My Phuket Trip (20-24Feb2009)

Went to Phuket and surrounding islands for a 5D4N trip together with my 3 other friends. We stay at a guesthouse named Baan Sumphan Guesthouse, 500Baht for a room for two with TV, fridge and a bathroom. It is situated at Patong Beach, not far away from the most happening place in Patong - Bangla Rd. This is a short preview for our trip.

Day 1: Wat Chalong, Big Buddha, Promthep Cape
Day 2: James Bond Island
Day 3: Phi Phi Island, Simon Cabaret
Day 4: Similan Island
Day 5: Karon Beach, Kata Beach, View Point, Promthep Cape

My top 3 recomended place for you:
1. Similan Island - Top recomended island for those who like beaches, snorkeling and diving! Really different from other islands around Phuket. Still preserved with its clean and white sandy beached + the clear blue sea make me missed there so much.

2. Promthep Cape - We went there 2 times must have a reason. It has great view for day time and to see sunset! Both will give you a different feel and different scenery to see. If you're going during daytime, strongly recomend you rent a motocycle and ride there yourself. Great view along the road too!

3. Big Buddha - Although has not completed yet, but you can see the statue of the big Buddha sitting on top of the hill. Nice scenery up hill :)

shyhhua said...

Hmm.. not really remember. But other than airfare, I bring around RM1000 and i almost used them up. Coz we went to 3 island trips (Similan, james Bond & Phi Phi) and these 3 trips already cost us around RM450. Similan only available from Dec to April if not mistaken. Really nice place and different from other islands near phuket.
Other expenses are like hostel (RM100 for 5D4N), Phuket tour + airport transfer (RM48), motorbike rental + gas (RM12) and others.
