Patong Beach on Phuket

Phuket

Today I would like to tell you all about my trip during golden week this year. I went to southern Thailand, to Phuket and the Phi Phi Islands. I will break this blog up into two blogs, as many things happened that I would like to share with you all.

Our flight to Phuket was at 6:30 in the morning, so we decided to go to the airport one day early. We arrived at the airport at 11:30 PM the night before our flight. We ate dinner at the airport, and tried to find a place to sleep. There were no seats left, so we went outside where you could watch the planes take off. We ended up sleeping there for one hour. However, it was cold and there were also mosquitoes, so we went back inside and try to find another seat inside. We ended up going to the domestic terminal to find seats. We took a nap for a couple of hours, and then it was 5 AM. At 5 AM, we went to check in. However, when we went to check in the computer did not recognize our reservation number. We were really worried. We kept checking our ticket, and then we realized that we were at the airport one day early. We were a little disappointed, but we also thought it was funny. We spent the night in the airport for no reason. After that, we went home and took a nap. That night we ended up staying at a hotel near the airport, so we didn't have to sleep in the airport again.

The next morning, we left for Phuket. When we got there, we took a bus, or rather a van, to our hotel. It was about one hour away. When we got to the hotel, it was really nice. We stayed in Patong beach. However, I wouldn't really recommend this area unless you like partying. We didn't know that when we went there. We wanted to relax on the beach, which you can also do an Patong, but it's mainly for going clubbing and drinking.

For the first two days we went around the Patong area and did some shopping and we got couple massages. They were really nice. It was very relaxing. We also tried many different kinds of Thai food. Be prepared if you go to Thailand though. A lot of the food contains cilantro, which is パクチー in Japanese. Many Japanese don't seem to like cilantro so it might be a problem. Lots of the food is spicy too, so if you don't like spicy food it might be difficult.

After two days in Phuket, we went to Phi Phi. I will talk about Phi Phi in my next blog.
