Travel ~ Phuket 20060621-20060627-Ⅱ @ Miao's world

Fifth day~ 6/25

This day is Henrik’s birthday; we decided to go to PP Island by ferry. We took 2 hours ferry to PP, and put down everything to the beach. This was my second time been to PP, but it was so different between these two times, the first time was before Tsunami; the PP island after tsunami becomes quiet and peace, just it has to pay a lot of things to make it. I feel the beach is clearer than before. Maybe because of me that I didn’t finish my lunch last day, so the weather wasn’t very good in this day. We had almost whole night rain. We couldn’t do anything, just found a restaurant for dinner and the world cup, but because everybody was too tired to finish this game, so we returned to hotel to finish second half. Sorry to Henrik, we didn’t really have a wonderful birthday party for him. For my flight schedule, although they want to stay PP more days, but we couldn’t, we just stayed in PP for tonight.

Sixth day~ 6/26

In the morning, the weather wasn’t really bad, we went around street of PP, but we didn’t have much time to take boat taxi to around other beach of PP. We took ferry back to Phuket at 2 pm. We went for nice dinner for my last night in Phuket and also for Henrik’s birthday, although it was a little bit late. After dinner, we went to a bar to watch the world cup again, it was really exciting game for Australia and Italy, then went to disco and drunk a lot.

Seventh day~ 6/27

This was my last day in Phuket, even I went to bed around 3, but I still woke up at 8. After I picked up all my stuff, I walked alone to Patong Beach, actually I want to buy a cup of Starbucks, but there just sell mug cup, but it is too easy broken to take it back to Taiwan, so I gave it up. The Patong Beach is really nice in the morning, there is quieter than afternoon and night. I’m really enjoy the feeling, if I have enough time, I would rather to take a slowly walk on the beach, but I didn’t. My flight was at 1 pm, I had to leave before 11 am, Beer came to pick me up back to hotel, because I wanted to have a breakfast with them. They already waited for me, I had really nice one, thanks~ my friends. Then Henrik helped me to put everyone's photo together, and burn two CD to me, I really like the photo these are full of our memories. The pity is I couldn't say goodbye to everyone face, because Beer, Peter and Nadine went to the laundry, and the mean bus driver pushed me a lots, he didn't let me stayed longer, although I know he may be worry I would miss my flight, but it let me feel sad. Thanks Henrik and Paul saw me off. So I left alone to airport by bus, but the driver stopped the car in the half way, and asked me to change another car as like taxi one, I think maybe just only me passenger that he doesn't want to waste time; I just spent $150 baht, but I can take the car that costs $500 baht, I think this is the only good thing for me.

As my flight from BKK to TPE, I thought it would be flying directly, but after we arrived in HKG, I just found out I have to stay in HK for nearly 1 hour. This is my second time transfer flight in HK, HK airport is really nice one, there is very clean and also has a lot of duty free shops there. I can remember when I flew back from NZ, I bought a Starbacks in HK airport; so this time I also went to buy a Caramel Macchiatto, and waited for boarding time. Thanks EMI came to pick me back to home.

This trip is my first time to try this kind of way for trip; if I were alone, I think it is hard for me to have this kind of night life in my trip, so it is a new experience.

Thanks to Beer and Peter, they help me to bargain a lots, that we wouldn't buy something expensive, when you travel in Thai, you do really need a Thai can translate and bargain for you.

Thanks to Nadine and Paul, they are very kind for us, and also are very good traveling companions, I really had good time with them.

Thanks to Henrik, he could be a half Thai, and he knows Phuket better than us, I think he can be a guide in Thai very well; and he knows the night life in Phuket a lots, but it's so pity, we haven't seem "Banana Show", after Henrik knew that could be Lady Boy Show, he doesn't want to see the show anymore.
