Trip to Phuket, Thailand ~ Patong Beach

Right after the kuching field trip.. there is another company vacation trip to Phuket for 4days 3 nites.. (12 – 15th August 2009)

All the expenses for the hotel accommodation and flight ticket are fully sponsored by the “Company”.. “Techsense Solutions Sdn Bhd”
hehehe.. the motto for this trip was “Free and Easy” – not accompanied/ bound to any tour guide or whatsoever ..

Day 1 ..

start at early morning 5.a.m ~ some of us had slept at the LCCT terminal itself, including me..
hahaha.. didn’t managed to get back home that nite.. as the flight from kuching was delayed.. and only arrived the LCCT-KLIA
after midnite.. ~ luckily the power port is available at the food court (got kfc in front of the bus stop for airbus),
can go update facebook and re-charge the phone.

the flight is suppose at 7.25 a.m , and we had to check-in 2hour earlier.. which is 5.25a.m ..
Hmm..
(someone forgot to make a wake-up call that morning…
so I ended up to bring along the spare kiosk-CPU unit from kuching to phuket.. *sigh* ~)

well.. the flight took about 1hour and 25minute..
and for Phuket , Thailand .. the timezone is -7 .
so..we departed from LCCT at 7.35a.m and up and arrived at 7.50am

9. Around 11.30 .. we managed to found our way to the said ‘breakfast’ restaurant..

  • Very beautiful picture, i love beaches in Phuket.I would like to suggest that The most suitable time to visit Phuket is from November to April, as there are no monsoonal rains during this period. The weather is good, the sea is beautiful and calm and diving and snorkeling trips to the surrounding islands is possible. Visitors should not forget to book accommodation 2 or 3 months in advance for the low season (May to October) and 4 to 5 months in advance for the high and peak season (November to April) as Phuket is popular year round, and tourists from all parts of the world come to visit.
