Phuket Trip - Day 1

On the day before my flight.. it was so hot.. packed my stuff and i really did travel light.. very light indeed.. the lightest i packed ever.. i was thinking of buying some pants and t shirts over there but then.. didn't have the time or didn't have the designs i wanted or the price is not suitable.

Just some pics taken inside the plane..


2 islands in the middle of the sea
The nasi lemak and green tea cost RM 10 on air asia flight
As soon as we touch down in Phuket Airport at 4.40pm local time.. we took our baggage and stuff and walked out to our Thai tour agent.. but before that .. they will give you a welcome gift.. its a necklace but not the flower type but instead its made out of sea shells.. and there is a pratty thai lady to take the pic with you.. i didn't buy the pic back cause it cost me 300 baht for 3 pics.. well one thing i realise that they love taking pics and selling it to you..

After that we were brought to this Cashew nut factory.. i didn't know that cashew nut is actually from a tree that looks like apple..

here is the pic of the Cashew nut tree

This is what the nut looks like
They'll have to crack this nut with this special human operated machine
The end product--- the cashew nut

After that factory.. we were brought to the Tshirt factory.. where most of the T-shirts in phuket are distributed from here.

the overview of the shop
This is the T-shirt i wanted to get but no stock .. sigh..
The shoplot infront of my hotel.. alot of massage parlours
Night view of the hotel from my balcony

after checking into my room.. i had to rush down for dinner cause heard that the buffet dinner ends at 8pm but that time its already 7.15pm.. had my dinner and went back to hotel to shower.. after shower.. my colleagues already out in the streets wondering around.. for me.. i came down and rush out of the hotel.. cross the small pathway and saw this guy and ask me.. "Hi sir.. you want me to massage for you"

i was like.. nooo.. and i walked off.. just to let you know.. the shoplots about 10 seconds walk away from my hotel is all gay area.. gay bar.. or maybe gigolo's are there looking for customers.

i walked off and reached to a busy street .. where people selling things on the 5 foot walkway and opposite it is the seafood restaurant.. plenty of it..

i took a right turn and saw come of my femal colleagues.. walk about 10 minutes .. still no sign of them..
turn back and walk the other way round.. well this side of phuket becomes alive when the skies get dark.. you see pubs, bars, agogo's bar (girl dressed in skimpy clothing dancing on the bar counter holding to a pole) .. then i turn right to Bangla road.. this street is full of pubs, disco's bars, ladyboys.. massage girls.. the whole street pratically and you can see alot of Ang mo's here.
