Continued from last post
Phuket was well known for it's (her's?) long shoreline beach, that could take almost 1km end to end. Same case with Karon and Kata beach. This was high season mind you, not the PEAK. Peak season was from Dec - Jan, with beaches cramped with tourists.
Kata Noi Beach (I think... they all look the same)
Karon Beach
I was sunburnt, it was time to head home. Later that night, we went for a quick dinner at one halal stall that we found. It served a dish like 'bihun sup', and there were ulam as well and it was meant to be eaten like an ulam. A bit different like here in Malaysia, we usually take ulam with plain rice or in case of laksa, the ulam is shredded.
Translated = Kedai Bihun Sup Utara... I guess
Sedap woo~~!
PROTIP: Halal food restaurants/stalls can be found located near the mosque. Some of the waiters are from Pattani so they do speak Malay with Kelantan accent. Make life easier :D
Since the night was still young, we went for a stroll along the Patong beach road. Lotsa tourist there, mostly having dinner in bars/restaurants scattered along the road. The seafood was pricey and we glad that we already had dinner. Tired, we head back to our guesthouse.
It would have been a great shot if the crocs were not in the way.
One road near Beach Road, selling all kind of stuffs.
When you see it, you'll shit bricks :D
Day 3 - Sunday
A good plan today. Terjun2 (swimming)! In one brochure, it was stated that one particular beach, called Kamala (located north of Patong) was a beautiful and hidden beach, away from the hectic Patong. Also, it was one of the largest Muslim community in Phuket, got kampungs here and there. Early morning, we went there for a swim and lazying on the sandy beach.
Kamala Beach - Serene, Zen, Beauty
Afternoon was a bit down. We went for a lunch in a big halal restaurant called Gaddafi, when suddenly heavy rain started. We were stuck in the restaurant for almost 3 hours but luckily, the host was a good lady. After the rain stopped, the way back home was flooded and I had to take a detour. We did get lost a bit but seriously, with a map handy at all times, you can't get lost in Patong area.
Kusuma Seafood. The seafood was a bit pricey. Island standard price.
After a quick dinner at one famous Thai-Malay restaurant, it was time to enjoy the night life in the famous Bangla Road. The road was jam packed with tourist from all over the place. There were pubs/bars/restaurant lined along the road. Bangla Road was famous for it's, well you can google it yourself. Suffice to say, from straight to gay, you can find everything here hahaha. We were even approached by a guy promoting A-Go-GO bar, famous for it's 'pingpong' girls :D. NO COVER CHARGE!
Imma chargin mah lazer
The alley to AGoGo bar :D
After snapping photos and some recording 'good' stuffs, we head home. Ready for tomorrow 1 day Phi Phi Island tour.
