Phuket, Thailand - Day 1

So we are all packed and ready to take off to Phuket, Thailand. At the last minute we weren't sure weather to take public transport or drive to LCCT Airport. So as we were about to leave we were like why the heck go thru all the trouble so we just drove to Lcct Airport, we park at the free parking area in front of Tune Hotel. It was a bit of a walk to the terminal but wasn't all bad, despite the hot sun and uneven roads.
As soon as we arrive we headed to the information center to check on our flight status, just then my mom and brother had just arrived at LCCT Airport as well. So we checked in our luggage's as we had already done online check in the night before. Then we headed to have a quick lunch at ASIAN TASTE restaurant. Then we had to rush in for immigration and proceed to waiting area to board the plane. Everything went on so fast as we didn't have to wait in line or anything. So after boarding the plane and after took off we had to fill in entry form just as i finished we were gonna lend at Phuket, Thailand International Airport.
So as we arrived at the airport our driver from the hotel was waiting for us with a big sign, funny in away cause it took us back a funny memory when we were in Bali, Indonesia. Well that's is the past now back to here, so we were picked up in a VIOS and its was a 45 drive to the Hotel which is located at Patong Beach. We stay at 7Q Hotel which was located as Prabaramee Road, Patong Beach read more about this hotel under my hotel review section.
The whole drive to the Patong Beach area, we could see clearly all the cables just hanging about. According to our driver Phuket always have fire due to their arrangement of cables. Sometimes you can see sparks coming out of it.
As soon as we reached we checked in and headed up to our room, had a really needed shower and rest. After our rest we headed out for dinner, walked on the streets but we could not find any shops that interest our taste buds so we landed up eating in the hotel cafe which was on the roof top in front of the swimming pool facing the ocean.
          
After dinner we took a walk downstairs and visit the 7-11 there as we know it was so different then the one in Malaysia. Here are somethings I found that we don't have in Malaysia.
I must say Phuket on the 1st day looking good.
