Day 1 at Phuket, Thailand

there goes my holiday!

2nd stop : Phuket, Thailand
I think I'm addicted to traveling. =P

Day 1

Departed from newly-opened KLIA2

that was our flight - AK829

spotted familiar thing - big bunch of dangling wires
saw this during my Ho Chi Minh trip last year
it looks very dangerous though, saw some sparkles were ignited from some of these wires
*goosebump*

it took us about 45minutes to reach our resort (Sea Sun Sand Resort and Spa) from the airport
swimming pool~ there are 3 swimming pools in total in the resort..
this resort is built on the hill side, thus we can have awesome view from the resort..

one of the unique design of the resort, this is a lift, as I have mentioned, it is on the hill side, thus our room is located on the top of the hill..

comfy bed so that we can get enough rest at night..
it was really tiring after outing for the entire day.

ooppss, saw someone naked in the bathroom?? haha

flat screen TV with over 50 channels (mainly thai language though, one of the disappointing point) 


candid cam by my sis, I was fast enough to give her a nice pose.. haha!


view from Sea Sun Sand Resort

view from another angle

most popular beach in Phuket - Patong Beach

Patong Beach 2

another awesome view..
awww..i miss the place to much!

first ever tuk-tuk ride~
so-called mini taxi in Thailand
it's a small modified van

my fake devil tattoo got sick~ LOL
everything fades..

tuk-tuk lining up to serve potential rider~ =P

thumb up to you! hahaha 

one of the viewpoint.. can't really remember the name..
the tour guide was not fluent in English, don't get what was he talking sometimes.. LOL
anyway, applause for his courage and effort in explaining every thing to us, we don't understand some though..

panorama with my iphone5



third stop: Big Buddha
it's on the top of dunno-what hill

another awesome view from the Big Buddha

panorama no.2


following behind Big Buddha, we stopped at one of the most significant Wat (buddhist temple) in Thailand - Wat Chalong

yeah, girls who wear short pant have to cover with a cloth or some sort of towel as a respect to the temple?..
the towels are provided by the temple, you have to return it upon leaving..




Big Buddha can be spotted from Wat Chalong..


cashew nut, it is a fake one.. hahaha! =)
 
saw this gasoline station by the road side..


let's have a closer look, okay?
Thailand is selling 300+ thai baht per litre of gas..
more expensive than Malaysia huh?

final destination for Day 1..
FantaSea "fantasy"
noticed that this EST cola beverage ad can be spotted everywhere in Phuket..
perhaps this is their favourite drink? 
it is somewhat similar to the big player (coca-cola & Pepsi), yet it is lacking of refreshing feel and fizziness..
*work-sickness* LOL
did some research on this category and am aware of this brand..

the dining hall.. Panorama 3 

carnival stage inside Fantasea..
est adv board again.. lol



palace of elephant..
it was where we enjoyed the show..
*no camera can be brought inside thus no picture*
clever business strategy huh..
they have very good and well-arranged system to keep everyone's camera and handphone or any recording devices.. thumbs up to them..



bleek~ please see carefully, this is not me!
her eyes are much smaller! hahaha 



wow~ white tigers in the fantasea!
they are going to extinct soon...

lastly, adorable husky soft toy wishing u good night and have a sweet dream




back to work yesterday and I can tell my manager and teammate were quite busy for the past several days without me.. a huge thank you to them for covering me / taking over my projects..辛苦你们了!
will work hard, then I can play hard! hahaha!
stay tuned for Day 2 updates peeps..
