PATONG ON FOOT: DAY 4 (22nd April) Since the past few days, we've been walking at night and not daring enough to walk till the other end of the streets, we decided to do so on this day. (There's this road called Bangla Road where you will see lots of women escorts, table top dancers and those who look like women :p)

The items sold in shops visible to the tourists are so expensive compared to Bali and Bangkok. Cos most shop owners are not local and usually from Nepal. So, it's not really a shopping paradise.

We went to Jungceylon again. Had a drink at Starbucks, walked around the mall and realised that half of the shops are still not open (still very new). We went to the basement, a dedicated level for shops selling local products. I was suprised and simply delighted to know that most of the items are cheaper than in the streets! Thats when I bought lots of decorative stuff for the house.

Lastly, my favourite, 1hr foot spa!!! For 1hr @ $11, it's such a sweet bargain. The masseuse massages your feet, back and shoulder. Shiok!

HOME: DAY 5 (23rd April)

It was just packing time and breakfast. Just like my other trips, it was hard to leave the place and back to reality :p

Phuket is packed with tourists especially Caucasians. Overcrowded and 'touristy'. Personally, I prefer Bali cos there are more picturesque sceneries, very laid back and great first impression until I left for Singapore. The wave in Kuta was enuff to wow me and the fact that the people there are working for tourism, impresses me.

Although, in Phuket, I've made quite a few friends and in particular, a Thai man in his 40s, whom I've kept in contact via email. He owns a shop which sells coconut and seashell products. I've already ordered a few stuff from him :) I would probably suggest Krabi, the quieter and rather low profile tourist area compared to Phuket.

View all my pictures from Day 1 to Day 5 here!
