PHUKET2011
This was quite a impromptu yet a much needed trip for the both of us . We' ve both been very busy at work and because I ' m gonna embark on a new journey soon so , we thought we could do with a trip !
We took the night flight and because our flight got delayed so by the time we settled down , it was pretty late already .
It was crazy cause we got to wake up early the next day for our outdoor adventure trip !
The ATV+Elephant ride+Monkey show !
& It was time for ATV ! There is our guide who brought us high up to the mountains and down again .
It was my second time on the ATV and I loved it because it ' s always so much fun driving in the woods seeing many different kind of things . & of course , getting dirty is the other fun thing too ! Haha !
And we drove all the way up to the Big Buddha . . .
And half way through our ATV ride it started pouring !!! Not sure if it ' s my fate or something but it seems like it always rain whenever I play the ATV . It happened the other time when I was at Bintan playing it with the homies . So we put on our raincoat and the rain continued but we still had to go for the elephant ride so it was raincoat + umbrella !
It was both our first time on an elephant ! So we were really scared especially since it was raining , we were so afraid the elephant would lose it's balance or something ! But this was definitely one of the highlights of our trip ! It wasn't that bad after all and we really enjoyed it !
And we caught the Fantasea Show that evening which was great ! It's a musical which is one of their tourist must catch ! I don't have much pictures with me cause my camera died . But the show was amazing cause the place was huge and their props were magnificent !
Our first seafood meal of the trip from one of the stalls along the road .
This is the biggest prawn I ' ve seen or eaten in my life !
Then it was our last day in Patong before we went up to another part of Phuket !
We woke up early to grab breakfast and went to the mall and did last minute shopping before check out .
And on our way to the reason why we chose to come to Phuket !
Though the driver brought us one big round around Phuket before we got to our destination , the 3 hour long ride was worth it all when we arrived and got greeted by the lovely view from our room !
The lovely pool and ocean view that we see for the next 3 days !
And the first thing we did was to get in the pool !
And we had our first meal !
One thing about Aleenta is that , the place is so private and it was pouring heavily we could only dine within the resort itself .
So we settled for their Thai restaurant and ordered a whole set for 2 .
The set was pretty good , well at least they have a certain standard and it was something different for the both of us .
Then we headed to their bar after dinner !
It ' s one for one all day , all night !
It was a quiet and cosy place which faces the beach and I really liked that about the place .
And so we headed back there again for the next 2 days !
And we continued the drinking back at our room where we bought Vodka - Orient Apple at the DFS before departing Singapore .
But the vodka kinda tasted horrible . It was unlike other Vodkas . This was much thicker and stronger .
Day 4 and also the last day before we leave !
Our very sumptuous breakfast !
It kept pouring the whole time during our stay there so no chilling by the beach and we were really lucky we got to the beach before it started pouring again !
We went back to the bar for drinks and got dvds from the hotel and chilled in the room before heading out for dinner that evening !
We got a car to bring us to a near by local beach restaurant for yet another seafood dinner !
It was relatively good but it started pouring half way through so it was very chilly because the outdoor restaurant was located just next to the beach !
Vincent fiddled around the wardrobe and found this yoga outfit and don it and made me laugh like crazy . Haha !
It was a very R&R trip . Nothing much to buy at Phuket . We went with one luggage and came back with one too !
But all in all , it was a good trip & I enjoyed myself tremendously !
