Phuket, Thailand - Day 2

Waking up in Phuket, BTW Phuket is 1 hour behind Malaysia time so it was weird waking at 7 am and seeing the sky so bright and shinning. We had an early start, ate breakfast at the hotel.

     

After breakfast we headed straight for the beach. Strolled the beach with hubby, found and caught many things by the beach. 1st we saw a blue color jelly fish, it looked like a bottle cap with blue treads hanging. Then a bit more into the walk we saw a fish swimming by the shore, I can proudly say I caught a fish with my bare hands. Then a bit more of the walk I caught a crab and all this I have pictures to prove it.  

        

                                         

After the stroll we decided its time to play a prank on my brother, we told him we had paid for the paragliding activity. Knowing he is a afraid of heights but so proud of him that he manage to over come and enjoy it. Then after all this we got wet, so were trying to fight with the waves and screaming and really enjoying every moment under the sun knowing we were getting burn. Wouldn't mean much if we were on an island and not be sun burn, after all the madness we headed back to the hotel, showered and going thru all the brochures trying to figure out what to do for tomorrow. The prices in the brochures are way more expensive then walking into any tour booths around Phuket area.

Since we could not find anything in the broucher, Hubby and I decided to go roam around on a scooter knowing mum and bro wanted to get a nap. Riding around in a scooter in Phuket is awesome, you guys should try it. The rental is 200 baht per day, sometimes you will get the scooter with a full tank or empty one. If empty you need to buy gas which is 40 bath per bottle which you will need at least 4 bottles for a full tank. One full tank can last you 2days as Patong Beach area is not as big as the map looks.

   

            

We riding around and decided to stop to get some shopping done, there are many stores all around you can literary go flat broke in a minute. Well we bought some shades and a hat, then we went hunting for halal restaurant as we were not to sure if the hotel food is halal or not. Well we found one and the food is yummylious plus they have a varieties to choose from. We had one heavy lunch so we decided to burn out off by shopping and ridding around.

          

Then we stopped by Starbucks and bought mummy a cake as it was her birthday and the whole reason this trip. But sadly she preferred to spend her time in the hotel room all the while.

                        

Anyways, then we headed back to the hotel had showered and headed to have our to dinner at Ghadaffi, which is a halal and well know restaurant. We rode in a TUK-TUK which is like a small lorry converted into a pimped out car. We had fish, prawns, Tom Yam, vegetable and local salad, see the pictures as per below.

          

 

       

After dinner we took mum out to Bangla Road, to do some shopping and look around. After that we took TUK-TUK back to our hotel. Once we dropped off mum and bro, hubby and I went out again on our scooter and sight seeing and took cool picture. NO shopping done.
