Phuket Island - Day ONE - 1st December 2009 - The Arrival

Phuket, I would pronounce it as heaven for all human being is the best place I have ever been in my life.

I went there by AirAsia and it is supposed to depart at 1245hours and reach at 1300hours. But it delay until 1445hours and reach at 1500hours. This causes me to lost some precious time waiting at the airport.

After reaching there at 1500hours local time, we went straight to the travel agent for some tour arragement and hotel purchase. After the arrangement, we boarded a minivan to our first hotel with a price of 150baht.

Patong Cottage Resort

First night, Patong Cottage Resort, a great resort, the front desk receptionist were really friendly although they speaks broken english but its understandable. After checking in, they bring us to tour around the hotel area. The the environment are really nice. Its up on the hill and the swimming pool was fabulous. We can see the whole Patong beach and even Cruises berthed outside the beach. However, location is a great problem. We need to walk for more than half an hour to reach the nearest shopping complex, Jungcylon. But then while you walk, or boarded a tut-tut, you can see lots of their culture like a small mini gasoline pump with a Shell symbol, pubs, massage centers and so on.

Due to the flight delay and the rain, we only manage to walk around Juncylon for the first night.
