honeymoon getaway: episode 1 part 2 (Phuket-Phang Nga Bay)

hola2....got a little bz lately & went back to my hometown last week to break fast with my parents...so, part 2 is here...

day 3...today we got up a bit early as we are going on a tour to Phang Nga Bay...after breakfast, we waited at the lobby at 8 am and our pickup van came, we then continued to the assembly point to Phang Nga bay....can't remember the name of the place....we cruised the bay of Phang Nga on a speed boat....damn it was fast....we visited a few islands, the Dog Island (an island where u can see a stone with a dog look on top of the hill), James Bond Island (i guess one of the 007 movie was filmed there), we then went for a canoe ride which was quite fun....my wife really enjoyed it...after that we went to KohPanYee or PanYee Island...it's actually a Muslim village built on top of water....kind of like a water village....our lunch was at Koh Phan Yee...no worries to eat here as it is a muslim village...after lunch, all aboard...we then head to an island where those who wants to take a dip into the sea can go on, for those not interested including me, we juz relaxed on the beach....nothing special or interesting here....the water isn't that intriguing plus i wasn't well prepared to take a dip into the sea....after about an hour, it's time to head back to phuket....the tour was fun, exciting & worth the penny...it was quite cheap though... :P off back to the hotel....

arrived at the hotel, took our bath and off we went down to the spa to get ourselves pampered...the package included spa as well, so we used it...unfortunately a booking is needed and the next session will be at 8.30....so went out for a walk at Patong, withdraw some money and looked for the rest of souveniers that we need find....about 8.15 we head back to the hotel and in no time our spa session started....the session was for an hour and it was very soothing...after a whole day on a boat, the spa really rejuvenates my body...nothing beats a relaxing spa after an outing for the whole day...after the spa, it's time to fill up our empty stomach...man we're really starved....we had our late diner at Savoey Sea Food Restaurant...menu for the nite was lobster, tiger prawn, squids & a couple of vege dishes....it was the best seafood we've tasted so far....2,622.00 thai baht for the dishes, about RM260....not bad yet satisfying....there was also a live band performing (not really a band, a duo performing)....it was a really good diner....after diner, we took a nite walk around Patong, seems like most of the shops & restaurant are closed, except for the bars, discos & night clubs....and they were really happening...nice view too... :P before going back to our hotel, we went to Hard Rock Cafe to have a drink while enjoying the live band...after about half an hour, we head back to the hotel to wrap up for the day....

day 4...time to head back to kl...how i wish we could stay there longer....so much more to do....so much more to see...so many other places to visit....the place & people are nice too...after breakfast, we head to the lobby to checkout and our ride was already there waiting to send us to the airport....we arrived at phuket air port however our flight was delayed...we reached LCCT at about 4.30 pm....overall, we were very satisfied with our honeymoon trip...phuket was fun & interesting....we'll definitely make a 2nd trip to phuket....



We'll be back Phuket
