Phuket Day 1- Checking In Patong



Our flight (tigerairways) was slightly delayed cos of system break down. *boo!* but thank goodness we were early, so we din have to wait very long at the queue.



Bored queuing, we started taking photos of ourselves! *smilezz*




Our first meal at one of the guesthouse's restaurants (actually q ex after we walked ard the area after our dinner/supper) Not at the one where we're staying but thank goodness our room was at this quiet alley, away from the hustle of Patong. But still within walking distance to the main center and the beach) We stayed at Casa Jip Guesthouse for the rest of our nights in Phuket (except the last night), made the booking on sawadee.com after reading the reviews posted. The room was relatively clean but the bed din have support for the back, so I ended up with some backaches sleeping! *boo!*

Oh and to get to the guesthouse, we took a minivan from the airport which costs us 150Baht/person. It was a shared minivan, so was cheaper den taking a cab. But before they brought us to our destination @ Patong, the van brought us to this tour agent first. The guide there did some 'selling'of several packages. The "James Bond Island" tour/ Phang-Nga Bay tour was going at 4700 Baht for 2 person and the person claimed dat it is already a special discount. Thou interested, I was glad dat we din take the package! They were out to earn extras! *boo-boo* (We later got the package at 2800 baht at Patong.)

We spent the rest of the night walking ard Patong and "appreciating" the nightlife of Patong.





We decided to stop by 7-11 before heading back to our guesthouse, stocking up on our "mini-bar".



My boy looking thru the variety of milk products they offer in their store!
