2 days in Phuket now, and i have this really horrible bite on my foot. The sore is so huge, it could possibly cover my entire right foot, minus the toes part. EWWW. well, aside from the mozzies, everything has been pretty great. Awesome hotel, nice food, beautiful scenery... (:
This time, Mumsy booked a really nice 2 bedroom-2 bathroom hotel (: Its the Marriott Vacation Club, Mai Khao Beach (JW Marriott). Check it out!
The compound is pretty big, so the Marriott Hotel kindly offered their residents a shuttle bus to get from point A to point B. While the distance is still pretty walkable, we decided to hop onto the shuttle bus since it was right before us!
Here's a picture of the shuttle bus.
We alighted at the Turtle Village (one stop away from our hotel) and there was a Swensons! Nice! Besides, they have a Supermarket, some retail stores and some pubs around. OH OH. They have an Esprit factory outlet too (:
We went into the Supermarket called Turtle Mart to get some daily necessities. But boy, the items there are not cheap! Its almost Singapore pricing. Talk about tourist spot!
And here, they have the Thai version of Vitagen, its called Betagen (: haha, funny though because it tastes more like Yakult. But nevertheless, it was yummy. And oh, the biggest bottle you see here is a 420ml bottle. Imagine drinking 420ml of Betagen at one go...
At night, we proceeded to watch the highly acclaimed Phuket Fantasea show. They have some displays before going in. Some of their lightings can get rather distasteful, but others are pretty (:
Here are just some other pictures of the compound (:
And, they have this MUST VISIT attraction within the Fantasea "theme park", its where they hold white tigers etc etc. While I personally feel its extremely cruel to isolate animals like that... I must admit that they do display pretty different animals, like pelicans.
So sorry if the pictures look blur/ fuzzy. My camera isn't good enough to capture sharp images in the dark ): That's all for Day 1 (:
