PHUKET MEIN JANE KA !



Phuket tho pahunch gayeee lekin phuket mei naheen !!!! had to spend a few thousand bahts but it was definately value for money !

I Reached Phuket at 09:30 in the morning.. All I had with me was my backpack , lotsaa energy and excitement !!!!


I took a cab to patong from the airport and checked in Eden bungalows . Decent place with a sexy location.. I got myself a bike and set galivanting !

Along the coast road between Kata Beach and Nai Harn Beach is situated a vantage point where you can enjoy the spectacular view - ..... From this vantage point you can see three of Phuket’s prettiest bays, Kata Noi, Kata Yai, and Karon Beach. Its georgeous !After admiring the spectacular view it ws time for some action .So i decided to indulge in some street food tasting !

Went back to my room after all the obscene indulgence .Relaxed a bit and took off to Patong beach . The sunset at Patong was mind blowing ! Patong is one of the most crowded beaches of Phuket .Also it was the most effected by the Tsunami...
After watchin the sun go down , it was time to hit Bangla street to check out Phuket s notorious Night life .. Some nice waterholes and restaurants there .

Next day

I was up by 6 am . All set to go to PHI PHI islands...I left for rassada jetty to catch ferry to go to phi phi ....The ferry ride was interesting .. Made a few freinds - thais and koreans ....We halted for some time at phi phi leh and then took off to maya bay... Maya Bay - You have 2 options - either watch the emerald green waters of the bay change to shades of blue and indigo as they pass over the coral reefs. -or the option that i opted for - went snorkelling to see the corals ... man !!gotta go thre to experience it ...lots of food too on board so i was happy !! As we pulled up into the bay( phi phi don ), it was unsurprising to see that i was not the only tourist here ------- hmmmm was imagining (the movie beach - damnnn leo was missing !!!!!!) SIGHHHH . . The water was clear turqoise and warm ..... What was slightly disconcertin was the mess around the island.I mean all the construction to revive the island back to how it was pre tsunami.....

FROM THE PHOOODIES DESK

Food at the restaurant which was part of the trip was goood. - sea food especially -the kungs, the tom yums and the red and green currys can keep me going for ever ....


It was time to pack bags and board Air asia back to BKK... 11 in the night - i was exhausted,a few shades darker and had lots memories to take back .....
