Phuket 2017 – Final Notes and Such

Posted on 26 Dec 20179 Jan 2024   by CY

Our last post covering our December 2017 trip to Phuket. As is our practice in our family vacations, aside from an overall itinerary commentary, we normally also finish off with final notes and travel advice. Phuket has certainly changed quite

Phuket 2017 – A Child’s Perspective

Posted on 26 Dec 201727 Dec 2017   by CY

One thing we started during our Western Australia trip in June was to get our girl to keep a journal of things she sees and experience everyday. I reckon I’ll have to do something similar for Peter on our next

Phuket 2017 – Eat Till We Drop

Posted on 26 Dec 201728 Dec 2017   by CY

Ling and I really like Thai food. And we’re lucky in that in Singapore, there is wide range of options that suits all budgets when it comes to Thai food cuisine. Interestingly, the Thai restaurants here that we’re familiar with

8 Days in Phuket – Itinerary Retrospection

Posted on 23 Dec 20173 Sep 2018   by CY

Eight days in Phuket, and as we still have an hour to kill before hailing a Grab Car for our ride from Sino House Phuket Hotel to the airport, I wrote up a retrospective post on the itinerary covering what

Phuket – Sino House Phuket Hotel

Posted on 23 Dec 201728 Dec 2017   by CY

Our second place of stay for Phuket Dec 2017 is situated at the eastern side of the island – the opposite and western side of the island is where Patong and party creatures would gravitate towards. The eastern side doesn’t

Phuket – Day 7 – Ikea Phuket and Central Festival Phuket

Posted on 23 Dec 201728 Dec 2017   by CY

We finished The UpsideDown House, maze and tree house in less than an hour – as Ling quips, a pretty expensive 1,420THB/SGD 58 thrill where we would also have no absolute certainty that the pictures are any good until we

Phuket – Day 7 – The Upside Down House

Posted on 22 Dec 201728 Dec 2017   by CY

Our original pre-departure itinerary for Day 7 was centered around the Rawai area of Phuket: with a visit to Rawai Park in the morning, the beach in the early afternoon, and Phuket Seashell Museum for the rest of the day.

Phuket – Day 5 – Phuket Indy Market

Posted on 20 Dec 201713 Jul 2018   by CY

I’ll do a post on the places we dined at the end of our trip. But generally speaking, the eateries and restaurants’ menu prices around Cassia Phuket are a lot higher than those around Phuket Old Town so far. The

Phuket – Day 5 – Phuket Trickeye Museum

Posted on 20 Dec 20173 Apr 2018   by CY

We haven’t been to the Trick Eye Museum situated at Resorts World Sentosa yet, so figured that we could just as well make do with the Phuket equivalent of that. The museum is a convenient five minute walk away from

Phuket – Cassia Phuket

Posted on 20 Dec 20173 Apr 2018   by CY

There are a lot of places to stay while on Phuket island. Though now that we’ve spent five days on the island now at our first place of stay – Cassia Phuket – we’re again reminded that the general area

Phuket – Day 4 – Splash Water Jungle Park

Posted on 19 Dec 201713 Jul 2018   by CY

It’s been almost exactly a year since we checked out Wild Wild Wet @ Downtown East. The memories of our experience at the park still remained pretty fresh, which made comparisons between that and Phuket’s Splash Water Jungle Park inevitable.

Phuket – Day 3 – Phuket Elephant Sanctuary

Posted on 19 Dec 201728 Dec 2017   by CY

Many of us would have seen elephants before, whether it’s at a zoo or at animal shows in this part of the world – but unlikely in a setting like this. We visited Phuket Elephant Sanctuary (PES) on Day 3,
