Day 8:
Still at Patong beach. Strolled around Jungceylon in the afternoon and bought Star Trek tickets for the evening. Shopping at Carrefour for fruits. Bought the sweetest mango and apples. Beside Jungceylon, there's this Muey Thai stadium that is going to build ready soon. Soon, all the matches will be held there. Back to hotel. I was thrilled when there's a channel showing Guess Guess Guess((= Ate bread with basil chilli tuna. It's damn spicy and nice luh... Laid around until 6+, we got subway for dinner. 169 baht for a footlong. (arnd SGD$7). The difference between s'pore and thai subway is the freshness of the vege and the addition of carrots!
After that chiong to the cinema because we thought we were late, but not. there's 1-2 mins where all people have to stand up while watching a short film in respect for the king. The cinema looks just like Gv one.. but there are many flavours of popcorn and drinks. there are cheese corn, caramel corn, bbq and salty popcorn. and for drinks, there are differnet flavours of Fanta. Even for seats, there are deluxe, premium and VIP classes. Anyway, we just get the premium class which is very big and comfortable already.
Day 9:Today's gonna be our last full day already. Super sad~~ We left Patong Beach to Phuket town. We didn't want to waste our last day thus we kept walking and walking to visit different places. We checked in to Old Town hostel and headed for chicken rice again. Hahas! More shopping at Expo to bring back S'pore. Took bus to Big C Supermarket and Central Festival. Central Festival is like paragon mall, where things are very expensive. I go there also cant buy anything. Haha.. then walked to Big C. Very tired already. Feet were already very sore. 3rd time thai massage at Wandee(: Felt a little better. Dinner with green curry and phad thai at a restaurant where we walked past many times.
Day 10: Flight back to Singapore at 9.25am. Home sweet home at 12.45pm. I feel very fat now cos its always eating and eating. Hurr... Hhaaha... But I had a great time there, very relaxing... Didn't want to come back so fast. But well...
Haha.. this pic is very funny. lol

Day 6:Left Ao nang beach today for Phuket Town. Transfer from Ao nang to Krabi Town bus terminal, met up with Kat again (: then took another long 2 hrs ride to Phuket Town. Checked in at Old Town Hostel. This time, the rate is 400 baht for twin aircon room with common bathroom. Phuket has more shopping and more people than Krabi. Went for lunch at the popular Chicken rice coffee shop. The chicken is very different from S'pore chicken as they are very skinny, looks pathetic but tastier. The soup is very nice too. Which cost 35 baht only for each plate. After that, went shopping at Expo (: We bought quite some stuffs but I was very budget with my spending. Tried the dim sum at a coffee shop too. I realise their food portion is really very small. One bowl of noodle soup is less than half the size of the bowl. The dim sum is still okay, but small too. Haha... The fish is very nice but too little liao...
After that, went for thai massage at Wandee Massage, Kat's recommendation. I got the best massage experience that night out of the 3 times I patronised. The masseur was fantastic with her skills. She's the one in black shirt. My dinner at a road side noodle stall, had pork mee soup. Bb was fascinated by the ingredients from my bowl because it has the pig blood. I feel gross, but he just loves it. But they are very generous with their vegetables. Before we headed back to sleep, surfed an hour of internet at a internet cafe for 30 baht. (: I can play my restaurant city again!
Day 7:Early morning 9.30am, bb and I made our way for chicken rice again. somehow got addicted. Back to hostel to check out and adjourned to Patong Beach today! It was a quick ride, arnd less than an hr. Kat had helped us to book a guesthouse online. It was named Chan dee. The room's considered the best we stayed. With aircon, tv, toilet and balcony too. But the view not very nice.. hahas.. but its not impt. Bb wash a lot of clothes for us! Used his waterproof ocean pack to wash clothes. Only he can think of that. Hohoho~~ mwack. Walked to patong beach and WOAH... it's very big compared to the other I've seen. There was a hive of activity with parasail and jet-ski operators, boat drivers, beach vendors and masseuses all vying for the attention of the many tourists relaxing on the beach chairs. One day, I may want to try parasail too. Cool~
The sand is very fine and the waves just sweep the shoreline gently. It's a fine sunny day, but a bit hard on me. I got slight burnt on my face. Oh well.. Kat stayed on the beach for sun tanning, well prepared with bikini and music(: Bb and I left to visit the mega shopping mall 'Jungceylon' and then back to room. Kat left for Phuket Town awhile later. Jungceylon just has too many things. Musical fountain, world of sports, carrefour, hogs breathe cafe, subway, cinema, bowling alley, Robinsons, Watsons and many more. Bb and I are like movie-holic. didn't stop even having holidays. We caught Night at The Museum 2! It was nice but feels part 1 better. Our dinner are loads of bread from Carrefour!
After the show, we explored to the night life area. Very crowded at the pubs. Filled with tourists. Usual sight of an Ang Mo guy with a thai girl holding hands. Many discos and girls dancing. Bb keep asking me to dance like them so I can have hips like them :/
