Sawadee ka - Road to Paradise - Part 2

Day 3 - Today is a disappointing day, as we are supposed to be going to James Bond island and Phang Nga Bay for canoeing. We have bought the package on the first day we arrived but I was having problem with my skin when I came back yesterday. I have no choice but to cancelled the trip and thinking of another alternative to kill our time at Phuket. 
We've decided to rent a motorcycle for us to find out more of Phuket. We end up spending time at the shopping mall to buy some souvenirs for friends and families. After that, we went to the well known and legendary 'The After Beach Bar'. The journey from Patong to the destination was about 1 hour. It was really fun riding the bike around Phuket as there are lots of sightseeing along the way. I really enjoyed the beach, sun and the culture in Phuket. Everyone is really friendly and helpful to help us with the direction to the After Beach Bar. In fact, it is not easy to find a place which is so foreign and communication is a barrier sometimes. But we made it through Karon, Kata and going up a steep hill and Voila, we found the paradise...It so beautiful and amazing..Nothing can be compare to this breathtaking view..
Dinner time = yummielicious seafood
Day 4 - We drove to the famous 3 beaches view point or known as Kata Viewpoint for fantastic view of Kata Noi, Kata and Karon beach. Again, the scenery never fail me. It was indeed a good one!! But before that, we stopped by Kata beach to take some pictures. I am wearing dress by NewLook that i bought from Singapore, Topshop sandals and my hat that I've been having since I was still teenager.

Sawadee ka - Road to Paradise - Part 1

Day 1 - Finally made it our way to Phuket around evening time. We quickly checked into our hotel and dashed out to the town, hoping to explore a bit more and find some good food to fill up our stomach. After having dinner, we walked around and found this cute little van that they converted it into a mini bar.. We've decided to try our favourite cocktail, Pina Colada..Guess what, it is really good. Furthermore, We've even had another one which was recommended by the bar tender..I can't recall the name of the cocktail but it was blue in colour.



Day 2 - Phi Phi Island and Maya Bay which was made famous by the movie, The Beach by Leonardo Dicaprio. I watched it before, the only part of the movie that I like was the making out scene at the beach and IN THE SEA..Ha ha..
We departed from the harbor with speedboat and took us almost 1 hour of bumpy and rough ride to reach the destination. I do think that it is worthwhile with all the rough journey we had after we saw this magnificent Phi Phi Island.It is really breathtaking and beautiful. I was so captivated by the crystal clear and emerald colour of water.
Guess what I found! We saw this big shell lying around the beach,so we quickly snap some pictures with Mr.Shell..I am wondering whether it is a big oyster? or it used to be a home to a beautiful pearl?

Next stop is Khai Island. It is a tiny little island surrounded by crystal clear emerald green water perfect for swimming and snorkeling. I must say the ride to Khai island is more tough than before. It's been one hell of a ride!! But it is paid off..just by judging with all this beautiful pictures...
