Its Pronounced as Poo-Ket

A great holiday awaits me. yes i'm pathetic, ive never crossed beyond Malaysia and Batam, so Phuket its a big deal for me. No matter what it is i have a feeling this is going to be my best holiday yet, and i will savour every moment! gf has been complaining that ive not been blogging and so here i am. ive done a fair bit of research about Phuket and found some interesting information.
to start off, we are heading to a hotel in Patong Beach area, and that area is very overpopulated with people and overbuilt, hence, expect loads of jammed places and an overcrowded beach, but nonetheless, the shops along the long stretch should be a must-go. i think i really should avoid BANGLA RD. i wonder if there are actual banglas there. however, having read loads of websites that label that road as the equivalent of geylang Lorong but much more dangerous, i guess i will just have a peep at it.
they say if you want to escape the hustle bustle to a peaceful beach, they should head over a little south to Karon and Kata beaches that are beautiful yet peaceful. and a short trip to Phi Phi Island would be a great deal to snorkel as it is said to be cheaper.
Nonetheless ive got some rough prices of some activities to do there.
$1 = 26B
-One Day Diving Trip = 1600B to 2500B
-Canoeing = $98
-Mini Golf (36 Holes) = 250B
and some others that i cannot find the prices
-go kart
-game fishing
-rental car or jeep
-bungee jumping
-thai boxing
-elephant trekking
