Phuket | Thailand [Day 3 - 3 Khai Islands]

Hello peeps~

So, on our third day in Phuket, we joined the 3-island tour namely Khai Nok, Khai Nai and Khai Nui. Since we all had previously went to Phi Phi Island therefore this time we skipped the tour. The tour started in the morning where the van picked us up at the hotel.

Khai Nai

We spent a lot of time on this first island, mostly swimming and snorkeling around the beach. The sand was so white and the water was so clear. The rock structures around the island make the island looks beautiful. Emie and I spent quite a lot of time taking photos here, while Lukman enjoyed his snorkeling time.

Khai Nui

We did not stop on the island, but the boat made a brief stop in the middle of the sea. They gave us half an hour to snorkel here. Emie did not go down for snorkeling because he was feeling seasick, so only Lukman and I jumped off the boat. The only thing I remembered was that the guide shouted at us saying that there was a giant jellyfish roaming around. Gelabah ok! Cemas. Most of us were so panicked and quickly boarded the boat again. Demyu jellyfish, you are poisonous to us.

Khai Nok

Last but not least, the last stop was at Khai Nok Island. Here, they provided us with light lunch and fruits. We got a few buns to eat. We brought a loaf of bread as well to feed the fishes. The fishes were so hungry and they ate like crazy when we tossed the bread chunks. Haha..

4th Day

On our last day, in the morning, Lukman and I went for a quick stroll along the Patong beach.We watched some tourists were sunbathing, paragliding, swimming and a few of them were even jogging. What a healthy lifestyle. We also went to Starbucks to buy a tumbler for my friend who last minutely wanted it. We bought some pastries for breakfast as well. It is very important to take breakfast if you are traveling, or you will be feeling dizzy and make your friends uncomfortable. It should be a fun trip.

Checking out from Phuket, see you next time!

Some souvenir. :)

Phuket | Thailand [Day 2 - Around Phuket]

Hello all~

I am back! At least for a while before laziness creeps inside of me again. So, out second day in Phuket was basically a private van tour around the island. We had booked the tour yesterday after having dinner at a restaurant nearby.

Our tour guide was Ms Sookfun and she was a very nice and talkative lady. She helped us a lot in taking photos. Our first stop was Kata Viewpoint. It's a higher ground where we could see and observe Phuket town from above. We spent about 15 minutes here as there was not much to do here. You can take photo with a tame eagle here, with some fee.

Next stop was Big Buddha. I think there is a lot of Big Buddha in Thailand. The entrance was free but we need to climb the steps to reach the temple. It was actually a temple under the Big Buddha statue. Spent a few minutes here taking some photos and selfies before heading down to try the local coconut ice cream which costed THB40.

One of the famous landmarks in Phuket was Wat Chalong. It's a very majestic golden shrine and I thought that it was a very nice building. Inside the temple, it was very golden in colour; the wall, the beam and also the statues were all covered in gold.

Thailand is also famous with cashew production. We dropped by a cashew shop/factory where we were demonstrated on how cashew nuts were processed. Beginning with the plucking and separation of the nuts from the fruits. They sell a lot cashew variants with different flavour. Since cashew itself is very expensive, we did not buy any. We did try some of the testers though. Haha..

Asides from cashew buts, visiting honey shop was also a must (a must because we followed a tour). Here they displayed a huge bee hives which is kept inside a display glass shelf. A wide variety of products we sold here such as honey, bee pollen, honey ice cream and others.

Last but not least, our final stop for the day was Phuket Old Town. Here you can find a very colourful shop lots and it was nice to take photos. As the dusk was approaching, we were sent back to our hotel.

Okay, that's all for today's update.
