Nai Harn Beach

While heading down, my colleague make a stop at Nai Harn beach for a walk along the beach....and I spotted this:-

A foot print left by a stranger- LACOSTE!

Happy families and tourist having splendid time enjoying the view and calmness of the shore.

Okay.. it says no swimming here! It's alright, they are enjoying...

My colleague is taking a day off to take me around, very much appreciated indeed! She took me to Phong Phang Seafood at Palai Bay, Chalong for dinner after a stroll down Nai Harn beach.

Promthep Cape, Phuket

Promthep Cape, a headland stretching to the sea forming a south end of island forming a best spot for a perfect view of the sun disappearing from the horizon.

Stalls along Promthep Cape

Picturesque view

A tower to go up for an overview and also a four face Buddha statue in the middle of the park for worshiping.

Spent some time enjoying the scenic view and photo snapping at Promthep Cape and start heading down to Chalong for seafood dinner passing by Nai Harn Beach.

Evason Phuket & Bon Island @ Rawai beach, Phuket

My stay at Evason Phuket & Bon Island by Sixth Senses Resorts & Spas for business trip earlier this year. I supposed it was the second time staying at this hotel. A luxurious hotel indeed! Am happy that I was placed there.

The lobby lounge at the main entrance with four booth as reception/check in & out counter

Entrance of the hotel as if walking through a short tunnel then passing by a souvenir shop at the left and the business centre at the right. The souvenir shop offers special spa & personal care products.

Buggies ever ready- waiting at the entrance for guest to travel around the resort- to the pools and restaurants.

Checked into the room- Let's see what welcomes me! Yea- a beautiful welcome note by the resort. Something sweet fruits after the long day, booklets introducing the resort, menu, spa and personal care notes printed in orangy paper.

Guest what? I have just found out (after my Chiang Mai trip) that Six Senses Destination Spa Phuket supports the Elephant Conservation Center by using Elephant Dung Paper. - Environmentally friendly!

Cozy and comfortable room with four large cushion pillow and extremely soft comforters.

Huge bath room with two basins, one at the left and another at the right. Being crazy, I thought I should try using all of it and so, I brushed my teeth at the left basin in the morning and then at the right one at night! Don't laugh......

And also there is a huge tub with spa & personal care products provided. Nice!

Upon checking in, there is a little pocket size map provided by the hotel and each room is equipped with a torch light and an umbrella. If you don't wanna go on a buggy, do enjoy wandering around if you don't mind walking.

An appetizing plate of Pad Thai @ RM 40 - enjoy dining in the room with some Thai TV shows

Cam whoring before pampering myself with a spa bath.

Woke up early for breakfast at Into the View Restaurant with a breathtaking view of the Andaman Sea. A relaxing start before heading to the office.

Evason Phuket & Bon Island, Thailand, a 64 acres luxurious resorts set with beautiful landscape and beauteous Andaman sea view is definitely a recommended stay.

Amazing Thailand!! Phuket

Each time when I am flying to Phuket, it reminds me of my childhood. Yes, been there while I was 9 years old? Anyway, we used to travel very often to Had Yai & Southern Thai very often at that time, tagging along with dad while he traveled up North for business.

My recent visits are short, am planning to travel to Phuket again in 2011, a longer stay perhaps.

And of course, water activities!!- Have not been to any as yet!
Funny, ain't it? I was there twice in 2009 for business trip and once, in 2010 for holiday!

Popular water sports

Sailing
Yatching
Diving
Wind surfing
Scuba diving
Snorkeling
Swimming

One of the reason I like Thailand!! It's always easy to travel around with Tuks -tuks, Songtaews & taxis.

I shall see you again PHUKET!!
