Phuket P2

To all my readers, here is my P2 of my trip to Phuket. I'm sorry i will not able to finished it, i just published until where i stop writting. Will continue new chapter. Life is getting challenging.

We came back to hotel in a late night after dinner. As it's 5 stars hotel, the lobby will be running 24hrs. We took the buggy back to our room, the scenery of the hotel in the night are spectacular. The lighting for the surrounding environment are so great and it's absorb you to have a slow walk to your room in those environment, where crickets and frogs singing all around the area. 

I have found a real place to let go my mind, forget the past and live on. Welcome to The Westin Siray Bay Resort & Spa Phuket.

The hotel scenery is so nice. Heading down to Seasonal Taste for breakfast

The breakfast wise for me is great although not much choices. Why do you want so many choices instead all delicious food right?

Guess how many round we go around haha

After filling the empty stomach is time to search for adventures. In mean while there is a place for you to hangout surf net, do some reading and have some snack. They call it Daily Treats.

Phuket P1

It's written that I having a holiday during that weekend, to leave the this sad places for a voyage across the sea to a place where there is only fun and life to live on. Non the rest, still the sea have clam us down and the view of the sunset have set us aside.

This trip is not planed, everything comes and go as it. Life goes on and things pass by in a glimps. Some times, it is better we don't plan and expect whats coming on next, thats the enjoyment that catch your breath away and surprise you in the way life do. As a saying 'What happen in Phuket, stay at Phuket'.

We knew those islands escape doesn't last long and it wont let everything go aside, we chosen to stay at the hotel and eat what is the last.

The trip began in 4th May 2013 early in the morning the first flight to Phuket island. Time 0720 flight.
Its was a beautiful day, the luminous sky below show off it's character under the warm sun lights. From here begin I shall begin the story with the photos taken from my epic journey.

 The view out from the pax window.

Landing soon. Islands around look very clear and nice in the morning.

This is what mother nature look like.

After landing in Phuket, I was amazed that we do not need to walk in open air to the terminal instead the skybridge is there. We arrived to the arrival hall and we found a telco promoting cheap call rate back to China. I went to look around for broadband service but they only sell call and sms so we move on to the exits. 

Two weeks before the trip, we are searching for car to rent during our holiday. We found out there are jeeps to rent and is open air from Andaman Car Rent which will cost 1100THB/day. We placed a reservation on the jeep but sadly it was not available so we decided to rent a car during our arrival at the airport. One day before the trip, we received an email from Andaman Car Rent saying that they will provide us a new Honda City with 3 days rate of a total of 3600THB and we decided to take it.

Don't be shocked when you saw their banner ads is damn huge. In town is even more huge! 

The map we grab in the airport. Its not really helpful. Haha 

Since we do not have data connection to phone, that mean no navigation around other than the map. And we forget to bring the location of restaurant to go so we end up running inside Phuket town. Thats was around 9.30am and we are very hungry, so we decided to stop by any restaurant to get a breakfast. After walking around, we found we nothing to eat and we are walking around the markets. 
We also went to 7-11 to buy some mineral waters for refreshment since Thailand is very hot even the days. I found thats some products in 7-11 are actually cheaper than local markets.
Finally we found a restaurant at the back of the street name Downtown restaurant and there is free WIFI. 

Thailand really everything have to pay even ice!!! So there is no exception for WIFI. We loaded the route on Waze to bring us to our hotel to check in.

This is my breakfast for the day. Simple 40THB 

This is like Char Ho Fan. Taste not bad but big portion. Haha

View from the Lobby.

After check-in 10.30am. Have a drink beside the lobby

 I'm busing playing witht the camera

And our friend is busy searching for WIFI.

Since out hotel is located at the hill, we were sent up by buggy at the lobby.

The hill to my room

The food inside my room drawer hahahaha. Forget about the fridge already.

We have a sofa inside and balcony also. More photos about the room was taken in DSLR which the camera is not with me. So all these are actually taken from my phone. 

Walk around the hotel to search for lunch since there is 6 restaurants in the hotel.

This is the stairs to reach the lobby and to go to our room. It's about 4 to 5 stories high..... 

At the Splash Bar. Looking into the menu for foods. Beside is the splash pool. This restaurant located the most top of the hotel so the view is incredible.  

Splash Bar area view to private beach. 

Hotel compound. 

Finally we decided to have lunch in the hotel's most best restaurant, which is Prego By the Beach. It's fine dining as well the food is very delicious. We found that we have to dine at open air beside the Prego pool and the chefs are cooking inside the air-conditioning kitchen! No photo was taken, enjoy he food to the max.

The hotel private beach. No one there only us. The view is nice to the hotel especially at night. There is also kayak and beach activities around.

The beach does't look as nice as others but is good because is quite and no one disturb. 

Jojo pose.... 

This is the car we rented. We went out to the nearest 24hrs mart to buy some drinks and junk foods back to the hotel. By the way everywhere is 24hrs mini marts, even Tesco also. haha

The room was so comfortable and cold, once you land on the Heavenly bed. You do not wish to wake up. Haha. See Jojo already fall asleep. 

View from my room. The sun will set infront of us. Haha

 Horizon Pool Jazzuci. This small pool water is cold because it located at behind hidden from the sun energy. 

 Enjoy

Jojo flim documentary. Haha

 Jojo again...

See the sun is so bright@.@

Thanks for a good man who came to us offer to take photos for us.

 Too small haha moving to the big Horizon Pool.


Most of the pool have glass to view out as endless pool.

Pool Bar Menu 1. 5.30pm-6.30pm buy 1 free 1.

I ordered Orange Juice which cost 140THB and free 1 more

I donno what drinks they ordered but is alcohol haha

Jojo pose again haha

Sunset view from the pool

The pool had been coloured by the sun

So relax, even the hotel guest sat at the pool from morning until we return to room.

Is time to get back to room and get ready for dinner.

Sunset view from our room

A panaroma view

Our room have the best view. I can see the hotel restaurant, horizon pool and the private pool under us

I did't not take any photos on the road to the jetty because I'm the navigator with my google maps in my phone. We reached the place and pay 20THB per-entry parking. As my thread starter say it's surprise us, yes it does. Since we forget to bring the list of restaurant, we just follow the long boat. There are about 5 floating restaurant around and guess what? Our driver drop us at the best among all. All the seafood is alive and swimming in the water, they catch it live and cook, so is very fresh and nice.

We read before that people recommend 5.30pm time is the best, but we reach there at 8.00pm and interesting is mostly are locals who went there eat, so i guess it's good that why the locals are there also. It's only cost us 2300THB. We try to order lobster and also mantis prawn, but due to language problem they say don't have. But when we walk around the platform we saw it.... But just all these dishes is enough for us 4 without rice.

 Soft shell crap. 

Sea bass (the best)

 Fried squid

Transparent noodles and shrimp. (the best)

 TomYam soup, if you accidently bite the chilis padi, than a bottle of coke wont help you also 

 The fresh oyster, very big and each only cost RM4.50 malaysia ringgit. Its was the best and sweet, we order another plate of oyster haha

The side dishes for the oyster

Jojo tackling the sea bass

 Tom Yam soup, although its look fair, but the aroma is there and the taste is very delicous

Fried onions, i guess is for the oyster.

Conclusion, went to Phuket you must go this seafood restaurant.
