Phuket Trip Day 2

Woke up early for breakfast at the hotel. The place was not packed and food also ok lor. The usual American breakfast and things. We ate our fill and then took some photos also. Haha… seemed to be addicted to taking photos recently.

Then we went to roam the streets of Phuket. We went in the other direction as yesterday… Just that few minutes out and we bought some T-shirts from the stores. 1 for hubby, 2 for my sisters and 2 for me. The store holder wants to make a carrot head out of me leh. Asking for like 1700 baht! Wah! Really think I carrot head leh. So began the bargain process and then finally manage to reduce the price down to a total of 950 baht. It’s still quite expensive as compared to some other stores. But we are happy with the price liao so ok lor. Settled.

We din stay out too long in the streets, it was simply too hot and too many irritating locals calling out ‘tuk tuk’ and others. We went back to hotel after that, took another swim and then wait for time for our massage.

At 2.20pm, the massage palour sent their car to come to pick us up. Good service hor? The massage palour was at the other ends of the Patong beach street. The massage was a good 2 hour, 1 hour on just the foot and then another hour for a full body massage. It was bliss and I tell you, feels so good! And my body feels sooo good and refreshed after that 2 hours of massage. All this for only 850 baht each leh! Wah… how to find it in SG?! Plus, we were give pick up and also sent back to our hotel.

We din want to go back to hotel, so we asked the driver to drop us at the head of the street and we walked back slowly. Just this drop off, again, I manage to get something leh. Very happy. Haha… bought another bag. This time it’s even cheaper. Only 199 baht and was given a 20 baht discount voucher but din have the chance to use at all coz nothing to buy from there liao.

Went into a street and there were lots of food stores there and we had our dinner there. Cheap cheap lor. A meal for the both of us, with Tom Yam soup, rice, beef, a veg and 2 drinks was like 265 baht. Complete meal leh. Feels so full after the meal also. Hm…think, I don’t really like Thai food coz none of it taste right to me except for the Tom Yam soup and rice… haha… Bought some snacks at the mini mart then we head back to the hotel to wash up from the oil that was on our body. Went down to the beach to enjoy the breeze and also the water and night view. It’s really so serene there. But the waves are just as strong since yesterday when we saw it, the strength of the waves does not seem to have reduce. Even when it’s low tide, the wave rushing up to the shore licking at our feet and we can feel the sand rushing out from under us. But very soon, we felt very sticky and go back to hotel already.

We spent the night watching ‘Discovery Channel’ on TV, eating snacks and then falling asleep at the very early time of 11++ pm. I always find it a waste to sleep early when on holidays. There’s so much to see, to do, to try, to eat and to experience! Hiding in the hotel room seems such a waste to the limitless things that we can do! But hubby disagree, he rather hole up in the room then to be outside coz he says, there’s still lots of time to be doing all those over the next few days. And more ever, Phuket is 1 hour slower behind us as compared to SG, so the actual time he says is already after midnight!
So it’s an early night for us after I have taken a picture of all the things that we bought today.
