Phuket - Patong Beach and Bangla road

The time we arrived at the hotel, we were welcomed by the enthusiastic staff there. It took around 15 minutes to settle all the formalities, then we brought our luggage to our room...

Wow!! Not bad, the room is quite big and toilet is very clean too but unfortunately i can't remember the hotel's name. There is also an outdoor swimming pool in the hotel.....

This was the view from our hotel's balcony, all could see only the houses and buildings as this hotel is located at a higher area.

Then we headed to Patong beach. To go to Patong beach, there is free shuttle service from hotel to the beach every 15-20 minutes so you can just wait at the hotel lobby for the van's arrival.

Then we ordered some drinks to enjoy the nice sea view and refreshing sea breeze. There were many tourists especially 'ang moh' were sunbathing under such a hot weather.....For me, almost melting... :P

You can also have a Thai massage near the beach..

After that, we strolled around the town area, Bangla road. Besides the shops, there are many bars and disco along the road and during night time, here is crowded with people, the sexy bargirls will try to get guys to have a drink at their bars. You can even pay to the bargirl for one day escort tour or even more special request. The nightlife here is really wonderful for man who are trying to seek fun over here. So girls, remember to pay more attention to your bf when they come here alone!! :P

Here below is one of the bars during daytime but the view was blocked by the wires..

This is how the bars look like at night, very wild, noisy, and full of funs...

Besides bar, there are also a lot of shops along Bangla road selling souvenirs, clothes, Thai artwork and providing also tattoo and Thai massage service. Don't forget to try the Thai massage when you are here..

After wandering around until 5pm, we went back to our hotel preparing to go for the Fantasea show at night....

Phuket - Camp Chang Kalim 普吉岛之旅part1

Few days ago, a friend asked me about Phuket travel in Thailand and this made me to recall my free and easy  Phuket trip in year of 2009, hence came out with this post. Luckily i'm still able to download my photos from facebook else it may take some time to drag them out.... :P

Phuket is indeed a nice and beautiful island that one must go especially for those beach lovers. I visited there for three days and honestly i felt the days passed so fast, there were still lots of beautiful things that i had no chance to explore....

On our arrival day, the driver brought us to have a visit at Camp Chang Kalim as we couldn't check-in the hotel very early in the morning.

Camp Chang Kalim

As we walked down, we could even hear the clear singing of birds, indeed a very pleasant morning. After passing by a well-maintained small garden, we came to the elephant feeding area. This is baby elepahant 'peemai' and his mother, very cute right?

We also bought some bananas to feed them, once they found their favorite food, immediately they would go near to you and in seconds your banana already grabbed by their trunks. So remember to action fast to capture the picture and sometimes have to fight with them also. Haha.....here was the memorable moment..

feed with banana

In Thailand, elephants are always a symbol of power and peace hence they are an important part of the Thai culture. Besides feeding the elephants, you can also experience elephants trekking in the jungle. I couldn't remember how much it cost but was quite expensive, that's why we didn't take the package. 

So we went to the garden to take some pictures..

The garden was not very big but planted with beautiful flowers and was well taken care by the gardeners. There were also few special huts for visitors to rest under the shade.

Then, something interesting caught our attention, that's a signboard... 'If our mahout ask for tip or impolite to you pls suddenly contact here'...haha,...very funny sentence.. :P

For those who are interested on adventurous game, you may try ATV adventure here also....

After having our lunch, we headed to our  hotel...

第一次打snooker ^^

从没打过snooker的我，第一次打竟然没包尾，哈哈。。。还不赖嘛！！^^

其实本来的计划是要看电影的但是新加坡的戏院总是爆满只好改变计划所以就去打snooker..

snooker

打snooker很讲究手势哦，cue也要握得稳不然球不会随着你想要的方向滑去。这是新的尝试，感觉还蛮好玩的。

这是我帮大家拍下打球时的英姿，自己的pose太丑了所以都不敢po出来。。 :P

丰盛的一餐：川味菜馆

出门走走逛逛难免这吃吃那吃吃，最常吃的就是日本餐，西餐，快餐但是很少会连想到中餐因为总觉得跟平时吃的没什么两样。可是上个星期六中国同事，惠惠就请我们吃了一顿非常丰富的中餐，真是让我流连忘返。

我们来到的是位于牛车水的一间小食馆—— 川味菜馆，享受美味的四川菜肴。。

川味菜馆

我们五个人就点了十道菜，真的吃到快胀死了，你们可别看了流口水哦！！^^

干杯

第一道是我的最爱的青椒土豆丝。。。从没想过马铃薯可以当成菜炒，味道超棒的。

尖椒回锅肉

接下来就是水煮鱼片，辣辣的，里头还加了冬粉，味道不错。

还有炝拌莲藕，这道我也很喜欢因为莲藕吃起来脆脆的。在本地通常莲藕都拿来煮汤，鲜少看到这样的煮法，有空的话我也想尝试煮煮看，真是太好吃了！！

跟着就是白白嫩嫩的皮蛋豆腐，这道豆腐还不错可是觉得汤汁蛮油腻的因为有好多辣椒油。

在享受佳肴的当儿当然也少不了美酒啦，所以就叫了两瓶酒。一瓶是中国有名的青岛啤酒，另一瓶是哈尔滨的。。结论是青岛的啤酒比较好喝相对的也比较贵咯。

青岛+哈尔滨啤酒

干杯

喝个痛快吧！！

接着第八道菜是毛肚XX, 忘记名字了--就是牛的胃，超恶心的所以我都不敢吃。 =.=

毛肚XX

虾仁炒蛋

当然也少不了汤啦，我们点了酸辣汤，这是汉的最爱，酸酸辣辣的。。

没想到的是我们竟然花了将近两个小时吃这顿饭，肚子真是胀得好有满足感。哈哈！！

谢谢惠惠热情的招待 :)
