Post - Phuket 2011

I concluded that we have our best of Phuket trip last Nov. Hopefully can return to Phuket for other activites that I had missed such as Simon's Cabaret, Fantase and sport activities.

Below is our itinery as a reference.
Day 1:
1. Reach Phuket Airport. 1 hour flight from LCCT.
2. 1 hour car ride to Patong beach. The most happening beach in Phuket. Cost 650 baht per car.
3. Explore around Patong looking for best deals to Phi Phi Island. Cost 1100 baht per person. Cost would increase depending on season.
4. Explore Jungceylon - largest shopping area in Patong beach
5. Having pancake and phad thai


Day 2:
1. Depart to Phi Phi Island. Driver will fetch from hotel and drop at jetty. Trip around 1 hour to 1 hour plus. A big boat will drop one-way passengers or did not take package at Phi Phi Island before proceed to next activities. Trip near 1.5 - 2 hours. Depart from Phi Phi Island to island nearby for snorkeling activities. Lunch will be served on Phi Phi Island.
2. Explore around Phi Phi Island. Decided to overnight at the Island. Plenty of shops and restaurants.

Day 3:
1. Kayaking the next morning to Monkey Island.
2. Departing from Phi Phi Island back to Phuket. Having 3 different times to choose from, 9am, 11am and 2.30pm.
3. We took 2.30pm boat ride and took around 2 hours. 1 hours back to Patong beach. Unable to play sport activities as it is too late :(
4. Rent a return taxi trip to weekend market (MUST GO). Having dinner at the market. The items sold there are a lot cheaper than those sell at Patong beach.

Day 4:
1. Rent motorcycle at 250 baht per day and explore around Phuket Town from North to South.
2. Visited Phuket Town, enjoyed famous noodles known by localties, argh forget the name, having seafood dinner at Rawai Beach, south of Phuket. The food is superb.
3. Stop by random cafe shop for drink to quench thirst. They do not speak English at all ><. Visited temples and Big Buddha. On the way back Patong beach, bypass all the beaches next to Patong beach. Unable to see anything as it was dark.
4. Ending our trip mostly satisfied as we explored whole Phuket. Started our trip at 11am and reached hotel at 7pm.

Day 5:
1. A day trip to visit caves and island
2. Visited James Bond island, bat caves, laguna...etc dunno what name also
3. Lunch is provided on the boat.
4. Visited Jungceylon for last shopping trip at night. Having seafood dinner at Patong beach. Can't remember, cost around 2k thai baht for 4 person.

Day 6:
1. Back to Malaysia early morning.

Phuket food taste so good and near to our cooking Malaysian cooking style compare to Bali's food. Miss their food too. XD


Till next trip from me then :)
