Many dreamt of visiting the beautiful Maldives; where the lagoon sparkles in a teal blue shade and the beach a sandy white. Said to be one of the prettiest place on Earth, it is not surprising why it is a popular spot for weddings that is just a 4 hours flight away from Singapore. I attended Pris's lovely, private wedding on Centara Island Resort and it was truly a beautiful moment that would be etched in my memory.

Post-vacation blues; it usually happens to me even before my vacation ends, especially on the last day.

For the 3rd day, we were all up early for our final itinerary in Phuket – Island hopping. One of the main tourist attractions in Phuket is their island exploring packages, where you can travel to the famous Phi Phi Island, James Bond Island and Coral Island etc. Since J and I have been to Phi Phi Island on our previous trip, the rest of the group was kind enough to skip these 2 islands.

On board the speed boat, we all got serious sun burns but hack, it was all worth it. Against the blustery wind, our hair got blown in all directions and yet, the trip there was still filled with fun and laughter. Coral Island was however, nothing like how beautiful it sounded. The beach was cluttered with tourists; our enjoyment was accomplished through sand castles building and the over priced-but-yummy grilled corn.

Raya Island was A-M-A-Z-I-N-G. Long stretch of smooth sandy white beach, gentle waves and shallow teal blue sea, it won my heart over from Phi Phi Island. One of the prettiest place nature brought to us.

Even though the trip has finally reach the end, we did not waste any time left at Bali. As usual, we got up pretty early, packed our luggages and left them with the concierge before heading for breakfast at a really cool restaurant/cocktail bar/coffee den - Sea Circus; which was located just at the corner of our street. It's weird isn't it? Almost everything you eat during a vacation taste just like heaven :) Made an order of beer battered fish & chips with tartare whereas the girlfriend had a sirloin steak tortilla wrap (if I'm not mistaken). Did our last round of shopping around the island before heading for the airport. 

After a ultra long wait, I've finally complete my travelogue on Phuket. Yes, this post marks the last day I get to soak in the sun rays, indulge in all the good Thai food and enjoyment of Phuket.

Woke up really early on the last day to check in our baggage at the hotel lobby before proceeding with more sight seeing and last minutes shopping for family and friends. Nothing really changed beside the fact that both of us got sun burnt from all the water activities the previous day.

Made another trip down to Jungceylon shopping mall and realized that we didn't explore the back of the mall extension which had much more shops! Lucky us! There's so much to be thankful for, especially the weather. If the weather had not been excellent during the entire stay, we wouldn't get to enjoy all the fun.

Before heading out to the streets again, this ete ice-cream stall caught my attention with the long queue it was holding. It seems like a famous ice cream stall for the locals, something like our Ben & Jerry or perhaps Marble Slab

Check out all these amazing flavours!

And so we got a cone with 2 scoops of ice cream! Maccadamia Brittle for me and the Young Coconut Sorbet for the Mister.

At last, we arrived at the 50 Baht shop after walking down 2 streets under the sun! J wanted to buy singlets so we spent quite a while there choosing patterns, colours, sizes plus they also sold other items such as make up pouches, bags and souvenirs all at 50 Baht.

That would be me, sitting down on their staff tool waiting for the Mister to finish his shopping while I took self shots (good lightings!).

Hi Mr-muscle-all-over. His arms are getting ridiculously huge these days!

Chanced upon their Family Mart; a 7-11 concept store, and had this bad craving for spicy titbits. Mind you, it might be Thailand where the food are always hot and spicy but you can hardly get spicy titbits in Phuket. So was I happy when I saw Calbee spicy fries, until the moment we ripped open the pack. Instead of what we both thought to be spicy flavoured fries, 2 sachet of chili sauce was found inside. We stoned for nearly a minute before our brain finally process this truth and we just stood by the roadside laughing ourselves silly.

Yes, we ate it this way. #lol

Lunch at some random home cook restaurant with pineapple rice, Barbecue prawns and Fry fish! The camera is obviously not doing any justice to the fish, it was the utmost delicious dish of the entire meal!

On our way back, J stopped by this mobile drink stall and got us a cup of milk tea which was really 90% condense milk and 10% tea. Real sweet. All those condense milk filled cup prepared at the side had bees crawling inside, all over it. Gosh, can you image how sweet this stuff is?

Night market along the beach starts operating early on weekends. By 4pm food stall are already set up with pipping hot seafood and bites you can enjoy from!


Free sitting along the beach for you to enjoy the food with. Sea breeze, music and good food. I will definitely miss this place.

One last dose of Nutella Banana Crepe before we head off to the airport.
Will we be back? Probably :)
