indulge in phuket - part 1

went to phuket over the weekend with my boyfriend and came back last night with a nice tan. it was great fun!!! i love the sun, the sea, and the sand.. it rained a little on sat night, but other than that, the weather had been kind to us. lots of sunshine, so much so that it's almost unbearably uncomfortable walking on the streets in the afternoon. we spent most of the time in the water - be it the sea or the lovely hotel pool.

DAY 1

arriving at our hotel, banthai which is located at a stone's throw from patong beach, the most popular and happening beach in phuket. the hotel is nice, quiet, but still within close proximity to the beach and restaurants. i like, and would recommend it to other people who are visiting phuket.

the beach in the evening..how peaceful

jet skiing

soaking wet after jet skiing. boyfriend did a sharp turn and caused both of us to be flung into the sea! butt still hurts from the fall.

simple dinner of green curry and some seafood

at bangla road, where we did some cheap shopping and where all the sleazy pubs/bars were located

many, many, many, many ah guas/she-men along the street

DAY 2

on the yacht to phi phi island.

aftermath of snorkelling. we literally swam with the schools of fishes!
on phi phi island for a short while to look see look see

what's more apt than to drink coconut juice on a beach holiday?

ending off day 2 with a huge seafood dinner that cost us quite a bit, but the ambiance of the place was good so we decided to indulge.
