✈ ✈ Phuket - Oct 2010 ✈ ✈

I guess it's time for me to blog about Phuket trips before I forget all of the details/what happened during the trip. Actually I couldn't remember the details (hotel name/rate, travelling date) but it's okay, I'm gonna retrieve my mail for the sack of blogging.

I love blogging about my trips actually. Whenever I have the time and feel like reading it, I'd definitely visit my blog and read about it. Besides that, it's very useful if I plan to travel to the same place in the future. :)

♥ Phuket Day 1 ♥

Depature date & time
Date: 6th October 2010

Time: 12.40pm, Arrived at Phuket 1pm

During this trip, we stayed at 3 different hotels, namely Limburi Hometel, Cape Sienna Hotel and Burasari Hotel. Both hotels in Patong area and another hotel at Kamala Area. Guess what, I regretted staying at Cape Sienna Hotel. I'll explain why I hate this hotel later in the post.

Initially we planned to take mini bus to Patong (RM15/person) but there's one taxi driver that kept on bugging us whether do we need taxi. The Boyfriend and I were so shy to reject the taxi driver. Ended up, we paid (approximately, I couldn't remember the exact amount) 650bath. If you take taxi from the airport, they will definitely bring you to the travel agent centre because they (taxi drivers) earn commission if you purchase any tour package from the travel agent centre.

The best way to avoid them is... tell the taxi driver that you've booked tour package from other travel agent, BUT WE DID NOT DO SO wtf. In the end, we booked a island hopping (speed boat) tour package from them and paid about 3000 bath (RM300+).

Limburi Hometel room rate: RM137/night

Arrived at Limburi Hometel. Checked in & the room is spacious but it doesn't look like a hotel room. Later on, we walked to Jungcelyon shopping mall (5 mins walk) to have lunch. The pork leg rice @ the food court tastes terrible. :S We should've stayed at Millennium Resort Phuket because it's connected to Jungcelyon shopping mall and it has HUGE pools!

♥ Phuket Day 2 ♥

Woke up pretty early and got ready for the Island Hopping tour! :) I was lazy to put on make up because we woke up at 6 in the morning. The tour was nice (but extremely tiring!) with a English speaking + funny tour guide. First stop was Maya Bay. It was b.e.a.u.t.i.f.u.l! 10 times better than Redang Island. Passed by Viking Cave, Pileh Cove and Loh Samah Bay for snorkelling.





Lunch at Phi Phi Don was terrible!

After lunch, we walked around Phi Phi Don. Nothing much to see, but there's a few resort on the Island.

Later on, the speed boat stopped at Monkey Beach. You could feed the monkey and snap pictures with the monkey. I choose to stayed on the boat as I'm not interested in monkey. *roll eyes*

Last stop is Khai Nok Island for relaxing and snorkelling. Everything on the beach is expensive! A Magnum Ice-Cream costs 200 bath (OMGeez, it's RM20!).

It was such a tiring tour and I did not enjoy it. But it's okay. At least I can tell people when they asked, 'I've been there, done that!'.

At night, we went for Thai Massage. 250bath/person/hour. Cheap and good!

♥ Phuket Day 3 to 6 ♥

Cape Sienna room rate: 5200bath Deluxe Jacuzzi room (not recommended!!!)

We took a cab to Cape Sienna, Kamala beach. After check-in, we decided to go to Kamala town. It was such a boring place, a few restaurant and few shops, that's it. Decided to have early dinner before we went back to the Hotel. Played at the Jacuzzi on the balcony. Both of us were freezing to death because it was so windy!

Next day, we had breakfast in the hotel. Unfortunately, we vomited all of the things out as both of us had food poisoning! :( Very unlucky! We decided to call for a doctor because things didn't get better in the evening. The hotel staff took so long and we had to call the hotel staff for a FEW TIMES and ask the doctor whereabouts. After waiting for approximately 2 hours, the doctor is here, LIKE FINALLY!

Guess how much does it costs! IT'S FREAKING 6000bath (Holy Jesus, it costs us RM600!!!!!!)

That's the reason why I regretted staying at Cape Sienna.

1) there's nothing much to eat at Kamala area, unless you take a cab to Patong town (which costs a bomb!)

2) the Jacuzzi sucks, it took ages to fill up the tub.

3) Cape Sienna loves ants!!! So, don't be surprise if you saw the ants EVERYWAY. I left the Milo drink on the table for a few hours and guess what? The ants eat whatever you eat. -_-;; Annoyed.

It's definitely a wrong decision to stay at Cape Sienna. I paid 5200bath per night and this is what I get. Such a waste of $$! I wouldn't mind if I were to pay RM100 and below for such service.

♥ Phuket Day 6 to 7 ♥

Last day! Checked in to Burasari Hotel. We booked the cheapest room, standard room.

Burasari Hotel room rate: RM250

The room was not bad, we should've book the pool access room. :) Went for a swim and it started raining. It was raining heavily on the last day.

Day 7: Check out at 6 in the early morning because we took the early flight back.
