we reached phuket at around 8am in the morning.
buggy made a poo so we had a toilet break before getting our passport stamped. and it was nine when we finally done.
it cost 200baht per pax via minibus and 900baht for a taxi to reach our hotel. we choose the minibus and the trip was about an hour plus. distance on the map do not look that far, but road of phuket are quite hilly and windy. we reached our hotel around 11plus.
we stayed at Kata Lucky Villa & Pool Access at kata noi beach area. after choosing for very long, this place has what both the hubs and i wanted.
i previously liked Arinara Bangtao Beach Resort due to it has a beach at the resort itself and the pool is just outside the room! but the hubs felt that bangtao area is pretty far from everything else. he like Avista Phuket Resort & Spa which i also like but its on a steep hill! we did not want to stay at patong area because reviews and feedback were that the area would be a little rowdy and with a small kid, we wanted somewhere peaceful and quiet.
so we finally settle on kata lucky which has pool just outside the room and no hill! kata beach is about 10-15 mins away but there is a shuttle to and fro every hour!
the manager was nice and allow us to check in early though check in time is at one. they said that it was because we have a baby with us. i think thats so nice! =)
this is the view outside the room! whee!!
it is a shared pool with 6 other units.
pool outside the room also mean that the hubs and i can have swim time while baby naps. =)
shortly after we check in, it started to rain. buggy was also starting to fuss a little cus she was hungry. she napped on the minibus so her mood was still considered good. we quickly made her milk and she passed out within seconds.
blur photo of buggy but apparently very happy.
..
anther blur photo of her happily crawling on the bed.
and this is her, 15 mins later, peacefully sleeping with her monkey keeping watch.
while buggy naps, we had lunch.
the food was not as good as expected.. =(
the tomyum was sweet and my favourite omelette was burnt.
the pineapple rice was ok though.
after lunch, the three of us nap till buggy's tea time. so groggy mummy woke up and made milk for her and realise its time to go out! the rain has stopped and we had plans to go to the phuket weekend market. we washed her butt, wipe her down and change her clothes.
SHOPPING HERE WE COME!
wait must take photo first.
these set of clothes is from aunty ju for her full month present so must take many photos! thank you aunty ju!
so cute the way she was holding her monkey.
it cost 500bht (~S$20) to go to the night market by taxi. the night market is like the chatuchak market in bangkok but maybe 10 times smaller? cus i have been to chatuchak market like 10 time but never been able to complete cover all the stalls? but the phuket market, we still was able to walk 2-3 rounds? hahaha..
sorry there is no photo of the night market cus i brought the wrong cam out.. the D70 was too big and too much to handle at such a crowded place with a baby in tow. and futhermore, i do not want to be robert toh. anyway the shops there are selling similar stuff but quality does differ. i saw a cute romper for kids. one has the elastic band right the middle of the clothing (not to nice i feel cus then the bottom will look very long) and the workmanship was poorer. the other one has a nicer elastic band slightly lower and stitches are neater though they both are offered at the same price. =)
we ate at this roast chicken stall. the chicken was marinated with herbs by the shop owners themselves. it has stuffing too! like a turkey but its chicken and the chilli was superb! sorry no photo again cus was busy feeding buggy. use your imagination ok?
we left the place at almost nine and went back to give buggy a bath.
happy buggy taking a bath with her papa.
love this photo =)
after buggy bath, we gave her milk and she went to bed shortly after. such a good girl right? i think the flight and travelling tired her out.
sleep time for her means play time for parents!
pool looking so inviting.
the neighbour at that corner unit kept peeping at us from behind their curtains.. i think they also want to come out and play but shy.. maybe they scare they too fat or something.. but they should see my disgusting flabby tummy then they would instantly feel better about themselves. lol.. anyway its better for us that they stay in the room, then we would have the whole pool to ourselves. hehehe
we had beer with the chicken from the night market earlier.
we could not finish the whole chicken and dapao back for supper.
i thought it would not be nice after it is cold but it was still nice!
and the nice aunty also gave us extra chilli to dapao. =)
i am also glad that i have stop expressing my milk..
SO MUCH FREEDOM!!
