Day 2, we woke up early in the morning to enjoy the breeze uphill. After a few breath of the breeze, we get ourselves changed and jump into the real romantic seaview swimming pool and followed by the breakfast.
After wash and change, we proceed to catch the free shuttle bus to Patong beach. Actually, its a modified pick-up truck. 
After reaching the beach, we manage to catch an inter-city bus. The bus is blue in colour and it takes us 25baht per person to go to Phuket Town from Patong beach. This time, its a real bus rather than a pick-up truck.

Tut - Tut Car in Phuket Island
At the town, we stop and shop at Central Festival Market (most west shopping complex in Phuket Town). Bought some souvenirs. Then we walk around the town by foot. Of course, the town is big and we only manage to use an hour to explore part of it. There are temples with chinese words on it(but the people inside speaks Thai). We walk around by just depending on the map we got from the airport. However, please do not trust the map cos it will get you into confusion and more trouble. This is not the fault of the map, its because the town area are too crowded and its hard to draw everything on a map. Even in Patong beach, maps are useless. It will only briefly show you the direction but not the actual every single shop. If you were to find a hotel on the map, you will only find some. Only high class hotel and popular shop will be shown. We faced some difficulties while we walk around in town. At last, we managed to get to the local beaches transfer bus station. This time, we're facing problem again. Its actually not a bus station. Its just some parking area in front of a few rows of shops beside the road. No wonder we couldn't get it right on the map.
After reaching back to Juncylon, we then walk around at some sort of market where there are clothes, shoes, to be sold. Its like Malaysian "Chi Chong Gai" but in Phuket, the name it BanZaan Market. You should bargain to get a really low price and usually, they will hand you the calculator and you press the price instead of them giving you a discount. A great way to do business huh??...
A very special kind of cloth they called it "Thai Silk" here. Its a kind of Sarong with various color. Its smooth and great.
After the short bargain and shopping, we go to the some sort of night market. Its near Juncylon, the Thai Boxing Venue, and the BanZaan Market just now. In this night market, the food recommemded here are "Pha Tai" which only cost 40baht and a so called "Thai Spegetti" cost only 30baht. "Pha Tai" is a kind of "Kue Tiaw Goreng" in Malaysia but it taste real good and different compared to the one found in Malaysia. While the "Thai Speg" as mentioned by the hawker, its some sort of "meehoon rendang" or "laksa" in Malaysia but it taste really nice.
The heavy rain that day concluded the day.
