Phuket

I havn't blogged about Phuket yet right ? well I thought I could give a visual on how things were during our stay.

The view from above . We took Air Asia by the way . Never have I seen the food I eat from local grocery stores like Ribena and Maggi could be priced at such high prices. I rather get a McD !

The flight took us about an hour and 15minutes . We booked a room in this 4-star hotel called 'Burasari' - located right smack in the middle of Patong Beach town area and walking distance to the night market there . When we got there, a hotel limo was waiting for us. Or supposed to..

The limo arrived more than an hour late due to some confusion with the arrival time that we have provided them with. But the new Toyota Camry that picked us up made me forget bout it coz it was such a comfortable car.

We arrived and checked in and here's the view of the hotel :

The swimming pool was nothing out of the ordinary but it was still fun to swim in. I finally managed to swim! Thanx to my hot female instructor ;P .

The garden coffee house :

This was where we had our complimentary breakfast . This place was called LLoyd's Brasserie . It was named after the this chef dude who appeared a lot on TV . Well the main dishes were all his creations.

and here's the best part , the room :

the idea of having a toilet with a window overlooking the bedroom disturbed me at first, coz you don't wanna be making unpleasant noises when you're doing your 'investments' right ? hehe .. by the way , the brown bag's complimentary , you can take it wherever you want . Mini Bars are free of charge as well as daily complimentary fruits .

huge bed , 3 times bigger than mine :P

and even the hotel toilet looked nice :

I felt so sayang use the toilet coz it was too clean :P

We shopped a lot at the night markets . I didn't do all the prices negos , I let the missus do the talking . I just pay hehe .. Seriously man , I can't even bargain with a kid . I'm lousy at it. And we also went to this famous shopping center called 'Jung Ceylon' , about 20mins walk from our hotel :

Nothing much here except I bought a Fossil watch coz there was a Fossil sale! so there goes half of my budget already :P Got myself a Liverpool European Away Kit for RM35 .

Despite our battle to suppress the evil lure of chocolates , we finally succumbed to the forces of the dark side here :

how can you not be seduced by the dark side when it looked this good :

it was even cocky enough to say this :

Unfortunately we don't have that in Malaysia. Besides that , we had massages , Thai style. And somebody got her nails done :

My lower back heeled after the session and how can it not heal , especially when your being twisted here and there like a gymnast with sounds of bones crackling.

Finally , the beach :

Well the beach in my opinion , is nothing to shout about . I think our very own Redang or Perhentian would look so much better.

Overall, I have to say it was something different to what we have experienced before , especially in terms of culture and food . Looking forward for a second visit next year ;). All this would not be possible if my purple didn't found the Burasari website . Thank you for coming up with a marvelous idea . Appreciate all the time we had there :) .

That's all for now, need to shower and get on to the thesis paper I was supposed to help :)

Til all are one .......


Peace be upon you all ....
