BlUrT BuRp...: August 2009

My long awaited holiday is finally here!.. but now it is over.. but i had a good time in Phuket..
I hate it when holidays end.. but oh well.. all good things will come to an end..

Day 1 - 15 Aug 2009

We left on 15 Aug on the 1320 flight.. poor baby worked till morning and did not get any sleep..

baby filling out the Thai customs form for me while i take photos hehe..

waiting for boarding..

on Silkair.. about 90% of the passengers were ang mohs..
and Cynthia Koh was on the same flight as us!

Right after we landed, the first thing i did was to bomb in the Phuket toilet.. hehe..
Then we queued for an hour to get our passports chopped.. they were damn slow..
we were the last passengers from our flight..

On the way to the resort.. baby looks damn tired

yup.. he is tired... he fell asleep along the way..
sshhhh

after an hour car ride, we finally reached our resort!!

Lobby
very boutique style..

everything looks new and white..

Our room.. with a see through bathroom..

The balcony with pool access

the pool view from the balcony..

Direct from room to pool

awwww.. swans

Newly weds heh..

we took a walk in the nerghbourhood and it is quite nice there... not too crowded like Patong beach and yet still surrounded by cafes restaurants and some shops. not too comercialized.. but everywhere we go we see mostly ang mohs.. there were very few asian tourists there..

Banana pancake with nutella..
the uncle took alot of effort to make it..

yummy!..

we went back to the resort for a swim.. need to enjoy the pool as i purposely booked the pool access room...

baby is damn skinny la

sitting at the balcony

trying not to get the camera wet..

in the Jacuzzi

it was very ticklish but damn shiok... i love the pool!

The tanning deck

showering area..

after our swim..
too cold to go into the room

so relaxing..
i like..

Dinner at some restaurant..
mussels, prawn, fish, crab, squid... all seafood

Baby can hardly keep his eyes open by night after being awake for more than 24 hours..

Day 2 - 16 Aug 2009

When we arrived yesterday, we saw a huge buddha sitting on top of the mountain.. so today we rented a bike and wanted to go up the mountian to see the big Buddha.

my pink helmet..

baby riding, i snapping..

we traveled for a while and it started raining.. so we had to stop by the side of the road to wait for the rain to stop..

wet..

Continued after the rain became a drizzle... the climb up the mountain was steep and slow..
so scary...

Finally we reached the top!
Construction is not complete yet..

Forgiveness makes u happy..

Golden Buddha

Entrance to the temple.. Still in construction

Blessings from Buddha

Posing for the camera

Along the way down the mountain we pass by some elephants so we decided to take some photos with them.. it costs us 100 baht

feeding them bananas
They have very big fat juicy tongues

i scared the elephant suddenly use its trunk to hit me

poor baby.. looks painful

After seeing big Buddha we went tone of their shopping malls called Central Festival.. everything there is very expensive...

they had Maserati on display at the centre of the mall..
I think this is the only time i will get to sit in one...

Lunch at some Jap restaurant..

With nothing to buy, we decided to go back to Kata beach and laze around there...

acting cool

the sun is very glaring..

enjoying the sun

me too

Tom yum soup dinner!

my Margarita..

Lobster cocktail with some other lobster dish..

finish off with a banana split..

Day 3 - 17 Aug 2009

baby's yaya face at breakfast..

a photo before we hit the road..

our rented Jeep which looks like a pick up

driving along the coast..

the gear stick is like those of a pick up

looking out on the road..

Finally we reached Patong beach!.. that is where everyone is!..
even the chairs we sit on we gotta pay for it..

clouds coming in

ahhh... so nice..

our coconuts

we only tanned a while and felt bored so we left.. the clouds were closing in..
we were driving in circles around Patong beach and did not know the way out of the maze!!
