Coral

Got my nails done today and it's currently in one of my favourite colours. Coral! I'm a warm skin tone. Hence this colour very much complements me. Also, brought my JC Play sneakers out today during dinner. The feeling of donning on a new pair of shoes is... awesome. Especially to a shoe-holic like yours truly.

Phuket Tales; Day 3-4

Holla, I'm back!


So Day 3 and 4 was pretty much spent slacking at hotel, exploring beaches, looking for swimwears and just soaking up the last bits of the ocean. I'd wandered to Kata beach and Karon beach! Personally I prefer Karon beach. Check out the photos above!

Also, I managed to score 6 pairs of new bikinis! Thanks to various blogs resources, I found out that the usual price the vendors retail them for is at 390baht. And with good haggling skills, you can actually get them at 250baht! However I got some unique designs(like duo twirl strings/photo above) hence I paid 300baht each for the ones I got. Frankly speaking, S$12 for a set of bikini is not much. So yay! Anyway for own references, you can get towels for 200baht.

They will quote you a high price for EVERYTHING. So I've learned to be shameless. Most of the time I'll just bargain for 50-60% of the price and slowly work my way up. Lol. It works!

In conclusion:
Bikinis 250-300baht
Beach Lounge Seats 100baht
Towels/Scarfs 200baht
Massage 300baht


At Phuket Airport, there is a wide range of fast foods like Subway and whatnot. But once you checked in, it is crazy. There is only overpriced food and the boarding area looks like some dodgy place! Hello, burgers cost 400baht?!(S$16) drinks 75baht?!(S$3) I call it daylight robbery in Phuket. And the stalls are like some random stalls. No name brands. So for your own sake. Go to the airport slightly earlier. Have some food before checking in or have them takeaway.


I have so many people asking me about the islands and my camera for this trip! Super glad to have went and explore this little part of the country.

The Similan Islands

DAY TWO

PHOTO DIARY

Booked Similan Islands Snorkeling from godivephuket.com for (2,800baht/S$112)
I've checked the cheapest tour is 2,200baht from Mr Mark Tours but I don't have much info about them hence I booked from GoDivePhuket. The price is less than the average price quotes!


The Similan Islands itinerary was eventually carry out by Ruk Talay Tours, not too shabby actually.
There's about 30 pax on-board.
6am-8.30pm, seriously no joke.
I'm exhausted by the end of the day.
Please remember to bring the following everytime you are out to the sea.
_

Waterproof mat - Trust me, you wouldn't want a towel mat that is soaked in salt water and sand. Been there done that, regretted the hell out of that.
Towel - To keep dry onboard.
Hat - It might get too sunny for your liking.
Shades - The wind hitting your face as the speedboat races to the islands is an issue.
Huge bottle of water - For washing up onboard and hydration.
Huge scarf - To wrap yourself if you're seated at the open area of the boat.
Waterproof bag -  No brainer why.

So we went to 2 beaches and 2 snorkelling spots. The best beach in my opinion is Honeymoon Bay at Island No. 4. At the end of the beach lies fine sands and out-of-this-world super clear waters. (photos as above)

The best snorkelling spot? Island No. 7/ Sea Turtle Spot (if I remember correctly). It's filled with many fishes and best part, you don't have to feed them to spot them. They are EVERYWHERE. And if you follow me on instagram you would have knew I saw a sea turtle! #mindblown I never thought I'll encounter one during snorkelling. Amazing, breath-taking experience.
