Phuket - Thailand

I went to Thailand on March 2010 with my Friend. At the first time we was confused to choose between Phuket or Bangkok. But since my Mate really..really love white sands beach then we decided to go to Phuket. We flew from Jakarta, it toked 3 hours to reach Phuket. The airport is quite small and nothing special, we booked hotel and also tour package online (u can left comment below if u need the tour vendor name). we got free transferred from Airport-Hotel-Airport provided by the tour vendor (really recommended this tour, since they're very friendly,on time and able to speak English) But don't worry you can find lots of taxi or car rent in the airport,but you need to bargain or you'll have to pay more expensive. we stayed at Millenium Hotel in Patong Area, This hotel has two wings (the distance between one wing to other quite far around 10 minutes walk or 5 min by shuttle tuktuk). We stayed in Beachside wings which is more modern and it's connected with Jungceylon shopping complex. I love this Hotel, it has great swimming pool, spacious room and also near bangla road (one of night entertainment spot).Breakfast are nice (even not so many difference from day to day) But you don't need to worry..you can find lots of foods in Phuket and it was all delicious for me (spicy for my friend who not used to eat spicy food) and the best thing is food were not pricey in phuket.

Places to go absolutely beach!!. Patong beach was so so for me. Bali is better..That's why we went to Phiphi island ("the beach" movie set) and Raya Rai island. Both has white sands beach, and clear water. But Phiphi island is extremely crowded. i can't even find a free space for me to lay down and got sunbath. so i just took some pics there and wait the tour bring me to other spot (i took 2 days tour, 1st day to phiphi and 2nd day to raya rai island). Raya rai is more quite and more remote but the sands are really soft..almost like powder. It's like heaven (almost like,except the sun that super duper hot) you should put lots of sunblock and prepare to get supper tanned here. Corals and fishes are beautifull u don't need to swim to the middle..u can easily see them from the beach. (i attached some pics here) oh some tips for you, please remember your boat number. Because lots of group coming to those beach and boats look similar.(i almost took wrong boat..LOL).

We rent a motorcycle for 35THB a day. It's more flexible so we can go anywhere we want. If u have lots of time u can go to Phuket fanta sea..it's like cabaret (if i'm not mistake) But since i'm not so interested with that kind of thing.. i prefer to have culinary trip. If u're a moslem (like me) u should ask whether they provide pork or not. Because most restaurant do provide pork, so be-careful. At night u can hang in Bangla Road it's a street with bars along the road. U can find dancers dance on the table (but not stripper) kinda give different experience which i can't find it in Indonesia. And If u wanna shop till drop..U can find good stuff everywhere in Phuket. I got bikinis in cheap price and it's good quality too. Overall.. Phuket is great destination for holiday..especially for honeymoon. :)


This is phiphi island (i'm not tagged me on it since i wear bikinis..to shame to publish my tummy ;p)


This is Raya rai, it's quite cloudy when i took this pic but 10 min after that,it turned into super shiny)


I Highly reccomend this place for honeymoon.. white sands beach and a person we love..what more excited than that?!.

xoxo..
