The Phuket Post.
The Day/Night before
the new majestic!
cammanwhore, he is.
then we went to go meet Dan, Shant and Sarah for drinks at Indochine.
nope, i dont know what's up with the death look either.
that's ciggie smoke blown into the glass
Day One
at the budget terminal
nice word.
me, i dont get the deal but the bottle is cool. absolut is shit but they have the coolest advertising
hell yeah. see the bailey's?
that's pete, shant and dan going up.
In phuket!
ladies and gentlemen we have arrived.
at immigration! if you look closely, it seems like dan is eating timmy's hair.
in the arranged van on the way to the hotel =)
stayed at the Boomerang Inn. checked in and went next door for pizza before exploring town.
The place. =P
then we went back to the room, played a drinking game and er. it was a pretty funny sight.
shant... broke some shower thing in the toilet. cue: what did i dooooooo? =P
pete... died after (OK YES I KNOW) 10 shots, broke the vodka bottle and started licking the floor cause the vodka was there.
i... died after 7 shots, cut my thumb on the broken glass trying to help and crashed back in my room, my face as white as anything according to timmy.
timmy... didnt die. he took so much care of me, i love the boy =)
dan... didnt die but i heard he was laughing at every damn thing.
and of course with the exception of tim and dan, we all puked. =/
everyone was kinda out. we had drinks too before we started the game while in town.
Day Two
(thank god, no hangovers)
food was damn cheap.
first activity!
i didnt jump this time cause i bungeed before and it was expensive, but trust me i had my share of fun watching everyone jump.
at 60m, its supposedly the highest in phuket.
he went first
that's shant falling.
timmy's second
brave smile, it is.
third...
fear! i mean fourth.
then after the adrenaline rush, we all went to some ala subway place opposite our hotel for lunch.
next thing to do: jet ski!
i swear. everyone needs to jet ski off and out into the sunset at least ONCE in their lives. you never feel more free and more alive. it was fucking awesome.
went in the evening. beautiful.
and the sunset? the sunset was beautiful.
(none of these were photoshopped in anyway. not even brightness/contrast)
this is my favourite. makes it look like the entire beach has only the four of us frolicking in the waves.
then we went for dinner at some shisha place!
the shisha is fucking cheap.
$6, and way stronger than the stuff in singapore.
(not orbs ah, water droplets)
LOLOL
and i'll say it again, the food is fucking cheap. and the presentation is awesome. you dont often see those two in the same sentence in singapore
then.. sleep.
Day Three
tour of the islands today.
leaving the dock.
it was a boat ride from hell. you surge and crash with each wave, fucking ow lah.
look at the damn water!
our motor fell off mid journey so we stopped at something-bay to change boats and swim abit.
meet monty, jacob and no-name.
they are hermit crabs in case you're wondering.
just HOW does the water get so turquoise?
that's where the bird's nest come from. swallows build their nest there.
snorkelling next
at monkey beach!
meet peter, the hermit crab whom we took back to the hotel.
Day Four
(beginning of the water festival madness)
supposed to go white water rafting today but everyone was tired so it was free and easy. mostly shopping. and getting sprayed at with water guns. just a little.
check out the clouds.
before going to walk around town
after getting back from town. soaking wet. we ended up buying super soakers to retaliate.
changed and went to Banana disco.
supposed to go there, but we got the date wrong. the beach was completely empty.
Day Fivelast day. the day where everyone goes mad throwing water.
yep, that is a fucking seahorse. meet pegasus.
our room. yep there are orbs. 5 to be exact.
their room.
lol mr and mrs smith.
it was like that the ENTIRE stretch.
they smear stuff on your face too.
so timmy goes to go do his cool rasta white dude braids while shant and i take refuge inside.
it was insanity outside.
people on trucks throw water too.
while dan does whatever he is doing...
and
timmy
gets
his
hair
done...
peter is outside getting owned by little kids.
LOL
we walked to the shopping centre. completely sopping wet. dried off a little there and got a tuk tuk back thinking it would be ok.
we got wet again. people actually run up to the tuk tuk when the traffic isnt moving just to throw water at us.
more often than not, icy cold water.
passing trucks.. people with hoses... people with super soakers.
you can imagine. hell lot of water.
so. we finally got back to the hotel, dried up and took off for the airport.
it was nice being dry and watching everyone else get soaked.
it was just like one huge street party. it was definitely an awesome experience and though it hindered my last day shopping, im really thankful we were there in time for the Songkran.
their new year is so cool. and they truly embrace the spirit of it. in singapore, we put up with visiting purely out of greed.
you dont stand to gain anything from throwing water, but people there still do it anyway.
i like their new year more.
ash mountain.
DONE!
now, i hope the bangkok-with-timmy and the japan-with-singyi trips both pull through.
