What Patong Beach is first famous for? The beach off course! I’ve posted quite a number of Phuket travel stories so far but I still haven’t posted much things about the beach itself. This is it: The Patong Beach, the beach itself. We reached Phuket and Patong in the morning, had our first look at Patong Beach and had our first lunch at Jungceylon shopping mall. After lunch, we walked around the town to get some feel of the environment and local culture, and we headed back to our Safari Beach Resort for a brief nap…. zzzzzzzz.
In the late afternoon, we went out again. This time we were walking down to the beach, just across the Beach Road in front of our hotel (this is the best part of Safari Beach Hotel which situated in front of the beach and next door to Bangla Street). Have you ever experienced this: You thought of going somewhere or buying something on travel but you did not do it in the first place and you started to say to yourself, “Nevermind, I still can do that LATER”? And what would happen next? You would never have the 2nd chance to do it! It happened to me on my Gold Coast travel where we thought of going back to see the sunset at Surfers Paradise on our last day but we failed eventually as bad traffic delayed our way back from Hinterland and it was already night hours when we reached home…
So, whatever you think you want to do or see or buy on travel, DO IT IMMEDIATELY or you’re going to miss it! Same with our fun hours at the beach of Patong. If we delayed to go to the beach on our first day in Patong evening, we were going to miss the best evening sunlight in Patong as there were too cloudy to see sunset on the rest of our days in Phuket!
I love the late afternoon sunlight at Patong beach. The beach was so attractive under it…
While many tourists were sunbathing under the sun, there were many other activities going on the beach.
Beach parachute ride is a famous activities at Patong Beach.
We were doing something else…. crab catching!
Jetskiing is another favourite sport on the beach.
Love sunlight, lovely wife… 
Beach soccer is among the local favourite sport on the beach. There are a lot of Thai soccer talents out there…
An illusion of moving sand after wave tides, one of my favourite shot.
Beach chairs could be rented for sunbathing and there are also best for people watching!
Singha Beer on the beach! Lovely!
The best part on the beach of Patong: visitors were served with complimentary Starbucks coffee! Wonderful! I couldn’t find any of this in Malaysian beach. Can you?
An unique feeling of tasting coffee on beach!
Though evening sun is bright, scattered clouds blocked parts of the sunset unfortunately…
The best dusk scene I could captured on the day in Patong Beach. The sun set at 7pm and we left the beach for our first dinner in Patong! What we did at night after dinner? Exploration on the Bangla Street, the most happening street in Patong and Phuket!
Don’t miss my upcoming stories on Phuket travel. I will try to wrap up the whole story of my travel to Phuket before this May. Why? In May I will write and concentrate more on my exciting short 14-day tour to Western Europe!

If you are visiting Malaysia, one of the top places to go in Malaysia should include the Langkawi Island in northern Peninsular Malaysia. What can you see in Langkawi? Other than beaches or Perdana Gelleria, the next hot spot to go must be this crocodile farm. In fact there are not much things you can see in Langkawi but this farm surely worth a visit. Langkawi Crocodile Farm or Taman Buaya Langkawi in Malay is a 20-Acre-Land featuring over 1000’s of crocodiles in various species and also alligators, in a few separated man-made ponds.
I went there last year on my company trip to Langkawi. It has been 10 years since my last time there and there are still reasons to revisit this island.
After paying RM8 entrance fees, visitors could explore the garden the way you like freely. The main pond is the biggest with pedestrian bridge built over it.
Visitors could walk slowly on this bridge overlooking many crocodiles doing all sorts of activities resembling their real lives.
The environment within this 2o acre compound is very nice, comfortable, clean with lush greenery.
Wow, look at that! What’s the species of these crawling crocodile?
Further strolling down the walking path, we came to the show pond. No seating provided, visitors have to stand around the stage to watch the ‘man vs crocodile’ live performances.
There are 2 ‘old’ and tamed but big crocodiles in 2 small ponds. First of them came out of water to start the show…
Why is he opening his big jaw with sharp teeth? Any prey around? The audience?
Oops! He actually just woke up and waiting his teeth to be brushed!
Simple action. The crocodile went back into the pond to sleep again after that. Lazy creature…
Now. The highlight of the day came. The second giant crocodile is coming!
Anaconda?
Water being sprayed onto her rapidly as she was crawling up. A hot tempered one I guess…
Dang dang…. dang dang… dang dang…..dang dang….
“Hi! How are you? Stay your head up will you?”
“Don’t move babe! I’m on your back…”
“Freeze!”
“Oh no! She is opening her mouth! Run! Guy Run!”
“Don’t worry! Superman is here… ”
“Err… let me test whether her teeth or my arm is stronger… ”
It’s more than 4m in length! Ladies and gentlemen, the show is over.
We continued to walk through the bridge over pond.
Wondering what are they doing? Sleeping? Chatting? Playing? Dying?
It suddenly rained. Look at them! They are alive! They definitely love rains!
We came to another pond. Oh no! These crocodiles are not friendly at all! They are looking for preys! They are mouth watering…
Oh I see. This is the feeding pond where crocodiles who are starving will crawle to here to look for real food, fresh meat. Only difference is there are served by trainers.
“Bye bye! Food’s finished! Not full enough? Try to be stronger next time!”
Other than that, visitors could also find a restaurant and a souvenirs shop inside the Langkawi Crocodile Farm. For RM8 per entry, you can spend your time there from 9am to 6pm. We stayed there for one and 1 half hour and that should be enough unless you are having lunch there or wandering in the souvenir shop. “Is it worth to go?” Should pay a visit if you haven’t been there before. “Is this post worth to read?” Must subscribe to my Feed via RSS or email if you haven’t done so! – Travel Feeder, the ultimate travel photo blog

Happy Lunar New Year of Tiger again! Sorry if you think these are too much but I just couldn’t resist myself from posting more photos of this new year celebration. If you happened to be here in Malaysia as a visitor, you must have seen all these decorations in Kuala Lumpur during this festive season. If you are not, you might still have seen these in the TV or over the internet as part of the decorations around the world where there are Chinese to celebrate. If you haven’t seen anything like these this year, here are some beautiful decorations for this lunar new year celebration in Kuala Lumpur Pavilion shopping mall. Be the one to celebrate with us during this festival!
Being the latest addition of megamall in KL, Pavilion has dumped in plenty of money to decorate its premise during lunar New Year of Tiger.
I just couldn’t choose the best to post it here, so I posted them all! These shots are about the hanging lantern decoration at the main entrance.
Also this….
.. and this…
This is the last photo. Enough?
You should have seen this crystal bowl fountain display at day. This is how this Feng Shui bowl looks at night with colourful lighting…
It changed to green colour after a while…
… and now is blue colour…
… and purple colour also…
Crystal bowl fountain? Yes. It’s really a fountain…
These bowls is situated in the middle of the main entrance of Pavilion. You can also see those hanging lanterns behind it.
What a roaring New Year of Tiger!!
All these decorations have made me think of my trip to South Yangtze China.
Red lanterns for prosperity in Chinese belief.
Pavilion has now turned into Xin Tian Di of shanghai!
Am I in China?
Plum blossom or Mei Hua (梅花) is the national flower of China and we can see them in Pavilion KL now!
Before I leave, just another 2 shots on red lantern. Wishing you good fortune and prosperous this year!
I like the mood of this photo.
Last but not least, booths in conjunction with Lunar New Year are set up at the basement lobby. Visitors could shop for some Chinese New Year souvenirs.
That’s all again folks! Happy Chinese New Year. Another short post as I’m still busy celebrating this roaring new year for the 5th day now. Cheers!
