First Local Thai food in Phuket

The second day in Phuket was a free and easy day...

So we decided to be more adventurous...Even though according to the lady in the hotel, there were nothing much to see in Patong old town....when we reach the town, we were expecting to see some market along the street for us to shop around....from the map that we got, really dint show any special land mark for us to visit....finally we reached a market which we can at least tour around before we move on to the next destination...as our two friends were not very keen for shopping, they went for personal massage session....haha...




Here is the place we hang out while waiting for the weekend market started in the afternoon 4pm...the things sold here were not that much variety as we expected...still we managed to got something...then we were hungry..right opposite the market, there were a local restaurant which looked like the " cha chan ting" in malaysia....we decided to give it a try....









Coconut drink...12 Baht...tasted very sweet...the cocnut fresh was juicy....




Ice tea...10 baht...the tea tasted abit like the herbal tea in malaysia....




Fried Tung Fen....this tasted sweet.....must mix with the sambal and the fried little prawn...tased better...







Yee Mee in thai syle...this was the only food that tasted like Malaysia style....but the protion is so little....not enough for guys.....







American fried rice...this is the biggest portion among all the food we had ordered...








Thai Curry spaghetti...the spicies tasted very strong...abit spicy....the prawn was big...but the protion was really small....the spaghetti was just as big as a knuckle( 拳头)。。。。






Ice Milk Tea...15 baht...

Overall, the local food here tasted sweet....but the price was just nice...ranged from rm6.90-rm9.90....but we were really not that keen into the taste.....haha..anyway...nice try...






Big durian....we found it in the supermarket.....

欢乐的普吉岛之旅

Phuket trip-Part 1



7 月25 日-7 月28 日

这次的旅行, 可说是经过长期的计划和盼望。。就在我们把一切都计划周全,万万没有去留意天气预测。原来这期间是雨季,海浪都很大,很可能不能有出海的活动了。把我们都急死了。出门前几天大家还在担心。幸亏,全程都好天气,只有在第二天有小阵的雨。



7 月25 日当天早上,Suki 和Lee Ping 就从KK 飞到LCCT 来和我们会合。而我们还有Shing Chung 和James 就在我家集合。 。的士是由我负责联络, 本来我是要求一辆大的MPV型的士, 来的竟然是普通的,经过一番讲价后,同意以rm80 成交载我们到LCCT. 到了机场,还有很多时间才到check-in时间, 我们就到McD 去享用我们的午餐。。。期待着到了Phuket 的旅程。。。



Check-in 了之后,进到了boarding hall, 出现了搞笑的场面。 电视播放着印尼戏,好笑的是,电视没有播出声音,我们几个人竟然可以凭这画面,把剧情猜得一清二楚,真的不得不佩服自己。。。。哈哈。。。然后我们听见前往Jakarta的乘客要登机了,就见到人群开始排队了,我们就奇怪为什么前往Phuket 的还没排队呢? 当人群已经如龙般长了, 门要到开了, 才发现队伍都是要前往Phuket 的。。。亏我们之前 还夸口说, 一定要排到队伍前抢先上机。。。



到了Phuket机场,发现了机场内都安装了超大的cctv. 忍不住拍下来。 在登记处, 每个游客都必须让他们拍下照片,已证实这个人曾到此处。

在Phuket 机场,有很多的士和巴士。我们的预算是400baht一个人,出乎意料的,一辆大型的四轮驱动载我们六个人才需要1100baht. 从机场到酒店大约要40 分钟。Most of the cars in Phuket are Toyota. Many of the taxis are Isuzu. So comfortable sitting inside for 6 persons.






沿路的风景和建筑物都和沙巴的小镇很相似,又回到家乡的感觉。我们的酒店是在Patong Beach 的PatongBay Garden Resort (pyotravel.com). Phuket 岛最旺的就是Patong Beach。通过网站我们找到了这间经济又实惠的酒店。 双人床位,一间房只是rm 168一晚,还包早餐哦。。。。
酒店门口有摆放着一个板来欢迎当天到来的旅客。。我们在板上找到我们的名字,但是拼音都错了。。哈哈。。



我们的房间是没有阳台的,所以不能从房间欣赏美丽的海景。。那些有阳台的房间呢,想象早晨,手上拿着一杯茶,一边叹茶,一边吹着海风,看着海景,一点也没有城市的繁忙,多舒服。。。晚上,和三五知己一起, 喝杯酒,聊聊天。。。真是一大享受啊。。。。



不得不提我们的房间。。。入口有点小,以进门,就有几格的楼梯级,要很小心地走。。床好大,好舒服。。。最特别的是房间和厕所间有一扇窗,如果把它打开,就可以从房里望进去厕所,有情趣吧。。。。







酒店就坐落在海边,从这里望出去,就可以看到美丽的日落,大大的太阳出现在我们面前,感觉和太阳很靠近。好舒服哦。。海滩上很多人,有的漫步, 有的躺在沙滩上。这里的海浪非常的大, 一波接一波的海浪声,一直 围绕在耳边。在马来西亚很少有机会能够这么的方便就看到日落。可惜我的相机不能把这么美丽的景色带去。。因为阳光太刺眼,所以只能把它收在眼帘咯。。。。
