Graduation Trip (Phuket and Bangkok)

Just back from Thailand last night at 1050pm by air asia cant believe I saw another group of RP students also. Super coincidence right, they said they went to Bangkok on 23 Feb which is the same day as us however we didn’t meet each other in Bangkok until at the airport yesterday. This trip includes my doggy, PK, Zhi Liang, Alvin, Ching Yee (CY), CY sis (Ching Lee) and CY sis friend (Camie) and for Bangkok we have added two more BenKee and his gf. So total is 10 people.

Day 1 - Phuket (20 Feb)
We are suppose to meet at the airport at 11am as our flight is 1:05pm, however when I already in the taxi with my mom and zhi liang, PK sms us says that the flight will be delayed for 1h due to the Airshow. However most of us still reached the Changi Airport early by 11am most of us were there except PK and Alvin. After everyone reached, we went to the air asia counter to check in our bags then we went to have breakfast. Our breakfast include my mom, doggie’s mom, his friend and the friend gf.

After breakfast, it’s time for us to board the plane; all of us can’t wait to reach phuket though. When we reach phuket one of my company’s driver and guide came and fetch us up and the bus that arrange for us is the 42 seaters bus. Can’t you believe 42 seaters just for 8 people? After that we checked in to the hotel (travorn grand plaza) which is only 3min walk to my house and slack for awhile as we were super hungry thus we all went to KFC at the shopping centre behind the hotel, however it is a light one as my dad wanna treat them later. My dad treat them seafood though, dam nice especially the steamboat fish. Super shiok. That marks the end of day 1.

Day 2 - Phuket (21 Feb)
We woke up early to have breakfast; we had roti prata for it at the wet market behind the hotel with my dad again. After that we set off to CORAL ISLAND by van to the pier and we sat speed boat to the island from the pier. Reached the island no need to think much we all can’t wait to go for scuba diving. 6 of us went though as PK dun wanna dive and my poor doggy due to his health condition can’t dive. So sad though but cant help it. We went for 2 dives however we need to slip into 2 groups. As Alvin, CY and I have dive license thus no need to go for pool sessions, however the other 3 needs. Thus both of my dives were straight to the sea, even though a lot of coral die however there a lot of fish for us to see, the fish is not alone however is come in a pool of fishes, super nice scene to watch. The coral are big one however most of them already turn brown but got new one coming up. As usual I saw NEMO fish again.

After the dives we were all tired so we all rest at the beach and of coz what we do is to SLEEP, all fell asleep. After that we went back to phuket and went for PAINTBALL session, we had lots of fun shooting each other. After that we went back to the hotel to shower, suppose to go to temple with my dad however there no transport there thus cancelled and we went to eat western behind our hotel, the food price is super reasonable and we enjoy it. After that went to the shopping centre for awhile to buy some stuff then we went to Swensens to have EARTH QUAKE, it is an 8 balls ice cream combination. Before we left my doggy, Alvin, CY and Zhi Liang all steal the Swensen glasses from 7 on the table only left 2. Lucky the shop didn’t realized. End of day 2.

Day 3 - Phuket (22 Feb)

Due to the night before we were too tired thus we all woke up around 9+am, by the time we all get ready already around 10am, after that went to my house for while to settle the hotel money and also the coral island trip. After settle everything we set of for our half day city tour.

Before that went to fire crackers shop to buy fire works as Alvin and Zhi Liang wanna have fun on that last night in Phuket. First stop is some jewelry shop called Wang Talang, even though I didn’t buy anything however Camie did. Next stop to the most famous temple called Wat Chalong, to pray. Next stop to Leam Phromtep, the most famous view that can’t be miss when come to phuket. We took lots of photos there though, and zhi liang bough shark jaw from there. Next down to patong beach where our hotel will be, it is a world top beach.

We check in to the hotel first, the hotel called Patong Lodge. It is a nice hotel though and quite near to the beach. After checked in, it’s time for our dinner. We had SUBWAY for dinner as we can’t wait to have some fast food. We took about 30mins to reach there as it is quite a long walk and also we took photos at the beach. After that went to walk around at the night market, spend about 1½ h there then we walk back to the hotel. However my doggy and I had a quiet time at the beach. For about 1h also then we back to the hotel, however not long later we all came out to the beach again to put fireworks and later SUPPER. We had supper at MAC and we spend our time there like super long as we try to dig information from Zhi Liang on how he broke up with his ex gf. We play poker cards and we try everyway to makes Zhi Liang lose so that we will be able to get the information. We spend 3h there I think, about 11pm till 1 or 2 am then get back to the hotel and we continue our poker game till 5am in the morning, despite that we know we going to take flight to Bangkok later.

Day 4 - Phuket and Bangkok (23 Feb)
We all woke up around 11am and prepare to check out; we have our branch in the hotel and my best friend (BEER) came over to meet me at the hotel. Beer is rally driver and he raced car too. He bought one of his cool cars there all my friends all cant wait to see it. Alvin and Liang even ask for a ride, thus the guys went for a ride. Even though beer didn’t drive that fast but both of them were happy to sit in that kind of car. Hee hee.

After that we need to go to airport however on the way there we went to Beer’s shop to see another of his car, we are all so trill except me as I have seen his entire car collection though. Beer’s says wanna send my friends and me to airport, cool right got the race car drive for us. This time is the girls turn, super enjoy however I almost fell asleep inside the car as I think he didn’t he drive that fast though.

We reached airport, say bye to beer and we prepare to set off to Bangkok. We still as usual hungry, saw DUNKIN DONUT, we all rush to buy it and have a nice time eating them. We rest for while as we need to wait for Ben and his gf, thus we play poker cards again, that’s become our favourite pass time. When the two reach we all check in and board the plane.

When we reached Bangkok my god brother (P’Art) supposed to come and wait for us however due to the plane landed earlier we need to wait for him. However doesn’t matter we all can wait one. Then he send us to the hotel (Bangkok City Inn), 3* hotel of coz can’t expect much. After we check in, we went to have dinner at the central world, the biggest shopping centre in Bangkok. We had pork noodle, super nice though, traditional style. After that went back to hotel to rest as the next day we have a long day. I didn’t stay with them; I stay at my god bro house as it a manners lah need to stay with them as my god bro took the time off to spend with us.

Day 5 - Bangkok (24 Feb)
My god bro and I woke up around 930pm suppose to fetch my friends at 1030am but late as we too tired haha. Anyway fetch them up and we went for shopping as it is our shopping day.

First stop to JJ market, the weekend market that everyone must go as the things that are selling there is super cheap. I bought the following at the place:
1. 2 polo t-shirts
2. 2 t-shirts
3. Cosmetic Bag for JY and Sarah
4. 1 shorts
5. 1 long dress shirt

I think about there lah, next went to SUAN LUM night bazaar, went there just bought 1 skirt however found jeans for my doggy. After all the shopping suppose to go to my god bro restaurant to have dinner however we found out that his friend didn’t open the shop. So nevermind my god bro bought us to another the place, the food was north eastern food super nice and spicy. It is my god bro treat again. We a bit pai seh lah however I told them that no need to feel that way as it is a tradition in Thailand that Guest come Host pay. After the nice dinner, we went back to the hotel and shower as we will be going for pubbing later.

My god bro bought us to his friend pub, first on the list in vodka shots, as usual and that day our plan is to get PK drunk and our aim have fulfilled by Liang and Alvin. That night CY, CL and Camie didn’t go as they were too tired. Anyway the 7 of us enjoy ourselves a lot though, the music is SUPER shiok, makes all of us high. Hee hee. We end the night at 2am as we are supposed to go to pattaya the next day. However we need to push the pattaya trip to the last day due to some unforeseen circumstances.

Day 6 - Bangkok (25 Feb)
We went to Siam, to shop again however I didn’t shop much however just went to walk around. Our group split up, so I bought husky around the place. Also met up with my uncle, chat with him for awhile, and then we need to go back to MBK to meet up with everyone. Then we all went back to the hotel to wait for my god bro as my god bro family wants to treat us and it is seafood again. Hee hee. We did enjoy our dinner and after that went to my god bro restaurant and have drink and listen to my god bro sings. We as usual enjoy the chat and of coz we try to get PK drunk again however the drink is mix so the alcohol content not that much. About 1130pm we left as the next day we need to wake up early for Pattaya.

Day 7 - Last day of the trip (26 Feb)
Went to pattaya in the morning enjoy ourselves with the beach again just like phuket however phuket have a nicer beaches. Alvin, Liang, CY, CL, Camie, Ben and my god bro went for Jet Ski, I didn’t went with them as I dun wish to get wet. So stay on the beach and enjoy the wind.

Soon is time for us to leave and straight to the airport as we have plane to catch if not we will not be able to come back to Singapore.

We reach Singapore we were all like craze over liquor all keeps buying at the airport. That marks the end of our trip.
