RefLeCtiOns: PHUKET - of Patong, massages and all things Thai

so i figured i might as well get all the Phuket entries out of the way...

before Bintan and Bali next month!!!

YAY!!!

anyways...

Patong.

I is no likes Patong.
So crowded!
So luan!
So...... aiya! It's another tourist-trap kind of place lah.
Wo bu xi huan.
End of story =P

~ the girls in the "tuk-tuk" on our way to Patong ~

i hated how the locals there try to make money from EVERY BLARDY THING!!! trying to grab a ride to the next town? have to bargain like siao!!! wtf. if your "tuk-tuks" so blardy fab' with stereo and air-con and wtf all the good things that make a ride damn comfy, then i'll pay more lah! your lao-pok "tuk-tuk"...?! just another means of transport lorrr! wtf. charge so much.

so on the last day of our super short trip in Phuket, we checked out of the Hotel (which we were plain unhappy with *reminder: Hotel with potential but fail, fail, FAILED. duh!) at noon.

we refused to pay ridiculous amounts for a ride to Patong so we walked quite a bit to another "taxi stand".

~Us. Just walking along... in that freaking hot weather!!! ~

~ Finally gets onto a super big, comfy minivan-of-a-taxi. YAY!!! Aircon! ~

We would have had to pay THE SAME AMOUNT for a crappy "tuk-tuk" hooookays? ridiculous or not huh? wtf.

~ whose 'sunblock-on-back' art is this? hurhurhur. ~

We spent whatever time we had left that day in Patong.

We went for super cheap, super shiok full body massages...

We had yummy Thai food (in a food court ok?! FOOD COURT?! please tell me where in SG you find authentic Thai food IN A FOOD COURT?!?!?!)...

The girls made some last min purchases... i was a good girl. i did not shop (much) during our trip. heehee. but only bcos i had spent heaps in Seoul the month before =PPP

~ Us. What can i say? I have gfs who LURRRRRRVE taking photos. hurhurhur. ~
