3rd Wedding Anniversary in Phuket, Thailand

28 May

We are having a good time in Phuket, South of Thailand. It's our 3rd wedding anniversary. I bought a package from Thailand Tourism a year ago at Patong Paragon Resort and Spa for 3days/2nights = 6,600baht($us220) including 2 ABF and Round Trip Airport-Hotel Transportation but we stayed longer than that at another place by the beach. I really love the view and the room of this resort. Room is clean and quiet. The staffs are very polite and have a very good customer service. We bought a pool access room which I can have my own entrance to the pool whenever I want to jump into the water :) The resort is located right by Patong Beach. You just walk across the street but it’s far to walk to “Bangla”

Bangla is an entertainment street where there are so many pubs and restaurants, shopping areas and night life. We visited there just to have something to eat and back to the resort. At the end of Bangla Street has a department store called “Jungcelon” We walked in for a fresh air con hahaha! Sooooooooo hot! Gosh!

We bought a flight ticket from Bangkok Airways. They have a promotion right before we left Bangkok. We spent only 5,700baht ($us190) for 2 person/round trip. Wow! I’m sure normal ticket price is more expensive than this. Bangkok Airways also has a very good service. They allowed you to use their lounge while you’re waiting for boarding. There are snacks and drinks available.

We took a one day and half day tour for sight seeing and swimming. We chose a speed boat for our tours. It was a great price for all of these tours. I’m very impressed. They didn’t charge us like they have the price in the brochure. There are so many counters selling sight seeing tour everywhere we walked.

We do a canoe tour, snorkeling, visiting many islands such as James Bond Island (where The James Bond Movie was filmed here) and Khai Island. I love spending time with my husband.

Talking about transportation in Phuket,of course, it’s more expensive than Bangkok. The taxi and took took will charge you minimum 200baht to start your journey. We paid 1,000baht to visit 3 beaches and a cape which I think it’s very reasonable price. The food was little bit higher. I felt bad because I knew how much each Thai food costs in Bangkok but I just have to live with it. It’s a Tourism Place. I expected that everything will be more expensive than in Bangkok.

Well, this trip made us happy. We would love to come back to Phuket in the future. My only problem is I got too tan skin now.

Thank you for reading

    That was an incredibly cheap trip Sonnee and the hotel looks wonderful.I have never been to Phuket because its too touristy ,the closest we have been is Ao Nang and the prices aren’t as expensive.Thinking of a trip to Ko Samui in December l have been before but my husband and son haven’t,what about the prices there have you been?

    Thank you Pauline. Wow! 35 years of marriage! Very impressed. I’ve never been to Samui but I know the price is more expensive from what people said, especially, during December. I hope you have a great day.
