Flight to phuket was supposed to leave at 2040, but due to flight delay we departed at 2115. This is the first time that I took jetstar and experienced a delay; my previous flights with jetstar to taipei, hong kong, bangkok were all fine. Anyway on the flight, I was pondering about what type of airline to take to seoul. On one hand, me and my mum want to save money, so we were considering airasia, but then i was thinking since singapore airlines had promo, why not take it to seoul, it takes fewer hours, no stopover, has inflight entertainment and good food as well.
We arrived at phuket (HKT) don’t know what it stands for, at 10pm local time. I was quite pissed with the customs official because he decided to close the counter when it was going to be my turn next and asked me to queue at another lane. what an ass. When we went out of the arrival hall, we were approached by touts offering to take us to our hotel on their taxi for a fixed price. I read online about these and decided to ignore them. However, the others went to the counter and soon we were attracted by the different types of adventure tours that they offered. The person even told us that the taxi fare from the airport to the hotel can even be included in the package.
After much haggling and discussion, we settled on two separate day tours, one was out to sea and the other in the forest. The price that they gave us was quite reasonable, the child price as indicated on the brochure, so it was much cheaper already. After paying for the tours, I had used up 90% of the thai baht that I had brought.
So the taxi sent us to our hotel, Hallo Patong which is located near Patong beach. It is a small hotel, but I chose it because it had one of the better reviews on traveladvisor. The exterior had just been repainted, the room looks new and clean. There were 2 towels folded in the shape of swans laid on the bed. We put down our stuff and then went down to explore the ennvirons and have supper at the same time.
We walked down the stretch of road from our hotel, passing by pubs with live bands and some street food stalls were packing up for the night as it is close to midnight. We had mr kebab for supper as the smell attracted us and we did not want to walk too far. The stall was located opposite a nightclub/bar, although it was a wednesday night, the bar was so empty and only a handful of thai girls were dirty dancing on stage. We walked back to the hotel after supper to retire for the night as we had to get up early the next morning for our tour.
