Travel in Phuket, Thailand

It been an awesome moment to be able to traveling around again.

Introduction
Phuket is one of the most famous travel spot in thailand. Locate just at east part of Thailand. Hearing from locale says, it is the most expensive city in Thailand, and indeed it is.

Getting here
The best way to come to Phuket by air. It is convenient and easily come from almost every main city in South East Asia. I personally prefer Air Asia, ad it is affordable with great hospitality.

Accommodation
It is always to book a rooms before your arrival, as it is more cheaper and give much convenient. I always choose Agoda or Booking.com as my choice for looking up accommodation. Depends on your preference, you can get a dorm bed, a guest house or even a five star hotel. Staying at or near Patong Beach definitely give you much convenient to access to every place around Phuket.

Getting Around
If you have a license to ride a bike, and come in just few person. I would highly recommend you to travel around on bike. You can book a bike prior arrival, or just get it at the airport. The price should be around 200bath per day. The road here is easy to go around, and not too far from each others.
However, you can get a cab or tuk-tuk also to go around. But it would be more pricy at Phuket compare to Bangkok.

What to eat??
Staying here for few days, i had most of my meals at No.6 restaurant at Patong Beach. The price is good and the food is good. You can always found people Q-ing outside the shop. However, they have a new branch at the hill tops just near their main shop, and free shuttle is provide to return from the new branch. I'm highly recommend to go to the hill tops No.6 restaurant for a dinner. Great scene, great food, great service, and good price.
Food must try here? Pad Thai, fried noodles, tom yam kung , green curry chicken.

Must Go!!
ThromLeap Cape ( not sure if i call it correctly)- the best place for sunset, and you must reach there around 6pm to see the awesome scene. It is definitely one the most romantic place in Phuket.
Temple- hmm, i not a buddhist, so not interest of visit either the temple. Though is famous over here, and you can see the big white buddha from many place in phuket.
Phi phi island- everyone said this is a must go. Well, i went but not up to my expectation. The sea water is clear, but not much of corals and fish. If your intend is yo diving or snorkeling, would be better to go koh lipeh, redang island, or Simpadan island at Sabah. By the way, the boat took hours to go to phi phi island, and this is a suffering journey for return. The price should range from cheapest 700 bath to 1800 bath. Dun take any more than that, though some will tell you it is promotion price.
Patong Beach - longest beach in Phuket, and the most happening area. You can find many water sport in the day time, and many night life at the walking street such as Agogo show, lady boy shows, and maybe just for a beer. There are many interesting board games there to play ad well.

And never forget, thai massage any your preference. There are too much here.
