We are huge fans of Thai food. We took full advantage of the best Thailand has to offer during our stay.
There is a huge variety of cuisines to choose from across the various beaches on Phuket Island and inland at Phuket Town. We found that the best place to taste real authentic Thai food are some of the open air street side restaurants that congregate near most hotels and shopping centers. You can find bargain price seafood meals daily that features fresh catch from local fishermen. We tried a number of fish dishes, and none of them disappointed. Our favourite dish was steamed white or red snapper with lemon grass, which is served hot and spicy on a heated metal dish. There are also plenty of appetizers to keep you busy while you wait for the main course. As you could probably guess, most appetizers also feature seafood. Most […]

If you have time to bargain and has some basic knowledge about jewllery, do explore the dazzling selection of gold, silver, pearls and precious stones. They are readily available at all shopping centers and night markets. Be sure to ask for a certificate if the jeweller didn’t provide one. Personally, we found that pearls are great bargains, especially sea pearls, which are considerable more expensive in North America. For people who are looking for an engagement ring or wedding bands, you’re at the right place. Also for precious stone lovers, you’re in heaven.
If you are looking for clothing and silk, there are plenty to choose from. What we discovered was that their fashion sense is very well up to date, and the price is incredablly affordable. We bought everything from T shirts, jackets, caps, footwear to silk scarves (Ladies, get lots of silk […]

Beaches are nice, but Phuket Town is a very exciting place to explore. It’s about 30 minutes by car from the beach. You can get there by local bus, tuk tuk(taxi), scooter, motorcycle, or private car.
We rode the bus once. It was an interesting experience, and we enjoyed it. It’s very economic to travel by bus there. It costs less than 1 dollar(25 bhat) per person to Phuket Town from the beach and you can sightsee along the way. Its downside is slow and you have to wait for it by the street. It comes every half an hour. If you miss it, gotta hang around the beach for another half an hour. Image standing in the heat of 30 celsius plus humidity, hum..not very fun, or running for the bus in that kind of heat, which is what we did…huh..wishing […]

Sometimes, I think I might have been a photographer if I never made it to the programming world. I just love travelling and taking shots of just about anything. I used an Olympus E-500 digital SLR with a 14-45mm wide zoom lens and a 40-150mm telephoto lens for our honeymoon photos. I’m still new to using SLR cameras, but thanks to the beautiful scenery in Thailand. Some photos are amazing, left us with unforgettable memories of our trip.

Hey everyone long time no post from me. Firstly thanks everyone who continues to read, comment and write me. I plan on bringing you at least one post per week from here on in, except in hellish mid term weeks like the one I just got over. School has been going well, but it’s a lot of work.
I’ve been day dreaming about where to go next in class at least once a day. Where I would go, what I would do and what kind of pictures and stories I could bring home and post here. I’ve started to think about going back to South East Asia this summer, possibly Vietnam or even back to Thailand. The biggest restriction is the funds, I need to save up at a regular old student job for the first 3 months of summer, then on the last month go away without spending all of the summer savings.
Where would you go if you wanted to get away for 4 weeks and had a budget of say $2500-$3000 USD? I’d love to hear about ideas, as well as past trips that fit in to this category!
