Life between trips

Big Buddha The big Buddha is a huge Buddha on a hill and can be seen from afar from many places and is the icon of Phuket. The main statue was built in 2004 and is constructed with reinforced concrete and layered with white jade marble. It is currently still being built and has been constructing for the past 10 years. Next to the main Phuket Big Buddha is a smaller gold Buddha statue.  The temple has lots of these monkeys and be careful if you're carrying food or drinks. They will snatch your food from you.  As the big Buddha is located on the top of Nakkerd Hills. You can see panoramic view of the island. Karon Viewpoint The karon view point is called the three beaches hill. From this viewpoint you can see the Kata Noi, Kata Yai and Karon beaches. On the drive there, i can tell this area is a tourist hotspot. Its bustling with activity. The roads is lined with hotels, cafe and shops. I will definitely spend more time here if time is not an...

Usually at Phuket, they will take tours like Phi Phi or James Bond island. Upon further research, these 2 places are actually a little further out and we wanted a really chill trip. Hubby ideal case to start later in the day not ungodly hours like 5 or 6 am. Yup we are lazy night owls. Anyway base on research Hong by starlight seems really legit and the best part is they start later in the day! yay! We can have our awesome breakfast! Pick up time at 11.30 am and we are drop-off to a waiting location which is right just outside a shop selling swimming clothes dry bags etc. We waited for a bit which i was glad as it has been raining from the car ride to the gathering destination. But unfortunately the rain did not let up and we had to walk to the dock. At least its drizzling and not pouring. Lunch was served on board. The meal though simple is delicious. We are all seated on a banana boat to go into the Hongs (cave). Fortunately, you need not kayak your self the whole day....

The weather is hot! We are greeted and served a great welcome chilled drink upon arrival. Checking in is a breeze. 1. Great Food! While the location of this hotel is away from all the action. You won't have to worry about getting food. Breakfast was fabulous! We had an array of breakfast selections. Each meal i eat more than 1 breakfast set! On top of that we also have buffet selections. Breakfast with buffet on the left! And the surroundings for breakfast is super comfortable.  Buckwheat pancakes (left), Cinnamon french toast (above), Coconut waffles (below) are some of the delicious ala carte selections. My favourite dish for breakfast is this. Thai style bacon and eggs. Its really heavenly and yummy. I had this days in a row.   For dinner, there is a thai restaurant that serves fabulous thai food. And its has great ambience. Kha Norn Buang Ped - spiced coconut wafers with braised duck, logan and sweet basil and peanu...
