Phuket Bike Week 2016 (Part 4 - end)

9-April-2016, Saturday
Woke up around 10am, we are ready to go back, not enough time to really enjoy at Phuket due to short stay... For the return trip, we decided to follow Krabi --> Trang --> Phattalung --> Hatyai --> Danok

First stop after departing from hotel, some famous dim sum shop in Phuket, 7 person on our table, and we only ate ~50 basket of dimsum....

Around 12pm, we started our journey again, and next place, emerald pool, Krabi....

Entrance fee @ 200 baht, and u need to walk around 800m from the entrance to reach this first pool, and there is another blue pool ahead, with another 800m, but sadly it was closed at 3pm, we arrived there around 6pm....

Departed from this beautiful pool around 7pm, and with only 4hrs left before Msia border close, we have no choice but to overnight at Danok...

There's all for my first time long distant ride in Thailand, and looking forward for next ride....

Phuket Bike Week 2016 (Part 3)

8-April-2016, Friday
Woke up around 10am, and we gathered at the lobby again to decide the next destination (this trip was free and easy where no fix itinerary). After having lunch at nearby restaurant, we started our sight seeing.
The itinerary agreed was "some beach, Big Buddha, some port, etc"

Before we started our sight seeing, one of the bike having tire puncture, and there, the birthday boy aka the owner of the workshop, have to work even during the holiday trip.

With the rented scooter, first destination, some beach alongside the route...
Nothing much for me to snap photo, not much interesting sight.... but the sea water is crystal clear....
After stop for awhile, with few beers, we cont to the Big Buddha.
Bla bla bla.....

After the day sight seeing, we back to the hotel for some refreshing bath, and continue to the bikeweek on the evening...

Phuket Bike Week 2016 (Part 2)

8-April-2016, Friday early morning
Even though we arrived around 12am (Thailand time), after tiring ride from Alor Setar, but our heart told us, the night still young... Without further delay, after cleaned up ourself, few gather at the hotel lobby...
After few consideration on the traffic, our body tiredness, and safety of the parking, we decided to rent scooter, instead of taking our own bike. This hotel do provide scooter rental, @ 250baht/24hrs.
They allowed us to return the bike on the next midnight, why not...

After refueling at the roadside (not petrol station, only those kiosk selling petrol in bottle, cost us 40baht/bottle), we headed towards the beach, to confirm the location of bike week, which was located nearby the famous Bangla Road. After got our scooter parked, which cost us another 20baht, we went to explore bangla road, before hunting for food (remark, last proper meal eaten was noon, and only had bread during the break). There are lots of bar alongside the bangla road, with tonnes of chicks performing pole dancing, but i'm too hungry to enjoy those.

After filling our stomach, we start to explore again the bangla road...
Together with us, 3 single guy, and 2 married couple... my instinct told me, we have to separate from the married couple, in order to enjoy the nitelife of phuket..

At the middle of bangla road, there is one junction with 2 rows of shop facing each other, which those "go-go" pub located. Having some reading on such pub, we decided to separate from the married couple...
First pub we went was "Exotic", the waiters outside showing us only need to spend 99baht for a small bottle of beer, in order to enter the pub and enjoy the show, or you can choose to "test-view" it for few second before decide to enter... kindly refer the link to self-read further....
