Thailand: Phuket - Phuket City

I went to Phuket one month after Haiyat and Koh Lipe, this is a surprise trip for John, which i let all his travelmates keep the secret that i will be following to the trip, and appear in the airport suddenly to surprise him.

The plan goes pretty smooth, but fuck our flight were delayed 6 hours, this is first delay experience that i ever had since i traveled with AirAsia. Shouldn't i say i'm the one who bring this black luck?

 But anyway, we reach Phuket in late night, like 11 something, get hotel free mini van and off to check in.

We stayed in C&N hotel, which is allocated in an alley off to the main road, 5 minute to the famous shopping center (which i cannot recall the name, but i bet phuket city center has only one big giant shopping center), and 2 minute to the club & pub street. Across the club street you will see the beach and sea, it was take you like 10 minute walking.

The hotel is pretty handy, right opposite is a small restaurant named Sabai Sabai, i love the name lot coz it sound like Thai restuarant (ok it is a Thai restaurant, but i mean you will knows it a Thai restaurant just by the name), and i dine there once in the last day i was in Phuket, damn i should eat there earlier, almost the best and cheap meal that i had in the whole trip.

Beside the restaurant, C&H massage center was just right next to Sabai Sabai, which runs under the hotel just right beside the hotel, and there is another massage center opposite of the hotel.

Walk out from the alley you'll see the main street, right left is famous Chinese Restaurant name Mr. Good (we dined there once, and my conclusion is not bad, yet not good either, a bit pricy though).

I heard from driver that there is another C&N hotel in Phuket, but somewhere outskirt and more expensive i think. If you happen to book the room in this hotel, make sure you know which are you make booking.

The double bed room cost us rm100 per night, free buffet breakfast and airport transfer, so this is good deal in such a strategy location.

Big and bright room, with mini fridge, tv, cold air-con, hot shower, free water and balcony so you can go out and look at houses, which i think this is dumb.

The hotel has no website so i couldn't direct the link here, but take a look on hotel booking website, plenty of those.

I would recommend this if you aim for shopping and club more than beach and quiet vocation (but i guess no such thing call quiet in phuket, the club and pub street is happening all night long).

Ok before i forget, the only bad thing in the room was noisy. I'm not sure if the sound proof is poor or every single speakers in phuket was turning on during night time, we heard loud speaker noise in the middle of the night, well probably we're staying just one block away from the club streets and the room just 3 floor height.

View from the room balcony, which i say you walk out and see houses, dumb. 

I remembered to bring my camera, so every colourful scene caught my eyes. 

Doggie cute <3

The main street is quiet in the morning. 

Motor bike rental everywhere.

A white and local couple everywhere.

I always wonder what will happen if electricity on fire in thailand.  

If you think the last photo is shit this is shitter.

the street

Imagine when all the bulb on during night time. 

Off from the main street, still some local residence. 

Tuk tuk charge here is crazy. 200bath per way per tuk tuk, for 15 minutes right. Same distance in Hatyai just 20bath per way per person. 

The stall like this sold not only tea, but cup noodle and snack, weird huh have cup noodle beside the road :P. 

Holy Thai

Its getting happening when the day turning to dark 

walking into alley instead of main street is my favourite when travelling. I seen what other don't.

Like local people pray with famous soft drink in thai. 

Phuket is small, 2 main streets and done walking one round in 3 hours.

Grill corn stall everywhere too.  

Phuket (or i should say Thailand) has lots of gallery and painter. Walk into this gallery and see he is drawing the famous photos. Moom the painter is nice to talk with. 

Like Indonesia, they sold gasoline like isotonic drink here. 

Fuck the cow face was frightening me every time i pass by. 

Phuket is the city that i can find Chinese words the most.

Blessed with the clear sky and good weather. 

They never hide they love their King

First impression: Damn taiwan or what?!

Pink mini van. Heart this. 

The club street turn to flea / food stall during day time. 

If i have to be dog in my next life, i wish i born in Thai. 

Petaling street wtf

I like this the most. Not editing. Not effect. 

3 nights i stay in Phuket, which John was 4 nights (i've to back for work), we spend 2 days wondering around in the city and one day off to islands hopping and snorkeling, that will be in another post, if i remember where did i copy all the photos too.

Nah if i couldn't find it i will ask from John again. Just be a little patient. I know one post per month is shit but i'm so busy in finalize my korea trip in this coming March.

So i have one island post, 1 kradi town, 1 Aonang and 1 Koh Lanta post are coming up. Damn.
