PHUKET!!♥
-3:37 AM
Finally get time to post about me holiday at phuket
here goes...
Day 1:In Thailand, do as the Thais do
woke up at 0600 and left for Budget terminal at Changi airport
reached the airport when Renyi's plane just departed
got onto the plane(Tiger Airways) at 0830 reached phuket, Thailand at 1000
got our bags and met our taxi driver who my father hired to drive us wherever, whenever we wanted to. (He was like a really really nice tour guide)
Checked in at Holiday Inn where we stayed. Really nice place.
Then we went to ride elephants.( I have yet to get the pics downloaded from the camera)
The guy leading the elephant made us a fish and a bird with a leaf, like origami.
Kinda funny really, cause we were like really scared we would fall off, even with belts on, 'cause there's this downhill uphill slopes, but the guy was just sitting there on the elephants head making origami...
after that we wanted to either play paintball or rifle shooting, but we settled for going back to the hotel so we could swim at the beach. Then at night we shopped a bit then we ate at this roadside seafood restaurant. I got to eat LOBSTER, SMEARED WITH GARLIC, BUTTER and cooked to perfection. Hee=DWe ate other seafood, and TOMYAM. i <3>
after that i went back to knock out. My bro, dad, and grandad went to watch muay thai boxing.
Day 2:Sailing, sailing, over the bounty seas...
We woke up, had breakfast at the hotel's restaurant then we drove for 2 hrs to phangna where we got on a private boat. We went to this canoe place where they will canoe us to little caves here and there some like caverns where u go inside and u look around u is all rock wall, but when u look up way up, u can see the sky...ITS SOOO AWESOME!!.. sadly no pics cause it was drizziling and my dad didnt want to "spoil his camera lens". There was this rock which looked like sumone praying..
After that we sat on the boat and went to JAMES BOND ISLAND!!!!its actually just a rock...-.- but when u go to phuket , u should see james bond island.yup.
Then we sailed to this village by the sea place and had sumore seafood. and <3>
Then we sailed back. Then we went to this place where they farm pearls...and my dad spent like few thousand dollars on my mum...At first they kept discussing about which pearl would match wad, my baby sis was making friends with the ladies working there and my bro was watching a movie on his psp. after a very long half an hour there they bought their things and left. We went to the Lemongrass House where they sold scented things. It was really nice being there. We bought things like bottles of scented pillow sprays...-.-, mosquito repellent, soaps, stuff to burn... and we ended up carrying a bow load of stuff back 'cause the things there are SUPER CHEAP. Then we walked along our hotel and found this western food restaurant which had really expensive food. I ate surf 'n turf. Then we shopped a bit more. then we went back home to sleep.
Day 3:Kinda a waste of time
My mum and dad left to play GOLF...at 6 sumthing in the morning. the rest of my family had breakfast and i just slept in until they came back then we went swimming at the beach (I LOVE PLAYING WITH THE WAVES) then at the pools. When my parents came back, my father brought my sis and i to braid our hair...as in everything into many little little braids...i'm so glad u guys haven't seen me yet. I look VERY VERY DIFFERENT.-.- it took like 2 hrs and my but got really tired.
after that we went shopping at downtown Phuket. We went to this mall and ate dougnuts and bought chengmai silver at like 95 baht for each piece...that less the $4.50. (Which is very cheap)
The guy there selling the silver was like demonstrating its real silver by asking u to hold on the the ends of the chain while he takes a chopper and like runs it over the chain,... and there's no scratches... but ppl walk away cause it really scary to have a chopper almost slice u're finger.lol.
after that we ate a t a thai restaurant where we had tomyam<3>
Day 4: Home sweet Home.
We got up at 0700 and left for the airport. said goodbye to our lovely taxi driver then ate breakfast at the burgerking. My sis was having stomach problems and had to go to the toilet like every 5 mins to throw up or sumthing. We got on the(budget) plane again and waved adieu to Phuket. came home and knocked out on my bed.
the world needs MUSIC.
