We intend to go to the 2 biggest shopping malls in Phuket for Day 2, the Central Festival Market and Jungceylon @ Patong. Our shuttle bus arrangement was for Central Festival Market and we reckon we can find our way to Jungceylon by taking the taxi... Lucky thing about Phuket is, the taxi rates are all fixed, so I guess it's something which Tourists can be assured that we would be on the chopping board after we board the taxis.
Not much shopping I must say, mainly window shopping and something for the kids. As I find the things there were not really cheap, it's almost the same as in Singapore. Guess Phuket is too much floated with Tourists and the prices had all been marked up!! But the lunch we had @ Central were really cheap and good! Especially their coffees, comparable to Gloria Jeans, I find, but the price is only a fraction of it!!
Another funny thing is, we forgot to bring all our swimwear!! hahaha... So we went Carrefour to grab some cheap swimwear just for the kids to enjoy the pool the next day! :p
My sis told me about this Phuket Fantasea which we must go when we are there... So, on the day of arrival, we had arranged for the tickets, cos the place only open at night from 6pm, we would have the whole day shopping before the show and buffet dinner there...
The kids had a great time here... They had their first elephant ride, photo shot to feed the baby tiger (which my sis had forgotten to tell me NOT to do it, cos she say a kid almost gotten bitten when they were there!!)... We are really impressed with the theme park, cos we did not expect the place to be so big, there's even a safari adventure inside.. showcasing their white tigers!! And this is even better then our Singapore Zoo, cos we can really get closed to the tigers!! And the kids love all the cuddling of the elephant stuff toys there.... Adwin was waiting eagerly for the elephant performance, but I guess he was really too tired, so he slept before the elephants came on stage!! But Ashley enjoyed the show totally!!
