Island Hopping Trip 13-17 Mar 09 Day 5

It is Day 5 of the trip.
We had ourselves enough for swimming & snorkeling on seas. We felt we should moving back on land for other activities. We wake up quite late & went out for breakfast @ 9 am. The Jan & Kan Sea Hotel staff told us there is a famous chicken rice nearby, so of course we went for a try.

We ordered chicken rice and “sha bi” – “tu ka”, “siao ba” & “cha siu”. The food, thumb up! That costs us 80baht per person, good price!
























After breakfast, we were heading to Beaches below Patong Beach --> Karon Beach & Kata Beach. Honestly, these beaches are more clean and beauty than Patong Beach. Just take a look at below photos and you will feel the same as me. Oh forgot to say, this whole day trip around Phuket Town costs us 100baht per person only.

Karon Beach




























Cool ha?














Kata Beach
































Then we were heading to the Karon View Point. Here we can see the Karon beach nice view from hill.






































































See the Big white Buddha, neh..on top of the hill…














OK, this group of people trying to pamper me so that their face can be snap into my camera. But I am not quite satisfy, see my face… ;-)














About noontime, we went to Big Buddha, we need to move up hill to reach there. The minibus driver took us safer than the one we had when on the way to Hatyai Kastam.
Here is some of the scene view that I took.

And then we came to Wat Chalong, the most historical temple in Phuket.






































































After the entire visit, it comes to lunchtime. Initially we see none except us that dine in this beachside restaurant, thought their dishes must be “so so nia”. But once we tried, we realize we can’t judge thing from the outside – as the food is really delicious! Especially the shrimp paste eat with raw vege, tom yam soup & squid is just suit our appetite, dunno is it we were hungry, hee…:-)





















































After the lunch, we ask driver to drive us to do either spa or massage during the way back to our Hotel. The driver must be thinking we are the luxury tourist, brought us to those high class body treatment center.
Later, we just gave up but to find the cheaper massage place by ourselves. And we found one after we clean up ourselves @ Hotel, that costs us 250baht for 1-hour full body massage. After the massage, we fill up our stomach at the roadside stalls. As you can see, we never miss out our favorite dish – Tom Yam soup…:-)






And we took a walk @ the Phuket night bar street but the weather is always wanna give us trouble as it became to rain. So we again run for shelter and we found this Hotel.
We then rest in it and we were so creative enough to take the cool & funny photos we ever had in the trip.
See for yourself…






























































Our Day 5 end with a walk through Phuket street to our Hotel.
