Final Year Crazy Graduation Roadtrip Day 5- Phuket (Kota Bahru -Trang -Krabi -Phuket-Hatyai)

Day 5 - Phuket 

Today we decided to have a good rest after a hectic day.

We went out at 12pm to have a branch.

雨中漫步to search for nice restaurant

Prik Thai Horm Thai Food, the restaurant we chose...=)

the interior of the restaurant is quite 复古. 

Everything in the restaurant can let us remind of some childhood memory.

The food here is quite nice and full of local Thai style.

Although the price is quite pricey compared with the food we eat this few day,

 I still consider worth it if consider the environment and food.

Have a photo with the chef and also boss of the restaurant.

Finding travel packages at Phuket town. 

This times we no longer bargain for few hours aredi as we know the price different is not much also

We decide the plan at the second stall 

James bond Island + Tifanny Show total 1650 baht.

City tour

While waiting for the Tiffany show at night, we have a day tour around the
famous tourist spots around Phuket city.

Phuket view point

Kokchang Safari Elephant trekking

Wat Chalong

Big Buddha.( 仙境 version...haha )
That time we went is a bit hazy as the rain just stop,
we decided to come on the next day before we left Phuket.

Dinner

It's time for our dinner !!!
Since we have car, we decided to try my Thai Local food
 instead of those famous restaurant in tourist spots

Thanks to Yvonne, we found this restaurant,
local until the title also all is Thai letter...
If not the blogger gt provide coordinate and we see so many ppl we sure cant find it..haha
The name of this restaurant is Hong Khao Tom Pla (ฮ้องข้าวต้มปลา)

Some nuts and Ikan Bilis. We eat it while waiting as we are a bit hungry aredi

Although this is the most expensive dishes, the prawn was very fresh and definitely worth for it
Thumb up !!!

White tom yam soup. The cook had adjust the spiciness to suit our taste.
It is full of ingredients like mushrooms, pieces of fish, onions, kaffir lime leaves, and tomatoes.
We can only said that the boss is very genenous

Pla pad keun chai (ปลาผัดคึ่นฉ่าย)

 Gui chai pad nam man hoy (กุ้ยฉ่ายผัดน้ำมันหอย)

This meal I can said is the most delicious throughout our trip
The price is quite cheap also. We order some many seafood 1 person only 220 baht.
Super highly recommended

How to get there: 
The restaurant doesn’t seem to have an address number, but it’s located a few houses down from the southwest corner of Kra Road and Phuket Road, and around the corner from La Gaetana, a popular Italian restaurant。

Take a picture with the Boss. He was very friendly also and let us enter his kitchen.

Tiffany Show

We went to watch the Tiffany show straight away after the dinner
It is advisable to buy the ticket from the tourist agent than walk in
as the walk in will be more expensive

Tiffany show is definitely a must watch show if you visit Phuket
The "girls" here is pretty until I can said they were not much different to SNSD
After the show you can take photo with them  and of course need to pay,
Each photo 40 baht
and REMEMBER DONT TOUCH THEM,
EACH TOUCH WAS 300 BAHT !!!!

( sorry I cant post the photo here as my friends will kill me if I do that...haha )

Final Year Crazy Graduation Roadtrip Day 4- Hong Island-Phuket (Kota Bahru -Trang -Krabi -Phuket-Hatyai)

Day 4 - Hong Island


After a wonderful day at Phi Phi Island,
we choose to have a more relaxing Hong Island trip instead of 4 island hoping
as we plan to travel to Phuket at night.
However, the weather today not sunny like yesterday and raining quite heavily.
At first we want to cancel the trip however we cant get refund fully as we need to pay for the food prepared, therefore, eventually we just carried on and hope for the rain will stop...haha

The rainy weather at the jetty.

This times we choose the long tail boat as it's cheaper
(although I already advised them not to take based on my previous "adventurous" experience...XD)

1. Hong Island Lagoon

This is our first destination today, Hong Island Lagoon.
Jusr due to the water level  problem, the boat din stay long here

So, we just take few pictures here and proceed to new destination,
may be you all will wonder why our 男神 Meaw din take his selfie here
( which is rarely happen throughout the trip..haha )

The reason is....

He was sea sick due the bumpy long tail boat here. Due the size of the motor, long tail boat can only moves follow the waves instead of breaking the wave like speedboat
So, please for the readers here,
please invest more to choose speedboat to ensure ur comfortable trip...lol

2.  lunch

After around 1 hour on long tail boat, we were finally landed here for lunch...haha

Play around after lunch...=）

3. Hong Island Bay

Finally the weather become nice when we reach the climax of our tour, Hong Island Bay

Good weather good mood....And Meaw finally revive...

after drinking this...haha
( not purposely advertise for Chang beer...XD)

Some potential profile picture...haha

Malaysia next top model

and this end our Hong Island trip...=)

We have come simple lunch at the local street before driving to Phuket.

this is the local food I want to highlight, Songtam
It is like rojak in Malaysia but the ingredient is quite different..
worth for a try...=)

we reach Phuket after 3 hour drive...



this is the hotel we choose in Phuket after compared with other budget hotel in Phuket



The double room here only 450 baht per night for double room.
The room is quite big as shown in the picture and very clean.
They will provide 2 bottle of drinking water for u everyday...
and their service is vey good, when we request extra pillow and drinking water,
they din charge us extra also...
this is the best hotel throughout our roadtrip...=)

We walked around the Phuket city before we call it a day

Phuket night boxing stadium
Acoording to a Hong Kong tourist, it is a must go place for Phuket.
There are Muay Thai fight every Monday, Thursday and Saturday.
If not we went back on Thursday morning, for sure we will go to watch a fight..=)



Night club is extremely common in Phuket

We settle our dinner at the Phuket night market

walk walk sambil makan

Tomyam noodle mee...45 baht 好吃又多料

Coconut ice-cream, 25 baht
Side dishes can add as much as you like
and the owner also very honest...even the coconut juices also will u
super worth !!!

炒冰 80 baht
for me the taste is normal only and is quite expensive
but the preparation method is quite special for me

The benefit of roadtrip...去到哪，吃到哪
Not restricted by time and schedule
travel like a local !!
