Phuket Trip - Day 2

The morning call at 6.30am.. Its a prerecorded alarm by their hotel staff mentioning me and my roomate's (daniel) surname Mr ... and Mr ... time to wake up.. it goes on and on and on until you hung up.. so after hearing that.. we hung up hahaha..

woke up and prepared to freshen up.. then head downstairs for breakfast..
Had omellete, pork sausages, chic sausages, garlic fried rice, porridge and guave juice.

Then proceeded with everyone there and talking about yesterday's experience of our 1st night in phuket.. after that.. at about 8.30am.. we departed for their tours.. went to one of the place where you can overlook the indian ocean.. pretty nice view i'd say and strong winds and waves crashing on the rocks there.

Some view of the islands opposite us

a nice view of water going between 2 islands..

There is a huge rock beneathe the sea.. the waves crash upon it in circles

then later we were brought to a place where we took our life jacket and proceeded in a small bus to the shore to take the speedboat to the Coral Island.. its too commercialised.. people playing banana boat.. playing parasailing.. everything is on that island.. so the water is not as clear as redang..

just a few pics.. for day 2.. will post more about it when i finish compiling the photo's from my colleagues.

A quick briefing before we board on the speedboat
The speedboat that we took

The water is clear but not as clear as redang's

Phuket Trip - Day 1 continuation

Continuation of day one here..

After finding my colleagues we walked through the busy streets of Bangla road.. met them at the end of the road and turn right.. well this place is like a big square.. just walk to the end turn right and do that again in another 700 metres and turn right and eventually you will come back to the hotel.. we saw shops selling board shorts.. underwears everywhere.. like calvin klien.. billabong.. T-shirts.. and polo T cost only RM 15 after negotiating the price with them..there are also alot of coat/suit making shops..

Then we crossed the road and saw something like Al-ikshan shop here in malaysia.. they sell everything.. (psst... we only went in cause its cooling and check out the price difference) hahaha Then we saw Mcd and the Ronald Statue here is fatter with the hands welcoming you.. most of the meals cost about 150 baht. Then we passed by some massage parlours.. hmm looks like its operated by ladyboys cause they're quite manly looking,... After walking around tired and thristy and hot.. we went to 7-Eleven.. stuff's quite cheap.. i got my bottle of coke for 10 baht..

this is the RM 1 The coke that i drank On the way there are seafood restaurants everywhere.. some of their seafood Tiger Prawns Frozen lobsters Look at the size of the Frozen Lobsters.. Then we walked back to the nearby our hotel and saw some lady boy show


After that.. .we headed back to the hotel.. some went for massage, some went for tattoo some went for foot massage.. i went for a 2 hour thai massage.. which cost me RM 50 .. kinda cheap but i heard that Bangkok is cheaper. One thing for sure.. they're never to stingy with their oil.. they practically flood me with the massage oil.. but it was a good rub and after that we met the other guys which we seperated earlier..

One of my colleague made friends with the Massage lady and they went out for supper.. we just had a drink and get to know her better and she offered to bring us out the next day with her modified Vios.... then we headed back to the hotel to sleep at about 3am.. slept at 3.30am after my shower and ... day 2 begins..

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.

Tshirt factory briefing...
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.

to be continued...Part 2 of Phuket holiday

Monday 12th May..

Last Monday was a holiday for me.. As usual.. i'll bug my sifu (mentor) in klang for some breakfast.. fishing.. prawning and some dinner..

When i reached klang in the morning around 9.30.. i received a call from him asking "eh..where are you now.. the prawns can wait to get into hot soup" kinda comments.. this is a super funny guy.. i'll tell you more in a bit..

Well this sifu of mine.. i've learn some tricks and tips from him.. he's never stingy with his advices.. and not forgetting FOOD!!.. He really knows how to torture people asking him for more of his good food..

I had.. steam chicken with his special ginger sauce baked in tong guai (some chinese herb)1 pcs of tiger prawns also baked in the same manner to test the product whether it goes well with tiger prawns.. (sorry no pics for this meal.. simply to irresistable and only realise i forgot my camera half way thru eating it)

Sambal petai cooked with tiger prawns.. and not forgetting the tiger prawns mee hun kuey.. this is what i had for breakfast.. kau kau.. this is what i call a heavy breakfast.. but sorry la.. only 2 pics..
Mee Hun Kuey.. RM 3.30 per bowl.. (prawns not inclusive ar)
Tiger prawns sambal petai

After that we went fishing.. ermmm.. more like chair rental cause we paid RM 30 but didn't catch anything apart from some small fishes.. my sifu commented and look at the water gate.. mind you that there is alot of plastic and some rubbish around this water gate.. usually it clears when its super high tide when its fast moving waters.. not alof of rubbish but according to my sifu he commented..
" Hey i think the fishes are on leave like you la.. thats whay they're not bitting.. or either they're confuse and can't see our bait cause there's rubbish around.. so the fish eyes also cannot see cause rubbish blocking.."

i burst our laughing and almost ROFLMAO.....

then after that went to Bukit Tinggi in klang for some bill payments and had our lunch.. muttun varuval with roti canai.. and 1 coconut to cool your body and a nice cup of Limau Ice to quench your thirst.

We proceed to tiger prawning after that and i caught 1 kg for 4 hours and my sifu caught 1.8kg himself.. truly a sifu.. i salute him .. heheh..

Holiday .. Hmm..

I would like to go on a holiday with a group of friends.. to sit down .. chill and relax by the beach listening to the sounds of the waves.. Enjoying the sea breeze as i lay on the hammock.. (provided it don't give way) At the moment, i have a few destinations in mind..


Pulau Redang..

The island which i've been there about 3 years ago.. the experience is wonderful.. i would say that the group that you go with plays an important role about your holiday experience in the places.. i have a friend that does not like Fishing at all.. never tried fishing.. but after going on a boat with us for a short 1 hour fishing trip provided by the resort.. he asked us the next day.. hey when is the next time you going out fishing.. lets go.. hahah.. i think he got bitten by the fishing bug already ..

The fishes that we caught

This is one of the dive centre in Redang where you can obtain your diving license here

Look at the colour of the sea.. different shades of blue

I don't actually mind going to redang again.. as the experience is fun.. visiting the marine park.. feeding the fishes.. going fishing everyday after 2 nautical miles of the island.. go snorkling everyday just outside the resort.. (there is a shark reef here.. you can see some baby black tip sharks here too)

I'm open for any suggestions to some holiday.. but i don't mind all expense paid to these places

• Maldives
• Bora Bora Island
• Pulau Tioman
• Pulau Kapas
• Pulau Perhentian
• Pulau Pemanggil.

But there is another thing i would try as well.. its called Squid jigging. where by you get arrow Squids size ranging from 1 feet to 3 feet squids.. with the size of a coke bottle.. that's huge man

by the way.. Malaysia will be having its own International Squid Jigging 2days away

This is something i would try..
Hmm since its 2days away... i guess i don't have the time to go for this round.
