This travel photo was taken in Kuta Beach, Bali. I love this photo as the deep blue sky and vibrant setting evening sun had created such a beautiful scene for photo hobbyist like me. Kuta Beach has one of the most beautiful beach that I’ve ever been to and it reminds me of Patong Beach of Phuket. Both beach towns have many identical characteristics such as long sandy beach, happening nightlife and also shopping heaven. Read my series of posts on my travel experience in Bali for more interesting stories of Kuta Beach.

Again, this travel photo wallpaper calendar is free to download from here and there are more wallpaper calendars for other months coming up next.

Do you fancy eating lobster? A lot of people do and all of those many seafood restaurants in Patong are selling lobster. There are 2 types of lobster displayed for patron’s selection: dead or alive! Dead lobsters are off course much cheaper. Another factor deciding the selling price is the restaurant. Some are selling dead lobster for 180THB per 100 gram while some are offering 120THB per 100 gram.

Lobster display

This is a photo taken on the lobster display counter in front of Savoey (our Safari Beach Resorts‘ famous seafood restaurant). Look at the price tag. Dead lobsters are selling for 200THB per 100 gram! So 1 medium sized lobster should cost you around 2000THB or USD60! We didn’t try any there as we prefer eating prawns more than lobster.

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.

Patong beach2

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…

Patong beach4

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…

Patong beach5

While many tourists were sunbathing under the sun, there were many other activities going on the beach.

Beach chairs could be rented for sunbathing and there are also best for people watching!

Patong beach12

Singha Beer on the beach! Lovely!

Patong beach13

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?

Patong beach14

An unique feeling of tasting coffee on beach! :)

Patong beach16

Though evening sun is bright, scattered clouds blocked parts of the sunset unfortunately…

Patong beach17

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!

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 [...]

Sounds like a devotee? Yes. Temple after temple on the 5th Day of Chinese New Year (年初五). We went to TianHou Temple, the biggest temple in KL after brunch (Malaysian slang: Breakfast and Lunch together!), and visited the Taiwan’s FuoGuangShan (佛光山) initiated DongZen Temple after dinner. It was actually planned by me. If you have [...]

It’s coming! Another 2 months and I’ll be in London! A big round of applause to our budget airline AirAsia, which had encouraged me to travel to Europe again after 12 years. I’ve booked my air tickets 3 months ago and I finally have my first Western Europe tour itinerary drafted recently. The whole idea [...]
