Phuket trip year 2008 Part I

First of all, I need to mention the photos that I'm going to post here will only be less than a quarter of the trip. Time don't allow me to upload that many, therefore those who're interested about my trip are most welcome to visit my Facebook. I've created a few albums and the majority of the photos will be upload on it.

I've been to Thailand Phuket Island as my summer holiday trip on last Saturday. 4 Days 3 Nights were not enough to explore the whole beautiful island, basically it's rather rush. Like what Quin said: "felt like triathlon!".

Love the scenery, culture, food and people here. I was over excited when I saw a herd of buffolloes, cows, elephants along the road. I can't remember when was the last time I saw them in real! Most of the people that we met were just too friendly. It really lead me to a pleasant stayed in Phuket. *Lovely*
I'll be definitely visit the island one day again with my family.

Alright, let's talk about my trip.


Before the flight~

DAY 1 DEPATURE FROM KUALA LUMPUR

Arrived at LCCT in the morning around 9:30am. The flight was at 12:45pm. We had our big breakfast at McD, hang around in the Airport to wait for the rest. All Marathon runners arrived around 11am, there was twelve of us in our group. We checked in at 12pm, and Air Asia did not delay this time.


At Laguna Beach Hotel.

It takes 1 hour 15 minutes to arrived at Phuket International Airport. We took a big shuttle Van to Laguna Beach Hotel. The runners need to register themselves at this hotel. After the registrations done, we waited for our hotel's car pool to pick us at 4:15pm. Some of them went for lunch at the Laguna Hotel Restaurant. Three of us stayed at the hotel lobby, me and Winn Er managed to take a short nap while waiting.

So love this antique fan.. beautiful isn't it..

Pretty decorations.. *love*

At Panta Villa, we've stayed here for the first night.

Our hotel located at Bang Tao, it's about 10-15 minutes from Laguna. I can't help fall in love once I stepped into this true Thai style cultural Villas!

At Panta Thai Villa Resort and Spa - The Legend of Thai Villas presents a true Thai style cultural retreat, encapsulated by meandering canals and located in the Historic and beautiful “ Thalang” district. Surrounded by true cultural farmlands, local villages, temples and markets. The only resort on the island that offers a stay in a replica of a traditional Thai village. It's everything truly Thai!

Love the Scenery around~

The Fish Cake.
The Restaurant that we have our first dinner in Phuket.

It's around 5pm after checked in. We took a shower before we went for dinner somewhere near Laguna Beach.

Quin, Winn Er and I went for swimming at our Villa's pool after the dinner at night. It's pretty chilling and quiet (There were only 3 of us in the entire pool) but I always enjoy the night swim, the pool side environment was absolutely beautiful. *Love*

With Quin~

We went to bed early as the next day was the Marathon. The earliest full marathon started at 4am! But for the 10 km run started at 6:30am, so we need to get up by 5am.
