Patong Resort Hotel lobby. From the looks of it, do u tink its a 3 star hotel? No rite? So never judge a hotel just by its name. Catergorise as a 3 star resort, but given the convenient location, the clean & neat rooms, the high class restuarants serving international cusines, whats more u looking for. Patong Beach merely a 5 mins walk & Patong Town, just behind the hotel.
Streets of Patong Beach area by day. Empty, quiet, uncrowded. But by night, its different. The streets come alive with jazz music, disco, rock & roll. Every where, the pubs, bars & grills, discotheques, restauarants are all crowded with people. Bangla Road, the most "noisiest" street in Patong. Closed to traffic in the evening, packed with people, both locals & foreigners. Mummy dare not take fotos of the street cos the "tranversites" (Ah Quahs) are everywhere. In Thailand, they are called Ladyboys. Wait u take foto & they thot u are taking picts of them, they will come & demand tipping from u.
FantaSea - "Exalt The Myth", "Explore The Mystery", "Experience The Magic".
Award-winning Las Vegas Production colourfully blending the beauty of Thai culture with magical illusions & 4-D effects. " Miss FantaSea & You Will Miss Phuket" Mummy cannot take fotos of the show as no camera & video cam corder allowed. They even request u to deposit ur cameras at the counter but of cos, mummy did nt la. Why risked having ur camera stolen? Who knows rite? Just dun take out the camera can liao lor.
View of Phi Phi Island. The boat ride to the island was bumpy but fun, according to Mummy. Each time the boat bump against the waves, u will literally spring up from ur seat & back down again. But not suitable for pregnant ladies & those with back problems. The ride from Chalong Bay takes about 45mins to 1hr on good weather conditions. The guide told us that if it was last week, all trips to Phi Phi Island had to be cancelled due to very bad weather conditions - heavy thunderstorm.
Monkey Feeding on Monkey Beach. Quite fierce if you try to touch them, especially those with the babies clinging onto the mothers. Some innocent children tried to touch the monkeys & were of course ended up being chased by the monkeys, hissing away. The children, of course, ran away, crying.
Man deep in thoughts. Daddy preparing himself b4 the dive. Hahaha! Actually not la. Daddy just came up from the waters & resting. Very "chuan"! (breathless)
Elephant Camp. Luckily the elephants did not raise their trunks & kissed mummy as did one elephant to a tourist. Haha. She screamed like mad. After she realised wat happen, she laughed at her silliness.
River Rafting Expenditure. The first 2 people, each on the left & right were mummy & daddy. 4 passengers to each raft with 2 guides, 1 in front & 1 at the back. They are the ones, managing the twist & turns while rafting against the river currents. And being playful, they purposely haul u against the currents, knock u against the rocks, pushing against one another & splashing water on one another,therefore giving the rafting even more excitement & fun & double fun. Mummy screamed all the way. Hahaha! Sounds shiok! Wish i could do river rafting as well. There were a total of 8 rafts out on the river so u can imagine the fun fun fun......
