Destination 1 - Phuket, Thailand (Part 1)

Travel Date : 8th - 11th Aug 2011

How to get Phuket??
Air Asia Flight always is my 1st choice. It's cheap!! I booked the tix 1 year ago on Air Asia Zero Fare.. I only need to pay for airport tax which is RM204, 2 way for 2 pax. very cheap!!


Where to Stay in Phuket??
1st time travelling to Phuket, i chose to stay at Patong Beach!! From airport to Patong is around 45min drive. Patong is the most happening place in Phuket. There are about hundreds of hotels & resorts in Patong. Rate from (RM20 - RM2000 per night) it's depends on your taste.. :) in Patong, more than 75% people are foreigner.. many sexy gals & hot guys!! ^^

Hotel i stayed call Duang Jitt Resort & Spa. It's a very huge Hotel. we need bell man send us from lobby to our room  by mini golf car.. it took about 2min drive.. ><
I booked a standard superior room, but it was free upgrade to deluxe room.. happy.. ^^
4 days 3 nights stay here with cost RM576 (2 pax) included 2 ways airport transfer, and free a Phuket city half day tour.  We booked this hotel in Matta Fare.. cheap cheap!! :)

If you have no free time go for Matta fair, here is some link for you to book your hotel online.

What to do in Phuket??
There are many types of tours for you to choose, include adventure tour, sight seeing tour, snorkeling and many types of show.
For this time i chose Phuket Fantasea Show, Hong by Starlight, Elephant Riding & ATV. Pls forget about the free phuket half day tour.. as the tour guide just brought us to visit some local factories, and it make me felt like they forced us to buy their product.. and the tour guide lay on us, he said the place that he brought us to visit was the cheapest product, anywhere else cant get this lower price. But at the last we found out everywhere also can get even cheaper product.. What a poor tour guide!! poor service!!
Wat Chalong Temple is one of the destination phuket half day tour.

Never mind, just forget about this.. Lets talk about the tours that i booked online.. :)

1. Phuket Fantasea Show
Price : 1900 Baht per pax (~RM190)
this price included 2 ways hotel transfer, buffet dining at Golden Kinnaree Buffet Restaurant & a gold seat of the show. (Local people can get half price.. huhu)

Phuket Fantasea is a cultural theme park located at Kamala Beach, operating hours from 6pm to midnight daily. Theme park is divided into 3 sections : Festival village (Shopping), Golden Kinnaree Buffet Restaurant (dining) & Palace of the Elephant (Vegas-style entertainment show) For me Festival village just like a mini fun fare, suitable for kids, there are many mini games to play and win a doll.. i dint try it as i feel old already.. :p

i'm happy we can get Halal food in Golden Kinnaree Buffet Restaurant, even though Thailand is a buddhist  country, but it's not hard to find Halal food in Phuket.. a lot of local people are Muslim too.. :)

Phuket Fantasea Show, what a nice show i never see before in my life.. the show presented the cultural of Kamala, it's very impressive me.. more than 20 elephants on the stage, even chicken also can perform well!! wow.. what a cute animal.. hahahaha XD.. all the performers around the audience seats.. they perform around us, top, left, right & front.. very fast changing stage back drop, water, fire, big tree, fireworks all included..
but one thing bad, no camera allowed!!!  so..i have no video to show.. T_T

How to get this show?? this is the link i found out the cheapest one after a year research.. please note that the price state on this webpage is not the final deal, we may get even cheaper after u received a booking confirmation letter in your email given.. Please let me know if you get cheaper than this.. :p
