returned from phuket on wed afternoon after a 2 hour delay at phuket airport, flying budget airlines is not advisable if ur legs are relatively long as the seats are more cramp than economy class, oh well the trade off is the lower air ticket cost and the flight wasn too long.
phuket was kind of nice
the beach is crowded with mostly caucasian people
very casual and laidback
relaxing is the key
the weather wasnt so nice on some days
especially with the rain on the beach......
went to a attraction called phuket fantasea
foods not bad, the show was nice, see chickens running from one end to another end of a stage is fun, the elephants performed nicely though one had to relieve itself on a stage ,dropping large pieces of " fertilisers" and filling a whole bucket with " contanimated water"
one thing that u will appreciate around thailand is the thai hospitality
hm i admire them for being optimistic and having a positiveoutlook towards life
afterall barely a year ago, phuket was hit by the tsunami
some places are still being repaired
another day went for a tour of some offshore islands whereby people will take u into caves or around the island in floating " kayaks", went inside a pitch black cave with bats hanging on the walls above u, when something drips from above , i hope it isnt bats relieving themselves.
went to see a mangrove swamp that had to be accessed by foot since it was low tide and u cant enter the enclosure by boat, lots of small crabs and mudskippers around.
went to a island beach where lots of tourists were enjoying themselves, there were lots of different companies bringing different ships to the beach with boatloads of tourists, had some fun on the island, i couldnt go swimming cos i didnt have trunks, so could only wade at the water while pulling my shorts as high as possible, in the end it still got wet . ironic isnt it go to beach and dont bring swimwear, tried a bit of kayaking using the inflated boat , er quite difficult and is definitely tiring on ur arms, it is not the standard type of kayak.
staying at patong beach means u will definitely have to bargain as this is a tourist hotspot and the locals jack up the prices. er i got a new 3/4 shorts, a mini torch which emits blue light ( i suspect its xenon), 2 shirts ...... thats about it , i saw plenty of games sold, but the prices of the psp games and psp consoles are much more expensive than in sg........ so yeah no games brought back thoug i would like to have grand theft auto liberty stories
okay so thats a rough summary of thailand
now in sg
cant say much now, off to bed , blog another time
