PHUKET (Day 4) - Last Day too!

Time flies extremely FAST when you are on a holiday :( Even though the past 3 days have been MEH...it was still very upsetting to end our holidays that fast. BOOOO :<

My sleepy head who always ask me to shower first, just so he can slp longer >:(

Last breakfast from the hotel.



Baby says I only know how to take good shots if the item is an egg -.-
Blahhhh, I know you are jealous how my egg peektures always look OH-SO-PERFECT :P



Fruits which has some weird garlic taste, cos prolly they used the same knife to prepare food & cut fruits??? Grrrrrr..the utter WRONG thing for a kitchen staff to do!!!! >:/

#emobaby
Spending his last few moments with Mr. Hermit before releasing them.
He can just stare at them & see what they are doing NON-STOP D:



See how slowly he released them on the beach.
I think he is secretly crying inside his heart. 
HAHAHAH!! Oooops :X



Baby's dramatic departure with Mr. Hermit.
I guess if we are not taking plane back to SG (afraid Mr Hermit might not survive due to air pressure otw back), he would keep the crabs by his side.
In fact, all along, he has been wanting to have hermit crabs as pet cos he find them too cute!! :O

Headed to a nearby, promising looking massage place opp Patong Beach.
Little did I know this is the place...

WHERE I F'CKING LOST MY FAV GOLD HAVIS SLIPPERS :'(
WHO THE HELL STOLE IT, WORE IT AWAY, WHATEVER
...
.
.
U BETTER HAVE SWOLLEN FEET & LOST ALL UR FUTURE FOOTWEAR!!!!!!!
TMD!!!! 
*ROAR*
@#$%^&*@#$%^&*@#$^

Okay, back to the massage place >:(




Requested for their Oil Massage.
Was deciding if we should have Aloe Vera massage after our badly sunburt body from our Kata trip, but luckily I managed to read Jessica's blog the night before that Aloe Vera massage was rather MEH. So yay, a cheaper alternative is a better choice :)



As you can see we are their first 2 customers, so we actually "help" them "start off" their business, so they won't be yawning, lazing around away.

SO WHY STOLE MY SLIPPERS OR MAKE MY SLIPPERS LOST!!!!!

ARRRRGGGGHHHH~~! 
My first encounter that I lost sth overseas. Bloody hell! 



This is the 2nd level of the massage place. 
Becos Baby was perspiring NON-STOP (just by walking from Patong Beach to the massage place -.- OK! maybe the weather is unbearable), he needed a very powerful air-con.

The staffs brought us to the 2nd level, thinking the air-con can blow at us more directly. Still, Baby is sweating like he just ran 42km non-stop .__.
He wanted to forgo the massage initially, while I go ahead. But I insisted he enjoy the massage with me. Luckily, the masseuse was kind enough to ask Baby to have a quick shower to cool himself down.

Therefore, our massage officially started 1/2hr later :/
Massage was not bad though, 2 hours for 600 baht.

When you head to Thailand, you definitely cannot miss out going for massage!!
So much cheaper!!

Last few shots of the other end of Patong Beach, which is much nicer as compared to those taken in Day 1.




How can we not have our my FAV No. 6 for the last time?? :P


The garlic fish is DA-BOOOOMZ!!!
IT IS DAMN GOOD, I SWEAR!!

Suddenly it started pouring heavily. 
Din realise that May period is also Phuket's monsoon season (as mentioned by our Island Hopping tour guide aka Kobi). In fact, we encountered rain almost everyday, except Day 1.

Being the "kiasu" me, I asked Baby to buy ponchos when we saw pple selling them outside No. 6! Rather be safe than get caught in the rain. Moreover, we need to head to Airport in time. Cannot risk!!

Teeheeeee :P

Enjoying some coffee at the coffee house beside our hotel.



Our complimentary taxi service arranged by BYD cos we weren't very pleased at how they handled the situation when we encounter black-out in Day 1. Yes, we complained. But, who cares?? We saved our moolah on the transfer to airport :D

Goodbye Phuket..FOREVER!!
Doubt I will be back again cos it really isn't that fantastic as how many describe it to be.

A short gateway, which we initially was thinking if 4D3N will be a lil' too rush. But, it isn't at all.
Even though it was a rather disappointing holiday (I guess I just need some shopping!!), Baby & I get to take some time off work & relax ourselves.

THANK YOU Baby for being my forever travel partner.
Thank you for trying your very best to keep me floated during snorkeling (I KNOW YOU ARE GIGGLING NOW ON HOW I STRUGGLE. Pfffft!).
Thank you for eating crepes with me everyday & become fat with me :(
Thank you for having No. 6 with me from Day 2-4, knowing it is my fav :D

Our 3rd holiday & moreeee to come <3
Korea next up YAY?!?

PHUKET (Day 3)


I know this is very random, but I told Baby we need to take the picture of the Patong Beach flooring (to "prove" we did come to Patong Beach). So, here are our feet with the tile :p

X

Day 3's itinerary is to explore other beaches beside the overcrowded Patong Beach. Was deciding between 2 out of the 3 most popular beaches (Karon, Kata & Kamala) & after much research & a feedback from a taxi driver, it shall be Kata & Kamala Beach.

Decided to skip our hotel's breakfast & check out other places. Walk & walk, in the end we end up with No. 6 Restaurant for breakfast again. This is our second visit after Day 2's dinner.

<3 their watermelon ice blend which can quench our thirst well.



After breakfast, we headed back to hotel to change before cabbing down to Kata Beach for our first stop. Thankful for the Sun, we were able to get some tan (despite a short 1/2 hr drizzle). In fact, we got burnt .__.

#OFTD for Day 3










Paid 150 baht for 2 suntanning beds.The lime green beach towel is from our hotel.
We were applying our suntan oil.

*I really HATE those excess saddlebag fats at my butt area. Pls lemme know what can I do to remove them!! -cries- #IHATEMYSAGGINGBUTT :'(( * 

Anyway, if you are wondering, this is the tanning oil we used to achieve that healthy tan. 








hiding under the umbrella from the rain.

rain rain go away, it is now tanning time.

Life should be #likeaboss




Baby was tempted to try this, but the short <5mins up into the sky cost a whopping 1,500 baht :SSS So, nope..money shld be spend on other stuffs. LOL!





Our jumping get more & more pro.
HAHAHAHA!! 
To a higher jump next round :)





Our foot marks left at Kata Beach on 23.05.13
<3

Tutu-ing to Kamala Beach.
I'm an anti-tutu when in BKK cos why pay almost the same, when you can enjoy safer & conditioned ride in their taxi? But this tutu is different. Though it is not air-conditioned, it is so spacious & "solid"; most importantly it looks SAFE!

I don't deny this ride makes me change my perception towards tutu-ing..
hehehehe :)

Kamala Beach
Erms, I admit this (& the next 2 pics) is an edited pic :X
It is NOT sunny & bright when we visit at all, in fact very gloomy. 
The beach definitely wasn't what we expect to be, scenic & calm.
#anotheroverrated

The only beach we did not even went down to the sea, did not even take pictures of ourselves with the beach. I swear the monsoon weather made everything look bad there.

SUN IS VERY IMPORTANT FOR BEACH HOLIDAYS!!!!



Okay, not a bad visit cos Baby made a new friend here. 
Mr. Hermit.
Baby is like "obsessed" with this hermit crab, which you will see below...

Bad lunch at some eatery on the beach.
So everything seems bad abt Kamala Beach??? 
Now I'm wondering again did we got ourselves to the right beach which Peggy (aka sixpegs) went to? It is through her blog, I've decided to visit this beach.
But......OH MY! :O

-End of our visit to Kamala Beach-

Back at our hotel to wash up & off to our dinner. Spot Muay Thai mini vans along the road, where they "showcase" their boxer on the vans & giving out leaflets asking people to attend Muay Thai matches.


Dinner at Mr. Good's Seafood, opposite of No. 6 Restaurant.
Again, it was the crowd that drew us there when we were queuing at No. 6.

We had early dinner, but the place is fully packed with tourists by dinner time.



Choosing our seafood



Verdict: OVERRATED!!! Once again... D:
Food wasn't that fantastic as compared to No. 6 & worst, the portion were small (every dish is only enough for a pax) & waiting time is LONG. We waited for that plate of wrongly prepared prawns (we asked for butter garlic prawns, they gave us some bbq butter prawns!! ) for almost 30 mins, after we finished the other 3 dishes.

BOOOO!!!
Total bill came up to 1,070 baht.
I'm more bias towards No. 6, I'm sure with that amount, I can have better dishes.

Bangla Street after dinner.
That's when Patong's liveliest party zone becomes closed to traffic and ready for action! Famous for its raunchy nightlife, Bangla goes all out to entertain with girls, beers and music.




Spot the human.

Whole stretch of pubs/bars

Some nailing competition between the ang mo & the beer lady

"LADIES"
Some are chio lahs, but some really :O



Before heading back to our hotel, Crepe again!! :DD
Mango Signature. 
Baby still prefer the Nutella Mango we had on Day 1.

New bikinis added to my collection.
I ♥♥♥ these 2 sets cos of the colours!! 

Not forgetting our 2nd couple item!

Woooots, look who's that??
Mr. Hermit in a bottle for a night.
There are 2 hermit crabs btw. 

OHHH, Baby is not being cruel by trapping them in the bottle.
He showered them with lotsa TLC okay; gave them water, fruits & even check them out before sleeping. Anw, he released them the very next morning :<

See EVIDENCE!!!
He don't even check on me before he slp lohs -.-

This entry marks our end of Day 3
- Bed Time -

Day 4, which is also our last day, to be contd'...
