Phuket in 2014
Phuket was fabulous. The BF did it in style this time, we stayed in 3 different luxurious resorts and got upgraded to suite in 2 occasions. Our predicament of falling off the motorbike (yes, our mode of transportion was a scooter. Was nice at first, after a while, my butt start to hurt and my Fendi shades flew off my face while on the way to Khao Lak) at the entrance of The Sarojin and me spraining my ankle at JW Marriott Khao Lak when we went for dinner could not beat how amazing this trip was.
This trip, we explored two specific areas; north of Phuket and Khao Lak. We were hoping to do some snorkeling at Similan but turned out we had too short of a time. We snorkeled at Banana Beach instead and it wasn't disappointing at all. Me being a non-swimmer and a huge chicken in the water, I managed to master it and enjoyed it very much. I would do it again.
The first resort we stayed was JW Marriott Phuket. The resort had myriad of activities, we went for hatha yoga class and then cooled off at the beach. I had tummyache from the lunch though.
JW Marriott Phuket's Mai Kao Beach. Water clear as crystal.
Marriott's ocean front suite proved to be an amazing room; hot tub at the balcony and another in the bathroom.
Angry-looking turtle, it's a mosquito coil container.
We traveled upnorth the next day. Before starting the journey, we went to Banana Beach for a snorkelling crash course, BF was concerned as I have never done it before. Scared like shit at first but after a while, I mastered it and enjoyed it very much.
It took us about one and a half hour to reach our next destination. The second resort we went was The Sarojin, we got upgraded to the Palaphan Suite.
Entrance to the Palaphan Suite.
It felt like home, the moment you walk in.
My kind of bathroom, too bad the rainshower didn't feel like a rainshower.
The swimming pool was gorgeous. And breakfast was all-day and you can go eat as many times as you can. Too bad we only stayed there for a night. I like the fact that they don't allow guests below 10 years of age to stay there.
Sunset at Khao Lak Beach. Gorgeous.
It was an open concept, our bed faces the private pool, we had a hot tub at the other side of the villa. The rainshower was great.
Elephant ride. Bumpy and nice at first, Got bored after 10 minutes. We trekked through a rubber tree plantation and ended up at a small waterfall.
It looked like autumn at some part of the elephant trek.
Baby elephant at another elephant camp. The BF made sure I meet one when I said I would like to see one.
