Then prepare the things to go for photo shoot... today will be a long long day!!!
Ate breakfast then meet Pat ar 9.10am at lobby. At first he took us to elephant trekking.
The baby elephant was so funny, he will see us coming with the bananas then he grab the bananas from your hands. the elephant ride was very expensive - 900 per pax. i bargained from 1000 to 900 baht. i thought of going down further but the shop owner told us how pitiful the elephants were and their maintenance fee... make me feel very bad so we agreed on 900. But after thinking over... the 900 how much is being used for he elephant?? most probably they will pocket most of it ...
i think they thought Kai and I will take one elephant and Zw to take the other one... but like this how to take photos?? So Kai took the 1st elephant and both of us in the 2nd elephant... The elephant 好可怜. hahaha... the ride up the trek was very adventurous for both of us and the elephant... Cos the trek is quite steep, we thought the chair will topple over.. so we hold on to both side very very tightly... 好生不如死啊. then i started talking to the elephant and make friend with him and i named him DUMBO hahaha... people see us like we siao like that... Kai's elephant was pooing all over... not toilet train.. hahaha... DUMBO better.. will walk to one side poo... but he is very 贪吃 walk a bit then will eat the grass... By the time DUMBO is back to his shop, he was like panting liao... hahaha... We didn't take much photos as Kai wasn't able to stablise her camera, we did took some using our camera.
Then went to Karon beach. We changed money and brought some drinks there... the beach there is quieter. Then go up to Karon Viewpoint. it overlooks quite a few beaches. We took a few photos at the staircase as well as some of the points. We wanted to take at a certain angle but always got ppl around... so disrupting... but can't get the feel so we didn't take liao...
Next is Rawai beach. heard from taxi uncle that this place quite ok but reached there... there's nothing!! only boats... NOT NICE!! but we managed to take photos at one of its bar - Chocolate Bar... we brought some drinks from them and we took picture in its bar... but some of the drinks already expired... hai... no wonder no ppl at his place la... luckily we got see the expiry date. Went back to change and took some pictures with a boat then left. Kai sat in front cos if there is any place she want to take she can tell Pat to stop.
Pat brought us to Phuket shooting range but there's nothings for us to shoot.. so we left without going for any program... he wanted us to go for the snake show... but snake got what thing to see. next is lunch. he brought us to a place near the Phuket Zoo for makan... the makan there not nice and expensive!! maybe he can get commission for it which is why he keep on asking us to go to these type of places....
The places that we were brought to are not so good for photo shoot so... we talked to him telling him that we wanted to take photo - no shopping no show... but he is also quite pitiful.. only going for these type of places then he can get more money, more discount in petrol. so we told him we will go to a cashew nut factory to buy things then after need to bring us to places that is good for photo taking liao.. At the cashew nut factory, kai brought a lot!! hahaha i think she spent 1000 plus ba... me only brought a few packs of banana chips, ikan billies etc. Pat stopped by a petrol station to pump petrol... It is almost 300 baht imagine our whole day fare was just 600...
Finally Pat know what we wanted so he brought us to a Thai house... It is really nice... think some of it is still not taken up so we went to the balcony to take some. then there is a small car there.. some we took photos there too... but its fun... cos i am seated on the chair (relax) and Zhiwei is there jumping away (very siong).. hahaha.. luckily there is no traffic accident... hahaha.. Really.. only when you are not in SG then you can do a lot of crazy things...
We went back to karon beach to walk around and Kai brought a hat. We walked through the pub area and took some photos there... Next is Phromthep Cape to see sunset!!! Had a terrible experience in the toilet there... there were a group of tourist they went in the ladies together and made it very very crowd... they just push around... normally we will queue up to go into the toilet... they went straight past you and waited at other cubicle. so fed up with them.. had to squeeze through them However the weather isn't that good... can't see the sunset.. but its very windy and the sea there very beautiful!! Very soothing... but a lot of ppl... there is a slope going further down the hill... but too dangerous liao so we stay up in the hill... We waited around 1 hour plus.. not much signs of being able to see the sunset, we took a few photos and proceed to another area to take... there is a road where there are not so many ppl walking... we took some photos there barefeet.. (so eager to see these few photo) then went to a 街头艺术表演者 to take photo as well..
After that Pat brought us to the shopping mall, Jungceylon, in Patong. We went to food court for dinner but also quite expensive... 3 person with 4 main course 370 baht.. On the way back to back hotel, we stopped by a T-shirt vendor - kai brought 12 T-shirts from them.. but still no discount... we didn't buy any.. After that we walked passed by a massage shop, Emotions. The massage is very good at least for mine. so relax... so reluctantly we walked back to hotel after massage. It was quite close to our hotel!! next time must GO!!
We slept very soundly...
