.:: Sawadee Ka ::.
Harlow peeps! Greetings from Phuket!We have safely reached Phuket in the late afternoon today and for the past 2 nights we were at Hatyai. I was kinda miserable as there was no free WIFI over there... Almost gave up seaching for for free internet access.
Today, Yus & Ida headed to Cameron Highlands while we continued our journey to Phuket together with Zul's & Yazid's family.
We didn't make any hotel reservations and while the rest had their late lunch, Me, Bebeh & Zul were searching for a decent place to stay. One of the criteria was at least a hotel with a swimming pool for the kids as the beach isn't that 'healthy' for the kids... *winkz*
Went in and out of hotels and guest house at Patong Beach to ask for room availabilities & rates..till we found one newly built hotel known as Arita Hotel. Its not even a month old with cosy rooms and a roof top swimming pool. The kids are ecstatic as they were deprived from swimming pool at Hatyai... just like I was deprived from internet access over there! heehee!
Anyway, most of us have at least been to Phuket before the Tsunami hit the island on 26 Dec 2004. We seemed to recognise some landmarks but mostly the orientation has changed. Somehow, Phuket looked familiar but yet different...
We'll be staying here for at least 2 to 3 nights before deciding where to head next....and it feels so good to be back to the cyber world again!
