agirlwhoblogs: Phuket escapade

Landed myself in Phuket again and the best of all.. with my childhood best friends. The clear skies and blue seas, almost like a dream come true that I get to take a break and spend sometimes quality time with my best friends. We got to stay at The Westin and I would say they definitely maintain their standards being a 5-star hotel , equally good with my previous recent stay over at Cape Panwa but more facilities and perks. We get to drive around in buggy from one place to another because it is just simply too impossible to get places in the resort with walking. We took a really early flight and just in time for lunch when we check in. Car ride was looooooong.. rent a pretty comfortable and spacious van to drive us from the airport to Westin and that took us about an hour or so... besties tried Thai food and i was craving for peet-zah.

By the time we check in and get ourselves settled, it's already time for dinner. We took a ride to Patong Town. Patong is the busiest district in Phuket and it is probably the best place to stay for holidaymakers but we wanted a quieter place instead . those who want to see the colorful lifestyle and feel the heartbeat of Phuket really should consider living in the town itself. We headed over to the night market for some authentic Thai street food. No fancy restaurants but just living the life like the rest of the Thais made it really adventurous this time. We were so in love with the barbeque grilled corn and the coconut milk shake is something that i would die for. It is definitely fattening but ALL THAIs LOOKED THIN AND SLIM. We had all the spicy stuffs regretted a little and when we had our toilet runs cause it burns..

We had foot massages after shopping around the district and bought some tanks for my Mister. I was really full as I do not usually eat that much. We needed massages badly and i would say this masseuse is really good. I returned the next day and we somehow made a new friend. She , Miss Noy , was telling me about life, hardship, plastic surgeries, business and some private stuffs. Don't ask me why she felt so comfortable talking to me. We hung out till wee hours and have lots to catch up with. It made me realized somehow we have all have alot in common, in terms of independence, work and people that we've encountered. I'm thankful to have a bunch of best friends like them.

I'll let the pictures do the talking for now. Will certainly update my blog constantly!
