Touched down at Changi airport last night as kai xin, yong xi and i returned from the relaxing holiday at Phuket. It was a fun and exciting trip with plenty of action and not to mention, travel insurance claims. Fortunately, the claims were for minor illnesses, so not that bad.
The pictures are not with me at the moment, so cant post any of it yet. Would be interesting to do a day by day account, but rather sum it up in a post or two.
Thanks to melvin's Thai friend, Dao, who lives in Phuket, we were able to get discounts off for makan, diving and most importantly, where to get good local food. We even went to Krabi on a road trip on Sunday, where yongxi and i slept most of the time in the back of a truck, which is enclosed and air-conditioned. Thank goodness for that!
Spent most of the time on the beach, getting some sun and a bit of a tan, just a tiny bit of tan as i was using 70 spf sunblock, which is very water proof as the seawater just rolls off and the remaining water are like crystal beads on my body. Yongxi and Kaixin got noticeably tanned... although kaixin looks more like malay now. =P
Went for a dive too! A day at the dive spot and 2 dives were made. I saw, for the 1st time: giant trigger fish, moray eel, mantis shrimp, pacific lionfish, barracuda, garden eel, nudibranch, transparent cleaner shrimps and puffer, box and porcupine fish! Not to mention a very close encounter with a turtle, think leatherback, which just swam past in front of my face, so close that i could have touched it if i reached out. =D
Well, will update again with pictures once i get them! =D
