Our first trip together, to the land of a thousand smiles. We were prepared to be sun-burnt, but the weather wasn’t surprisingly hot. Also prepared to get fat, which we did. A memorable week for us, Christmas well spent in Thailand.
What we love: Jet-skiing, fresh mangoes and Koh-kae wasabi nuts.
What we don’t: Cold bath tubs and being forced to visit random gem stores.
What we think: ★★★★☆ (Maybe will be back).
Day 1: Hello Sunny Island
Phuket, Home to Thailand’s Best Beaches Our long awaited holiday is here! This is the first time we are on an overseas trip, hyped and excited over it! Phuket here we come! Minmin hasn’t really been to anywhere else except for her school’s Guangzhou trip. And it is my responsibility to take her for holidays…
Day 2: Sunny Beach and More Street Food
Patong Beach We’re going to the zoo, zoo, zoo, how about you, you, you? Just kidding we’re going to Patong Beach today! There is no reason not to go to the beach when in Phuket. Rise and shine, as early as we could and had breakfast at our resort. I must admit the food was…
Day 3: Tourist Attractions and Jet-skiing
A Trip Out to the Big Buddha Area Yesterday we purchased a City Sightseeing tour package that would bring us around to Big Buddha, Wat Chalong, and to check out the elephant rides. But before that, the first thing that made our day is the ride down our resort. Sets the adrenaline pumping yo! https://youtu.be/CL9OsQvYnXM…
Day 4: Phuket Town Area
Hello Chillva Market, Hello Naka Market Today’s plan is to shift to the next hotel in downtown Phuket, away from the beach area. Then go to two night markets: Chillva Market and Phuket Weekend Night Market Na Ka. But first, one last breakfast at IndoChine. We don’t seem to get sick of the breakfast though….
Day 5: Everything is Upside Down!
Morning Spent Chilling in Our Bath Tub The highlight for today will be Baan Teelanka – The Upside Down House of Phuket. Though the affair will be in the afternoon, we decided to get up early and not sleep the morning away. Breakfast was included in our stay, similarly a buffet style breakfast too just…
Day 6: Island Hopping, Phang Nga Bay
Off We Go to Phang Nga Bay It’s Christmas! Merry Christmas to our family and friends in Singapore! The adventure for today is the Phang Nga Bay longtail boat excursion. We’ve booked a tour online before coming to Phuket. Had to say, unfortunately the website we got our tour from doesn’t exist anymore. Do a…
Day 7: Our First of Many More Trips
