Upon getting ready for our last day few hours in Phuket, I realized how sunburned I got. My darkest from the beach ever so I had to document it.

We went to Lobster & Prawn for a breakfast buffet which I was iffy about. Afraid I’d have stomach issues from it after. Whomp. The only thing that was good there was the fried rice. Other than that I didn’t get much to eat.

We relaxed at the abode until 11am when the guy came to check us out and our driver took us to the airport. Another one hour ride. When we got there check in was a breeze. Right when you get in they check your bags. Once we got our boarding passes and checked in our luggage, we sat and waited for a few hours until we boarded. We had 100 bhat left so we spent it on water and cookies and shared. Longest wait ever.

We got cashews but I didn’t eat them. I was waiting for my meal of red chicken curry and rice. Not as nice as what we had in Thailand but it was still nice to have as our last meal of curry. I think I’m done with curry for a while though. During the flight I watched a few episodes of 2 Broke Girls and part of Monster University before they cut of MU since we were landing.

Our parents and Kathy were at the airport waiting for us. We dropped off our stuff at the abode and went to a noodle shop for dinner. PoPo was waiting for us at home for her own home cooked meal and I was craving that more but we went to the noodle shop anyway. We all shared dishes of fried fish skin, brisket, fish balls, beef balls, and veggies. And got a bowl of wonton noodle soup each except Sissy and Vincent. I gave most of my wonton noodle soup to dad since I was looking forward to my other meal with PoPo.

Once we finished Vincent and I ran back home while the parents took Sissy and BIL back to their hotel. Beers and a table of yummy goodness greeted us. Veggies, scallops, intestines, squid, fish, and pigeon. So much happiness.

I wish I had more time to spend with the fams and will be super sad again once I leave. Hoping I can come visit in a few years again and for them to come visit us. Fingers crossed.

Already the 13th day of this Asia Trip and I can say that I’m ready to come home. Tonight is our last night in Phuket, flying back to Hong Kong tomorrow afternoon. Then a couple of nights left and it’ll be time to fly back to Rizzo. I am ready! SO ready. Just wish I wasn’t going back to work because … that I am not ready for.

Anyway, woke up pretty late. People here don’t really get up and move until around 10 … 11 am. The earliest any food places is open is at 9am and by then we’d been awake for a few hours. So not use to this life.

We walked to Mali Chic Restaurant and Bar for breakfast. Ordered the Iced Thai Tea and Iced Green Tea Latte and a Hot Green Tea Latte as drinks. For the food we got Fried Eggs with toast, ham, and bacon with potatoes. For me, I felt it was too much food. But the others didn’t think so.

We walked to the beach where I felt I was dying from fullness. We went in a swam for a couple hours during which I got jabbed in the back by a dude trying to fight the current. Now I have a bruised back. Whomp. And I was burning up since the sun was out so brightly today. Sissy said I look Filipino now.

When we were done we went and got fresh juices and more banana pancakes for lunch. Nothing too crazy since we decided to get a bigger meal at night. Then we walked home where BIL showered while Sissy and I relaxed.

When we decided to head out again, we went to Oriental Massage where Sissy and I got foot massages and BIL got a back and shoulder massage. I wasn’t a fan of mine. She didn’t have enough power and I felt like she was just rubbing my feet instead of massaging it. Oh well …

We went to buy some souvenirs and ran into a bunch of penises …

We went back to our place where Sissy and I showered and we relaxed again. This lazy life is obviously too much work for us.

We went back out for dinner at The Old Siam where I got watermelon juice and Massaman Curry with rice. We ordered a Tom Yum with seafood to share and they had a salad and soup bar. The soup was vegetable soup, much better than the night before’s. But we didn’t touch the salad bar again.

Now we’re back at our place yet again with our bellies filled with Thai food watching a movie that’s showing on the telly. This is the good life …

Sissy and BIL woke up super early for the sunrise on the beach while I slept. Figured I’d give them some one on one time. When they got back they went back to sleep so I continued sleeping. ha We’re ridiculous like that. When we finally decided to wake up we went back to the beach to read and relax for a few hours.

We passed by these bracelets they made. I don’t think they know what they’re making because some of these are horrible and shouldn’t be made.

When we were finally done beachin’ around, we went back to Eight Fold for a late lunch. Not a big fan of the stir fried yellow curry. Not enough curry for my rice which makes me sad. The pizza wasn’t bad though. Super thin crust which I actually liked this time.

We walked around and pigged out. Sissy got a pineapple kiwi juice while BIL and I waited for a banana pancake with nutella on top.

Then we passed by a ice cream place that curls your ice cream and got a chocolate oreo one. Nothing to fancy about it. The ice cream is super cold so it stays in that state longer, but the taste was … meh. Cool to experience though.

Then we passed by a egg waffle place and got that with strawberries as well. Just like Hong Kong’s egg waffle. So freaking full. We went back home and snacked some more … on crab chips we bought earlier. Fatasses.

We relaxed for a bit then went and got massages back as Sabai Massages. I got another Thai massage which I think I shouldn’t have since the first time around, she already loosened me up enough. This time it was painful.

We went back up to our abode and relaxed. Sissy and BIL watched a movie on the telly while I watched my Chinese soaps. We have been so tired … probably from all the sun and dehydration, we haven’t been on the move as much as we did in Hong Kong.

But we have been eating a lot. Yikes! … because after a few hours, we were back out on the streets looking for food. Malila Restaurant and Bar caught our eye. I got watermelon juice again with yellow curry and rice. They come with free salad and soup but we were too afraid to eat the salad. And the soup was just regular cabbage like soup I make at home.

Oh home, I miss Rizzo so much. I’m ready to fly back and relax with him. But I’m not ready for work. Zzzz …

Since we are renting a place for a few days, we walked to a hotel for the people to pick us up. We signed up for some activities yesterday and they set a 7am pick up time then continued to pick up three Australian girls. We had an hour ride to our first destination so we all fell asleep.

The monkeys. MONKEYS! Ahh .. I went ape shit. I was so excited. Look how freaking adorable they are!! You can buy bananas or corn and feed them. I think that’s a little crazy because that’s a lot of food they’re putting down. So we just watched people feed them. I wanted to steal Marcel home. <3

Afterward we rode a bit to ride elephants. This made me sad. The whole time I rode him, I just wanted it to end. The guy that was in charge of my elephant kept being rude to it because it wanted to eat or rest. It just made me very sad to see. They did stop so they could take a picture. I didn’t buy it but did snap a picture of it. You can see how they chopped their tusks off. So sad.

We had a short car ride to our next event, white water rafting. I think that’s what it’s called. We walked barefoot into the water and waited for the people to open up the dams so there was more water. Not long after we all jumped in and were off on our adventure. You could see all the water going crazy around us. We did a 9km one but I’m certain a 5km one was just as great.

After, they took us to this little country resort place with this gorgeous view to feed us. We were super wet and I felt gross. Luckily we had a fan to dry off of so we did that a bit while we waited for our authentic Thai meal. We finished almost everything. I was even surprised Sissy ate stuff that touched meat/seafood. I guess it comes down to if she really has to, she will eat around it.

There were some crazy red fire ants everywhere and this puppy that licked my knee and followed me everywhere. This is the size I wanted but ended up with a 9lb Rizzo. I miss Rizzo. 🙁

Our last destination was the waterfall. Nothing too crazy. Pretty but not something I thought I would be getting. I thought we would walk through the waterfall or something. Regardless, getting steps in made it better.

How I felt after we knew we were going back to our abode. I was so tired and sweaty. I felt disgusting and wanted to just take off all my wet clothes and sleep. And sleep I did on the forever car ride back to our abode. P.S. I miss being tan.

When we got back, we decided to chill on the beach as the sun set. It was really pretty. We just laid there and people watched. We went back to our place and all showered.

Then headed out for dinner at Red Duck Thai Restaurant. Apparently it has great reviews on TripAdvisor. I would say that the food was a bit expensive compared to last night. I got the watermelon juice shake and yellow curry shrimp. Sissy, BIL, and I decided to split the Tom Yum soup. Everything was extra spicy to the point my lips were burning. I usually don’t do dessert but I ordered a green tea ice cream afterward to help cool the burn.

I could do without such an expensive meal but I was able to bump into one of the best looking Thai guys that was sitting with his family at the table next to us so I didn’t mind. Great view indeed. Sigh.

I’m too sleepy  now to do anything. Not much is planned tomorrow but spa day and beach chilling. Sadly I’m ready to go home. I miss my whittle Rizzo so much. 🙁

I didn’t even remember falling asleep but I apparently had one of the best ones all trip. Thailand makes me so sleepy and I don’t understand why. I really do hope it’s the medicine.

We got ready and headed to Italian Job Coffee where we all ordered Iced Coffees and baked goods. I got the blueberry muffin because duh, blueberry flavored stuff is the best!

We walked around and went into some street stores to buy souvenirs. By the time we were finished, it started raining pretty hard. Boo on our beach plans. We went back to our place and looked up some things we were wanting to do like elephant tours and whatnot. When the rain died down a bit, we went out again and saw a puppy chilling in the corridor. He didn’t care about the people who walked passed him. So freaking chill.

We stopped by The Old Siam Restaurant for lunch. We ordered two Singha beers even though I wasn’t wanting to drink. Massaman Curry with Chicken. So freaking good! I had a good sweat stache going on and BIL took a picture and sent it to the family.

It was raining harder this time so we went to the stores again and walked around. When we went back to our abode, the puppy was still there. He must be hiding from the rain. Smart little pup.

It seemed like an ongoing pattern. Rain comes and goes. I guess it’s nice to rest a bit. We went out again. A plethora of vespas and jeepnes are always everywhere.

We finally got to the beach. Sissy and BIL played in the water while I chilled with all our stuff.

We watched people parasailing and it’s freaking crazy how the spotter isn’t harnessed in and just hangs around.

Mmmm … this is such a good view. Two very cute guys just plopped down in front of me as I was taking this picture.

After many hours on the beach of just relaxing, reading, and people watching, we went back and they showered. We walked around and bought some souvenirs then went to Eight Fold Restaurant. Watermelon Shake (juice) and Pad Thai with Shrimp was had. Super cheap but super delicious. The watermelon really hit the spot. I drink so much water but it’s not as refreshing as drinking that juice. I want more!

Saw a jeepne made into a bar. Club music was coming out of it too. So freaking funny …

We stopped by a Banana Pancake stand which Rachel said is a must have. We got it with caramel and … mmm so sweet and crispy. So good. Definitely recommended. I’d like to try it with nutella or chocolate though.

It was a pretty chill day. We walked around a lot like we did in Hong Kong, almost the same steps on our chill days but it hasn’t been as tiring. Not too sure why. Tomorrow is going to be a filled day of activities. I’m actually kind of dreading it. I am not ready. Eeeps.
