Phuket Holiday - Part 1

As promised, aku nak cite a fun thing that recently happened. Phuket trip! Yeah, yeah. Sronok habeh. Lagi best dari Krabi tapi still xleh challenge trip Bali. Hihi. Aku decide nak break down the post about the trip into two posts for a single day. Bukan apa. Semenjak dah ade kamera ni, maka banyak ler gambor tuk dipost skali. This is to avoid a single post jadi panjang and messy.

I guess I start with the preparation we did leading up to the date we boarded the plane on the 28^th April.

The date:

I thought the date was perfect. It’s during mid of the year and after 4 month of non vacation period for me because my teammate was on her maternity leave. I had to be her backup for the entire period of time. Also, the month of Mar and Apr were without any holiday so it’s nice to take some time off. And all of my friends were on board. And we stretched the vacation even more. Before this, I g holiday dalam 3 malam je tapi for Phuket, we decided to go all the way to 5 nights. Biar puas!

The destination:

It was either Bali or Phuket. We also considered about China which was a bit of a stretch for our wallet. In the end chose Phuket pasal airfare cheaper, cuaca dah leh predict coz been there around the same time last year. Hotel pon seems to be much cheaper coz during May it’s a low season unlike Bali.

The flight:

Obviously, we first thought of AirAsia. Beli around 3,4 months earlier. Tetibe MAS pon wat offer. Pe lagi. Kami grab la. G naik AirAsia, balik naik MAS. Harga ticket like below:

KUL-HKT : AIRASIA – RM 175 including all tax, without luggage and food.

HKT-KUL : MAS – RM 250 all included

Very cheap gak ler! Nak merasa naik MAS gak. Haha. Worth my money la I thought.

The accommodation:

This was the second thing we thought of. And the most expensive. Before that tanya several hotel yang located kat NaiHarn Beach, Karon Beach, Kata Beach and Surin Beach. Really took my friend’s advice tuk stay away from Patong Beach but in the end, we booked kat situ gak. Finally, we booked thru booking.com and asiahotels.com for the rooms. Easier and cheaper. Just need to give them your credit card details. Trust me, it’s even a better bargain daripada bersempit2 kat Matta fair yang xdelah murah pon.

Deevana Patong Resort and Spa (4 stars) - 3 nights – RM 130 per standard room/night

Thavorn Beach Village and Spa (4 stars) – 2 nights - RM 150 per deluxe room/night

Tapi I kinda regret we spend so much for hotel coz frankly, you can easily find cheap and decent room that cost about RM50 per nite kat Phuket. But still, kami puas. Hotel ade pool and garden yang lawa, why not spend more.

OK la..Nanti aku sambung pasal the actual holiday plak along with pictures. Later!
