Phuket here we go! (PkBgPt-part1)

It was 20th of May, 4.00am.

10 people were queuing at the check-in counter at LCCT international terminal waiting to get their boarding passes to Phuket.

And by 8am, we're already there!

Sawadee-kap!

Here's the first day of our Phuket-Bangkok-Pattaya 6days 5nights trip.

Our guide plus driver, Mr.Koh brought us sight-seeing around Phuket town in a comfortable 10seater van. For your information, Phuket is not an island like Pulau Perhentian or whatsoever. It's actually something like Penang, with towns and shopping arcades all over, and it has a more tranquil sea and less hustle traffic condition. Our first stop is at Kao Rang, better known as Rang Hill. Kao means hill in Thai.

From there, you can observe the whole Phuket town in just a glance. Something like, this.


Then we went to have our brunch, a local food called Kenom Jin. It's something like Kelantan laksa, if you want to ask. A bowl of rice noodle served in yellowish fish broth, with various vegetables you can freely mix with. Picture below concludes everything.


Hearty brunch's done. So we proceeded to a cashew nut factory to see how's a cashew nut is produced.

In front of the factory, I was posing with a cashew fruit. The part I'm holding is the signature nut, except that it has been enlarged thousand of times.

I had free cashew nuts until I never want to eat cashew nuts ever again. Okay time for another spot, temple. There's too many temples in Thailand that you will never remember any of their names, unless you're a Thai or the names are short. You know, they always come in long and hard to pronounced names.

In this temple, it hosts the sacred Buddhist relics(舍利子).

We took about half an hour walking around and then we moved on to the sea view point, which is the last spot before proceeding to our hotel.


The view point, in other word, a cliff la. Breezy and cool, with superb scene of shimmering sea. One can actually sit there, gazing at the ocean without realising time passes, explains how relax one can be. Macam this guy.

The mind is empty. All you can listen is the splashing of waves, and the gentle whispers of the breeze.

My bro and a sou.

Oh ya, forget to mention that there's a huge windmill on the top of the cliff. I was confused whether I was in Holland that time when I saw it.


So happy to see the sea that the post came out naturally.


The next post, bang bang!
