Monkey Funky in Phuket

A pampered holiday. I almost couldn't believe it happened. It happened so quick.

Look, I even did my nails for it!


And here's a peek of some of my beach essentials.


Well, yes, I went to Phuket with a mysterious person almost 2 weeks ago. The first time I was there was back in 2004, right before I left for London with my then boyfriend. This time, I overrode the history. Both to be honest are happy times.

I didn't do any planning at all, I was asked to come along. Extra leg room, plane food catered and an awesome companion... I couldn't ask for more. We arrived at the airport and fortunately without much haggling, we managed to get a taxi to our resort - Andaman White Beach Resort. It was secluded and nothing was really nearby. We walked about 15 minutes to get to a public beach with some shops, closed bars and eateries, and we only did that once because it was too much of a hassle.

The rest of the time were spent in the resort, chilling by the beach or pool... swimming, eating, drinking and playing pool. The currents were so strong most of the time, I didn't muster enough courage to go into the sea... except for times when I could cling to my companion! The deluxe room we had was spacious, with a cool balcony (we were on the top floor, so it was all good). All the rooms had good privacy and it was very romantic listening to the waves at night. The breakfast offered many good choices, I enjoyed the freshly cooked eggs and waffles!

The whole trip was relaxing and lovely... I really wish I have more of these impromptu romantic weekend getaways :) I lost my hat (shown in the pic - it was my first time wearing it!!!), shame on the dishonest person who picked it up. I am glad I wasn't too bitter about it as the holiday was almost perfect.

Special thanks to my little monkey!

p.s: It was a coincidence we happened to escape the haze when it got really bad (thanks to Indonesia!)...!
