Phuket, Siam!

Six days! That was how long we were at Phuket. Personally I feel six days is a bit too much for Phuket.. Nonetheless it was a nice trip and I will allow pictures to tell the story.
My first breakfast in Phuket! Complimentary breakfast from the Club Coconut Resort (where we stayed)

 Our room 


The other side of our basic room. It costed us roughly S$40+ per night. Not cheap compared to some places but the cheapest we could find from AirAsia's website.

The view from our room. We got pool view but as the pool is green, it is completely not usable. The owner had some problems fixing it while we were there. Nonetheless, the view provided us some entertainment one evening with 2 fellow stayers as the main focus of the pool romance. Hohoho!

We wondered whats the best way to get around. Solution: on a rented motorbike. Soenke's first time driving a motorbike. Pat pat. A bike costs 200Baht a day to rent and a short tuk tuk ride from our hotel to Patong Beach is 100Baht one way and (20-30 mins walk away by foot). Go figure. We "put put" our way to the few famous beaches around Phuket and the rest of the sights.


Me and my new shades. It's on top of my head.

Lunch at the Deutsche Kneipe. Schnitzel schnitzel ...


Another type of schnitzel (hehehe)


Gradient blue waters of Phuket.  I took this photo at the footsteps of a beach bar cum restaurant. People were relaxing the afternoon away with bottles of beer and seafood.

I like how they mix concrete with sea shells. The round white thing in the middle by the way is a golf ball.

A stroll along the beach

How can a trip to Thailand be complete without eating the local cuisine!? Stir fried minced meat with basil leaves and iced Thai milk tea "Cha Yen"


Shrimp paste fried rice set. It is obvious from the plates and the cup that we had our meal at Tesco Lotus. Yea, that is where you can find a foodcourt selling yummy food at good prices.

 
 Thai stir-fry with rice and fried egg. We got this from Food Haven, another foodcourt, that features food from all parts of Thailand. 

Pad Thai (Thai style fried noodles) - Must fulfill Thai food quota!!

Dessert - Mango Sticky Rice (Of course!!)

Patong Beach. It is a long beach completely filled with people. When I first step on to the beach, I had a flashback of a picture of a packed Hawaiian beach. Same same, but different.

Jungceylon, a shopping mall in Patong. This ship is part of the attraction there together with musical fountains.

James Bond Island.
