a sunny journey in phuket

Last sunday was a perfect sunny day to hang out.
We decided to go to several places in Phuket, well, actually it was an unplanned trip, because i just got a call from my friend, and she invited me to go out together.

we met at 12:30, when the sun is exactly above your head. Lon mak mak (ref: very very hot), and we stopped for a lunch in Chao Fa East Road, a plate of delicious chicken PhadThai from a noodle restaurant there, "Pah Teaw VIP Noodle Restaurant (since 1943)".


you should not miss the great coffee stop either, just in front this noodle shop, owned by the friend of my friend. 40THB for a fresh ice espresso, and other coffee menus.


after a short chat in the coffee stop, we continued the Sunday's trip,
Chalong Temple!
Thai people believe the 1st place that need to be visited by the visitor for their 1st trip in Phuket is this temple. the believe says that it would give them the good luck.
well, it is quite late for us, since we have been here for almost 4 months and it was the 1st time we visited the Chalong temple.
But anyway, we were amazed by the beauty from inside and outside the temple.. superb!





next! the Chalong Pier ! another beautiful spot :)


a very short stop in the pier, then we moved to Promthep Cape. People said, it is the most beautiful spot, and yes! it is!!






the last stop of the day was in Phuket Old Town. we tried to find the Phuket museum there, but well, it was almost close. so, we decided not to go.
Phuket Old town has a elegant atmosphere, the style of Sino-Portuguese colors all the way there.
