I am always in love with island trip. But don't know why.... Only Phuket, I phobia.... Phobia because of tsunami.... Dreamt of it before... You can say that I am thinking nonsense here... But, still... I am scare.. Yet, I love island trip... ^^"
So, when Mr Dunhill Red told me that he decided for us a Phuket trip.. I was having mixed feeling... Thinking that should I say yes or no.... However, Mr Dunhill Red said that I was thinking too much after told him everything. So, this trip was just "on" like this...
It was the second time for us to travel there.... But first time for us to be there together.... (That was the reason of Mr Dunhill Red wanted to go there with me since he claimed that never be there with me together before) 6 years already.... It has been 6 years since my last visit... The last visit was with my family... So, I can't recall much thing about that place. Only remember the lovely islands hopping trip... The beautiful sea in turquoise color... And of course, the Bangla street where I drunk once at there before :p
ACCOMMODATION
Everytimes when I am planning on the accommodation for a trip, it has always be my habit of need to do a lot of research.. Read the reviews from different websites (blog, agoda, tripadvisor.... ), check and compare the rate, even call the hotel up and ask for crew rate and etc... I am stingy a little bit. So, the hotel must be nice and cheap. If can offer me everything with the cheapest rate, that's the best! hahaha...
As for this trip, I chose Holiday Inn Express Phuket Patong Beach Central..... As I compared among few hotels, I think this hotel offer the best value. With the cheapest rate (around RM200 per night after tax), I can get a nice cozy room, a good breakfast with take-away service (love the self service coffee machine so much! just like starbuck.. can take away) and most importantly... It was just newly open for few months only... Apart from this, free wifi, nice swimming pool and close to the beach... What else to complain with the price we paid huh ;)
Nice room, nice pool and nice coffee machine!

They even offer a soft and firm pillow to choose
Breakfast area
When we were there, we woke up 6am in the morning... Never failed... Just to have our breakfast... Then after breakfast, for sure I allowed myself to dip in the pool for at least 30mins. That was the best time to swim cause the whole pool will be just me alone. And it will be all mine!!!!!! Wahahahaha!! Love it so much~
TRANSPORTATION
Of course, we flew there with Malaysia Airlines due to we can get a crew discount rate to fly. And yes.. It's our entitlement to enjoy the benefit to the max.... So, this time we flew glamorous a bit.... :p
Business Class
As usual, got our favorite seats in business class (4C and 4D)... Always love the last row seats before the divider due to I can recline the seat anytime without worrying about safety reason or people who sit behind us.

Flight that bound for Phuket from Kuala Lumpur took 1hours and 15mins. After reached the airport, we can either choose to take taxi or shuttle bus to the hotel. Of course, the price for private taxi will be much more expensive. Please take note that the taxi there don't run meter ya... So, we chose shuttle bus since we were not in a rush.. Then, why should we waste more money for the taxi, right? ^^ But only downside for taking the shuttle bus is.. they will stop you at a travel agency shop there to introduce all the travel package. From there, you will be needed to wait around 30mins. For this trip, we did not sign up for any package since we just wanted to relax and enjoy our food and beer.... and food and beer.... and FOOD and BEER!!!
FOOD AND BEER!
So, visit Thailand... Of course must eat my all time favorite - Thai Food, Tom Yam! And drink his all time favorite - cheap beer!!!! For this 4days 3nights, food is always thai food, thai food and thai seafood... And Drink is always beer, beer and cheap beer..... Every of our meal never miss the tom yam and beer.. Haha!
Allow me to present you the same tom yam but from different shop that I've visited.... :p
Seafood in Phuket is consider quite cheap. Eventually, we found out that there was a shop at the back of our hotel was actually not bad. So, the last 2 days basically we just had all of our meals there. Nice seafood that we can get to bargain before we dine in. It was really contributed a lot to our cholesterol ^^"
Lastly, how can we miss the local dessert....
Slrrrrp~ Miss this pancake so much~ Why I can only find it in Thailand >.<
SIGHTSEEING
As we didn't join any island hopping trip, so we just past our days by walking at the seaside, relaxing, and chit chatting... It has always be our way of communicating and keep our relationship "fresh" as newly in love couple :p
Spotted this shop while walking at the seaside.... Very nice decorated shop but I didn't dine at here.... Anyway, it is a nice shop to chill out and watch the sunset..
Watched the sunset together with Mr Dunhill Red after had our dinner at the seaside...
How could I miss Bangla Road when I was in Phuket ya~ It is still as crowded as 6years ago... ^^"
It is a real person, just like the red light district in Amsterdam..
Thailand is always one of my favorite countries... Ever since I know Mr Dunhill Red, I realized that we always visit one place in Thailand each year. First year, Bangkok; Second year, Koh Samui; And now third year, Phuket... How about next year? Need to think about it first....... ^^
