Phuket Belle Resort, Savoey, Jungceylon and Night Market!

Finally heres the last part of our Phuket Trip!

The Belle Resort
Our Stay was a so called “Boutique Hotel”, being only approx HK$400 a night, it was unbeatable!
The place is clean, location is good and the staff was really friendly.  We had no complain about the place.
I didn’t take much pictures about the place….but from here and there from my photo album, you may actually get some idea about the place…

Some erotic paintings for men’s enjoyment …

The Savoey Restaurant
We had our last dinner at the – Savoey Restaurant at Phuket Patong.

The Char Grill Seafood Plate with lobster is just so so….

The rice plate was really good!! Forgot the name….but its on the Menu pictures!

After dinner…we went to the largest shopping mall at Phuket, the  Jungceylon Mall!

There is a night market around the mall…we walked around and it was really interesting!

 The thai milk tea was really yummy!

Thai Boxing Stadium…

Similan Island Snorkel Tour – 斯米蘭群島 – Phuket Thailand

After much decision with Pauline, we decided to go a bit further away from Patong the best Snorkeling experience!
Part of the reason is that the Similan Island only opens from November to May, given that the rest of the year there will be no visitor.

Similan Island is rated one of the top ten diving site in the world according the the National Geographic Society.
It is approximate 2.5 hours land and sea travel away from Patong and it consist of nine islands.

The trip was about $4000baht for 2 person with all transport, breakfast and lunch,
We will be picked up from the hotel and be send back to the hotel at 7pm!

We were being picked up from the hotel at 6:30am and send to the Tap Lamu Pier.
Tea/coffee and snacks were provided while we were waiting other tour member to arrive
It was about 1 hour 15 mins ride from our hotel…

We were then briefed about the tour and safety issues before we head on the speed boat.
This tour guide was so funny that he had made the boring demonstration so funny!

So this is our speed boat and we have arrived Ba Ngu Island (Island #9)

View of the island from the speedboat!

Oops, sorry for the waterdrop on the lens

 

Colorful fishing can be seen easier at the shoreline!

There is a camping site on island #9!

Lots and lots of Beautiful coral fish!

Then we had picnic at Island #5, I think… The pineapples were really nice!

More snorkel…

 

We were hungry when we got back to town at 7pm, so I got a Banana Nutella pancake for snack!

—————————————————————

After all, the trip was awesome! Even though we had to spend like 5 hours travel back and forth the island,
but there sure is enough time for snorkel and relaxation at the beach!

Oasis Spa – Phuket

The Oasis spa was my treat to Pauline as part of our Anniversary plan
Since both of us are very much outdoor person, I found the Oasis Spa that has open air spa rooms
and it sure will be the perfect choice for her and for me! 

Raise and shine! 

Since it is about 30 mins away from the busy Patong area, we have to take about a 700baht
tuk tuk ride to the Oasis Spa at Baron Beach area.
(tips: be sure to have the spa location map and the Phone number with you, those tuk tuk driver may not know the location well enough…!)

Filling up the information for our personal preference!

Our spa room!  We have chosen the “Paradise of Oasis” package,
they have provided us with a very good deal when we arrive, it was a buy one get one free deal!

Pauline enjoying the open air ambience

We liked the outdoor spa and it feels so good with the open air and sun!

It was a 4 hours spa session that comes with a stream, scrub, facial, body wrap and body massage!

Since our spa session is between lunch, Oasis spa has offered us a
simple yet delicious egg sandwich meal with chilled honey drinks!

After all, Pauline and I think the place was really nice and sure we will come back soon!

The Park Entrance! It opens till 2400 so its a perfect thing to do after dinner!

The dinosaur mini golf park was very well designed, with lots of interesting yet challenging holes!

All the dinosaur are real and was tagged so that you will actually learn while playing.
