Day 2 in Phuket

Day 2 in Phuket and it was sight seeing day (: SOOO MUCH FUN (and dirt too!), but nonetheless, it was a memorable experience. My parents took us on a day's trip to James Bond Island, we stopped by 9 stops before reaching James Bond Island and boy, it was so warm and humid. Thank goodness for the wind we caught while speeding on the boat, makes us sleeepyyyy /:

The day started off with a wonderful breakfast buffet at the Marriott Hotel. Seriously their waffles and crepes are like <3333

Just look at the greedy pig!

 Then off we went on a cruise to James Bond Island (: Lent my sister my Lomo... think she looks cute with it! teeheehee (:

 First stop was a swim stop at a beach! Cant really remember the names /: Just don't have a memory for names okay!

<3333

 

After which, it was canoeing, part of an eco-tourism effort at Phuket. This is probably the MIGHTY FUN PART OF THE DAY! the breeze and scenery was so awesome (:

 Dad looks like he's about to fall asleep with all that breezeeee (:

 Mum and sis under a limestone rock. SO GEOGGY, I LIKE!

  and then we reached this beach among the limestone caves to take a photo! AND THAT'S WHEN MY CAMERA DIED ):well, after which, we took some photos at James Bond Island and we went back. MEGA TIRED BUT MEGA FUN! (:

Day 1 in Phuket

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 (:
