Phantastic Phuket - Day 4


Day 4 means the end of the whole trip. But it doesn't mean we pack and back to KL. Our flight was at 9.05pm Thai hour, minus 2 hours for check in and some shopping at Phuket Airport's Dury Free shop, we still have daytime to spend. We managed to get back the friendly driver 'Fat' who fetched from airport on day 1, to send us back to airport on our last day. But this time it was his friend, still as friendly as him.

The group of us quickly took some time to swam at the pool for last shot after our breakfast. Although it was only an hour but we had good time. Pack our stuffs and headed for check out. Again I've to emphasized that Thavorn Beach Village and Spa's service is superb. And I thought people at Thailand is always friendly, and I'm being honest.

Day 4 was the day we did last minute shopping. We literally went all the way from Patong to Phuket town and out of the town to get Cashew Nuts, all thanks to the driver whom doesn't know English at all, only basic, and I mean really basic.

Raw cashew nuts.

Huge Jackfruit

We went to a mega market, some sort like a wholesale store that sells EVERYTHING. We went shopping and get everything we want. Junk food heaven! And is dirt cheap.

Counting money, everyone was almost broke at day 4.
Saving up for airport fearing that our luggages will overweight.
They are known as checkers,
even their t-shirt explained all.
The checkers will standby at the exit and check the item list from the receipt before letting the customer go.
Things that we bought :D
Every single one of us were broke, saving all that we could for a decent dinner before heading back to KL, we can't be going back with and empty stomach and knowing that airport's restaurant is a money slaughterer :D We wanted something cheap and nice, this Food park is located in a shopping mall, all thanks to the driver again for bringing us there because we requested it.

Mini sushis 10baht per pc.
Beef Noodle.
My last order before leaving Phuket.

Our departure time was supposedly 2105 thai hour, but the flight got delayed 35minutes after we printed out our boarding pass via kiosk. We were okay with that because eventhough reaching KL it will be 2315 local time. We happily check in those overweight luggages and made our way to the duty free shop, the guys were busy picking their favorite liquor and also busy collecting passports to purchase more. It was only 7pm then when we did our shopping, waited for 2hours and really anticipating to board our flight back home because everyone was really exhausted. Suddenly, the screen in front our platform shown a different time of our departure, and it came with a broadcaster informing that our flight has been delayed to another half an hour. If you are a regular Air Asia customer, you would know their frequent flight delay habit I would say.

We reached LCCT at 0030 local time. I was really really dead tired and slept through the journey from LCCT back to Ampang.

Phuket is really Phantastic :D Did I mention the expanses of this whole trip? Oh btw, I've got this Flight + Hotel package for only RM600 for 4d3n. It was really a lucky one because after 2 weeks when we check the price, it has gone up to RM800 and above. :)

This whole trip cost me 10000baht. Do the math :)

Give yourself a chance to explore Phuket, we have lots more places that we have yet to explored. It will be my list again :D
