Phuket Trip 2014

This is our third trip to Phuket already and this time I was reluctant to leave this place. It's now like a second home to me. My family and I are quite familiar with the place now. We stayed at Anantara Vacation Club in a 2 bedroom pool suite and it was so relaxing.  

In fact this trip was indifferent from the previous ones. This is the first time my kids enjoyed the hotel facilities independently. My boy made an effort to wake up early to work out at the gym alone. Then he proceeded to the pool where we met up with him for a swim. Poor JW had menses, couldn't get into the pool but she didn't waste any precious holiday time. She rented a bike and cycled alone. She cycled around us and we could actually see her from our pool. It was a joy.

In Phuket, we did a lot and have beautiful memories. We cycled in the club vicinity and nearby to the beach. We searched for good food and has unconsciously became regular customers. We enjoyed food at Jakkajan on the beach with a beautiful view, Kin Dee, MK steamboat, Ko Ta Chicken Rice, Swensen Ice cream, beach huts at Naiyang, The Coffee Club etc. The kids found a new liking this time, the ice cream at DQ (Dairy Queen) that won't drop even if u turn it up side down. It was glued to the cup, interesting. They love it. We had plenty fun at the Trick eye Museum and taken loads of pictures. My kids acted very real in those 3D pictures and they are photogenic. I like taking photos of them. TH also enjoyed himself like a child:)

We also made our way back to Naiyang beach, walking down the memory lane way back in 2011. We strolled along the beach and into the National park nearby. Our kids had fun with the waves and got themselves semi wet. Meanwhile TH and I enjoyed some drinks on the beach while watching over them. It was so joyful to watch them growing up enjoying each other company happily.

My boy bought a Brazil World Cup 2014 t-shirt at the Adidas outlet. He wore it to play a football golf game with us but somehow that place was closed on that day, so my boy didn't get to show off his skill, what a disappointment. Then, we went shopping at Central Festival where we bought a new luggage to replace the broken one which we brought there. It cost us $500. We also bought some plastic colorful tableware for our new home.

Overall, it was a great holiday and all of us agree to return again in the near future.

This time we actually left Lassie at home in the back yard with 3 buckets of water and an edible bone. She was in good shape when we returned. It was a bliss when all of us worked together to tidy up and within 30 minutes, all is in order. I am so thankful for my family. They are now in their teens and it makes a difference, a good difference. Live them.
