It’s been a cultural and sandy beaches trip to Phuket.

With the promotion Air Asia flight ticket of MYR144 roundtrip, I traveled to Phuket with hup early March 2009. Yes, just the 2 of us alone. But, the journey was not lonely, we met new friends from Israel, Greece and Canada.  Then, I gain experience of not travelling in a group.

Phuket, the southern pearl of Thailand.  It’s the biggest island provice of Thailand.  Flight from Kuala Lumpur LCCT takes 1 hour and 15mins.

Conversion between THB to MYR is to divide by 10. For example, MYR1 equals to THB10.

For the 1st 3 nights, we stayed in Mook Anda Place Hotel.  We spent the last 2 night at On On Hotel, the first hotel in Phuket (and Leonardo DiCaprio slept here before?).

As usual, below is the detail journey of each day.
