Phuket Holiday – Day 5, March 13, 2011

Today is our last day at Phuket. We are planning to go to Patong Beach by Bus.To bad I get my period, so I can't wear my new bikini.

Now it is time to packed back to Jakarta. Goodbye Phuket. It was a such wonderful vacation. Hope I can go back and stay a little longer, a month maybe :D.

Phuket Holiday - Day 4, March 12, 2011

Good morning, can't wait to go to James Bond Island. As usual preparing ourself in the morning. Our tour guide, Nok, pretty witty lady :D. She keep talking never get tired. She's so funny.

Our companion trip are two couples, Indian gay couple and a normal couple.  Our first stop is Monkey Temple.

From Monkey Temple we go directly to James Bond Island. It takes 30 minutes by boat to go there.

Nok only gave us an hour in James Bond Island, because we have to go for kayaking then our lunch waiting in Moslem Village.

Don't forget to put your hand like my picture. Look like you lift up the rock, that calledJames Bond Island. It called like that because in 1974, they shoot James Bond film, "The Man with the Golden Gun", starred by Roger Moore.

Tips: Don't buy souvenir at James Bond Island, it's more expensive, unless you want to donate.

After an hour surrounding and taking picture, we go for kayaking. The kayaking is different with yesterday. Today we don't have to paddling.

 

After kayaking we go to Moslem Village, a floating village. We take lunch there. The food taste is similar with Indonesian Food. No wonder the food is the same, their ancient came from Indonesia  We were walking around the village to see how people's live there. Some of them sell the merchandise, some of them a fisherman.

That's the end of our trip to James Bond Island and Moslem Village for today. Before we drop at Weekend Market by Nok. We visit The Gems Gallery. Then we spent our night at Weekend Market. Shopping and trying an insect snack..hmmm, spicy just a little bit tickled in my throat. 

Tomorrow we prepare to go to Patong Beach, before take off back to Jakarta at night.

Phuket Holiday - Day 3 March 11, 2011

Today we woke up in the morning, ready to go to Phi Phi Island. As usual, is like a ritual before and after going out we always stop by at Seven Eleven.

We picked up at seven o'clock and after picked up one couple, we go directly to Rassada Harbour. When we're getting to the boat, they take a picture of us, don't forget to collect after the trip if you want to have a souvenir, "your framed picture".

 It takes around two hours to Phi Phi Island to be precise to Phi Phi Don. The boat drop some passengers who do not go for snorkeling in Maya Bay where " The Beach" have been filmed with co-star Leonardo DiCaprio.

Then we go to Maya Bay to diving. The water was very clear. Unfortunately, because of  tsunami at 2004 the fish only left in one species. They gave us 30 minutes to swim and snorkeling.

From Maya Bay, we go to Monkey Beach
At monkey beach we go for kayaking. All participant has a partner, except me. So i have to do kayak by myself, it's so fun. Just as I expected.

 We do kayaking from the boat to Monkey Beach. They just gave us 15 minutes to take a picture and back again to the boat.

Then it is time for lunch. We go to Phi Phi Don. It is the center of Phi Phi Island. There is a hotel, restaurant, shop. I buy some dress and bikini there, afraid that I won't find in Phuket. Actually, the price higher than Phuket, so better you buy in town.

Finally we have to go back to our hotel. It was fun adventure. We have to take a rest before going to Patong Beach at night.

A nightlife at Patong Beach. If you are looking and like a nightlife you better stay at Patong. The city it so alive at night. Since the bus only served until 6 pm, then we took Tuk-tuk (the big one, not small one). We charged BHT400 one way, he suggest to us to go back by taxi.

Our first destination at Patong, Hard Rock Cafe. We have to buy the t-shirt, for our collection. After that we go for dinner. Food more expensive compare to Phuket Town.

Then, it is time to go back to Phuket Town, prepare for tomorrow, trip to James Bond Island.

Phuket Holiday - Day 2, March 10, 2011

Wake up in the morning in better room. Ready to start a day. Today I can use my blackberry using local number that we get at the airport last night. A lot cheaper than you have to use Indonesia number. BHT70 for 3 days unlimited.

This morning we are ready to go to traditional market near the hotel. The market is so neat, well organized. From the outside more like Mall instead of traditional market. We buy local snack, local food, enough for brunch before we are going to City Tour with Mint, our guide today, she is working as a marketing at our hotel.

Back from market we still have 2 more hours. Gres and Linn want to go to a beach. I look at the map, there is a nearest beach, Phuket Bay. When we ask our guide, Wy, how long to get to Phuket Bay. She said only take 15 - 20 minutes walk. then we decide to walk to Phuket Bay.

In fact, it takes more than 30 minutes to go there. Suggestion, never believe local people set of time :D.
When we almost got to Phuket Bay, there is a man who offer to take us around, just paying BHT200. Everything cheaper here than Jakarta. But be careful, you have to know how far you will go. Don't get tricked.
 

After take photograph at Phuket Bay. Our guide brought us to souvenir shop. We didn't buy anything. Then we go to the hill, name Rang Hill. The view more like Dago Upper Side in Bandung. From Rang Hill we back to the hotel and still have time to take lunch at Sea U Restaurant, in front of our hotel. The restaurant is nice, the food is good, delicious. Service also good.


At 2 past 10, we picked by Mint our tour guide. We start our city tour from Big Buddha.
The Big Statue is in the hill, named Nakerd Hill, between Chalong and Kata.

About 10 years ago a group of friends were walking through the forest in the Nakkerd Hills between Chalong and Kata when they stumbled upon a place with stunning vistas of both sides of the island – Chalong Bay lay in one direction while on the other they looked down over Kata and the Andaman Sea. It would, they thought, make a perfect place for a viewpoint – something that could become as well known as Phuket’s favourite sunset viewpoint, at Laem Phromthep.

From Big Buddha we head to Promthep Cape to see sunset. unfortunately we arrived earlier. Didn't have a chance to see sunset. we just take a picture.

From Promthep we take dinner at Rawai Beach. Enjoying Seafood menu while sunset.

Back to the hotel, we were planning our trip for tomorrow. We were look to some local travel agent. We've been lucky that there was a guide who drive us to look travel package that suit with us. Finally, we get Phi Phi Island and James Bond Island, both VIP with canoeing at BHT2000. Cheaper compare to Bali.

Can't wait to see Phi Phi Island, location where "Beach" movie that cast by Leonardo DiCaprio. Even if Tsunami happen, the beach still kept their beauty.

Phuket Holiday – Day 1, March 9, 2011

The day has come. Finally go to Phuket after 8 month booking flight.

Our flight etd at 5.40 PM from Soekarno-Hatta Airport. Check in and boarding. Phuket here we come!!
We are landing @ Phuket International Airport around 8.11 PM. There is no different time between Phuket and Jakarta. The Airport seems small, then I realize it small because we are @ arrival section.

As per our friend guidance, that we have to look for taxi to go to our hotel. You have to bargain, that’s my friend told me, he gave a hint that charges to our hotel from airport around BHT600. Then we are looking inside the airport, and we get rate around BHT800, no less. We decide to look outside the airport, we get rate at BHT900, but after bargain we are finally get rate at BHT600.
After 30 minutes we arrived at our hotel Phuket Backpacker.

Phuket Backpacker Lobby

The hotel no to big, location near traditional market. In front of the hotel there is pub. Small but nice. Crowded by tourist. After check-in we go to our room at 2nd floor. But Me and my friend Ira get behind and we go to the wrong floor at rooftop. That’s so funny, when we met with other guest, he laugh out loud.
But, the room isn’t like we expected. It’s more like dorm room. There is no cupboard. bathroom outside, and room smell so bad, since we have roommate that already stay almost a month there.

Actually the service is good. Nice environment and you will feel like home. We also get free beer. After cleaning our room (you do it by yourself, no room service), we sit at the cafe in front the hotel. There is a pool table there, we take some picture and decide to walk around the hotel.
After walk a view block, we find nice pub, they have live music. We hang out there for a while. Neighborhood around hotel is more like small city in Indonesia. When we walk the ambient is like Braga Street in Bandung, Indonesia.

Back to the hotel we decide to upgrade our room to better one. Not in the same building, but we get nice room. More civilize
Time to rest after long journey. We have to prepare ourselves for tomorrow morning. Tomorrow we will go to traditional market near the hotel, and in the afternoon we go City Tour to Big Buddha, Rawai Beach, Promthep Cape to see sunset.
