as in being massaged on the bed instead of the normal sofa lar. Get out of your dirty mind k :p

Photobucket

10. To supper outdoor styled at this pizza chain while watching Tiger/Gigolo walking around Bangla Street. Observing and giggling lol.

Photobucket

11. To play spot the monkey at Monkey Beach and getting "Today is Monkey Off day" wtf

Photobucket

12. To show off some fat cleavage to attract good looking men Hahah!

Photobucket

13. To only spend 1 hour including a lunch break at this beautiful Phi Phi Island on this so-called Phi Phi Island One day Trip. Sigh. I should call this Pee Pee Island because this is the place I peed, after holding it for few hours omg. Now, do you know that it was impossible for you to pee in the sea, because that the pressure of your bladder is lower than the pressure of the seawater? Tried and tested!

Photobucket

14. Being kiamsiap to only rent an umbrella for 9 person at Khai Island. And again to hold pee pee because a toilet entrance is 30Baht. Rm3 for a pee ler, siao meh!


Photobucket

15. To wear a busuk helmet for the sake of safety. To think back, I need to thank this helmet, because without them I am already in coma. Without them, yours truly might be laying on the hospital bed for a month due to brain injuries. Yalar, I fall off of the raft and got knocked on some rocks and I was saved and pulled onto another raft. So mempersiasoikan! But but but white river rafting was very very exciting and thrilling to the maximum! Lets do again wey...


Photobucket
16. To buy instant mee at Carrefour at RM3 for 5 packs. Sedap sedap!Why Malaysia not selling this ler?!

So, I guess that summarize the so so Phuket Trip. Total damages:-

Flight Ticket and Hotel, RM434
Phi Phi Island Tour, RM125
Fantasea Show, RM170
White Water Rafting, RM90
Massages, RM20 + RM60
