Travelling is really exhausting..! I wonder if you all felt the same way too. This month, Shanghai and Phuket, one for work and latter for holiday. An experience for both and enjoyed. (:
First time travelling for work, and first time going for a holiday with only the two of us. (i mean 2 person)
Though things dont go the way as we planned, and caused us to make a switch to Phuket instead.. But still,
kinda love it though.
We decided to go either Bangkok or Taiwan with our friends this time round, probably end of year.
First budget airline experience to Phuket, really budget lors.. FAINT. or maybe i am too use to Singapore Airline. OKAY, BUDGET AIRLINE .. two thumbs down !! NO TIGERAIRWAYS AGAIN. i just dont like it. way too uncomfortable~~
Reach Phuket at night & check into our hotel, called ibis.
Stayed there for 4 days 3 nights.
Went to the beach next day.. i love it. ((:
Well, the beach was damn nice.. BUT !!! they do charge for the chairs that you laid on for sun tanning though.. 80 baht for as long as you like, Like What The Hell lahs.. As though it is some kind of massage chair.. But still, we were there to enjoy, we paid.
I love the scenery there and it's so relaxing.. Got tanned, and I like it.
Initially, when we got to the beach.
And later on..
Alright, Phuket was not that bad actually. Especially for girls, and tt's what my baby said, "Wah! There's so much for girls to shop for." Indeed, there are many nice floral dresses for lady to as low as 80 baht( S$3.50 each). YOU really have to bargain like SIAO, and you can have the bargain you want. For example, I've got to bargain from 450 to 250 Baht, or 2 for 250 Baht..
On their four wheel- tuktuk..~
Lunch time~~
My fav. collection.
Phuket is filled with caucasians, it seems as though I'm in Europe or Australia. I am not exaggerating, 80% of the people there are Angmohs. (That reminds me of Bali's bombing incident) Most of them went there for holiday, whereas some lived there. Most of them are Aussie, but there were also some from US and Greece.
A Greece couple who was kind enough to take a photo for us, and were amazed by the camera I used after they reviewed the picture. Asked me for the details and price of it. I'm going to contact SONY and charge them for ambassador fee. :D (I know u are telling me to dream on. nvm)
This pancake was nice~! Banana with chocolate..
Took by the couple..
Tried their Thai food, and some were really authentic. I love this dish especially, Glass Noodle Salad.. GOSH.. I am seriously missing it now! (saliva filled my mouth) Forgot to take a photo of the restaurant which was the first and also the last restaurant we patronised for this trip. Their food was good, another dish was their Pineapple rice with Indian Curry. ARGH .. no photos for this as well, we were too hungry that we digged in right away. hahahs.
This is nice..~
Shopped around..
Happen to see Dunkin' Doughnuts and bought half a Dozen~~.. haha s.. FEI si wo lahs, lai ba!
Caught one of the world's most famous Carbaret show, SIMON Carbaret. The second time I caught this show, the first was with my family when I was at the age of 9 @ Pattaya. For those who know how Ladyboys look, I shan't explain further. ( I cant help myself, 'Damn gorgoeous and beautiful', but not all though..some were real FAT but they are a performer indeed. (: ) Oh ya, if u happened to go there next time.. u have to give them tips to take a picture with them(which me and baby dont know) cause they will just wave their hands asking you to go and take a picture with them. Like kana scammed. So choose the few you really want to take the picture with before running into almost everyone of them, unless you are really that generous..
She's the prettiest of all which i think. (tt lady's face being blurred as i dont know who is she.)
That's 800 baht for SIMON.. (S$35)
the following day, we went there for F1 racing as well as to film Sniper 2. heehee..
Go kart ride was scary!!! I felt so dangerous when I was in it.. There were 5 karts(including mine) on the track, everyone( baby, and 3 other angmoh guys) were at such a fast speed that I have to keep checking if I were blocking their way or worse, to hit me... and never did i expect, BOM.~!
My kart swirled out of the track and I was stucked on the grass. Damn that guy who hit me man.. Ka0s.. one of the angmohs.
The track, the karts are not like those in SG(safe), but those where you will be able to drift and drives at a super high speed. around 60km at a restricted circuit. ~.~ not up for it initially, but baby dragged me along. my heart went, DOM DOM DOM, even though i hold a car license. dont say that i am weak, unless u tried it. :P
GOT A SCARED OUT OF IT... ! It's exp though. 10 mins for 500baht(S$20) ! ! GOSH... i just realised that it's $20 SING DOLLAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! FOR F* 10 mins!
Didnt take any photos as i am traumatise. lols.
Next destination.. Sniper II. That was my first time shooting a REAL GUN!! There were so many different types of guns for your selection. (at different price range of course. the larger the gun the more exp. it gets, as well as the no. of bullets you want to buy.) So, handgun for me. NERVOUS as I was about to fire the first shot. It took me quite a while in this position( see below):
There's always a first time leis ..
This is mylove and me.
He complained that his gun was not well adjusted. Dont have zero-ing or whatever.. (cause he only got 6 out of 10 shots, and I got 8! whee.ee..~) Badly maintained guns, wonder if it will back fired one day. 1880 baht for both of us. (ard S$80) .. ~.~ sei dao siao ....
One thing good about Phuket is that their food is really affordable and nice. (: I love thai food to the max. lo..~~ TOM YUM!! my favourite.
Mylove got food poisoning on the third day!.. Must be the oyster that he ate and which I didn't. (Only $1.20/each, and he paid for the PRICE of it). Took care of him till he was back in SG.
Perhaps I will consider visiting there again.. or maybe not? (:
