Night at Phuket Island

It has been quiet sometimes I have not updated this blog but doesn't mean that I am not here.

Just to share my trips to Ayuthaya, Thailand on 4x4.
Our next destination is Phuket and it took us almost 3 hour from Phang Nga to reach this famous island in Thailand. As we know that this island has been hit by Tsunami in year 2004 and we wanted to see changes on this island after more than 4 years tragedy. We were also planned to visit Siti Aishah's house (the 7 Generation descendant of Mahsuri Legend) and hope to get new stories about this legend of beautiful princess of Langkawi. The curse for 7th generation of this legend princess been told will be end on the 7th descendant of Mahsuri. We were lucky that one of our team members is related to her and the job have become much easier for us. After spending for almost 3 hours at the Aishah's unties house including having our late dinner, we decided to sneak around the Phuket island and to experience the night life of Phuket.

We spent for almost 3 hours enjoying the night view of Phuket at Pat Tong beach. There was a tremendous changes of Phuket just for only 4 years after the Tsunami tragedy 2004.

At about 2.30 am we departured to our next destination, Muang Kluang in Ranong, Thailand. We hope to reach Ranong on 8.00 am that is another 6 hours on road.
