BACKPACKING THAILAND PART 1 : PHUKET

Hello its been forever since my last post, but here i am now want to share my journey to you.

About a week ago I went to Thailand, solo. Yup, they said im crazy, but here i am still alive. First of all, i wanna share my journey and help you guys who wants to have solo travel because i think other blog is really helping me for this journey. So, lets just start it. 

29 March 2019

I fly to Phuket via Kuala Lumpur from Jakarta use Malindo air. And arrived at Phuket around 15.55 pm. And after have my bags i buy sim card for 10days. I forgot how much the simcard was but its not more than 500bhat. Then i walk out from airport, finding public transport going to Patong area. There are few option,Grabtaxi, taximeter (800-1000bhat) or Mini van around 12 people. It cost 180bhat. Well you know what is my choice right ;) . The ticket box located in gate 5. You go out then go to the left, just keep walking until you find the ticket box

 The Ticket of van

Ticket box

Then, in the middle of journey they will ask you where hotel you stay, and etc. Then they will drop you right in front of the hotel. I stayed in Patong area. Why i choose Patong, because its very close to Patong beach also, near Bangla Road, which full of night life. 

I stay at Wire Hostel Patong . Wait before you judge why i choose hostel not hotel.  First, not only its very very cheap. But i really want to try stay in bunk-bed with different people. But i think its a mistake, because at 2-4am where people finish their party they always coming to the room and drunk, its really bothering me. But the location, staff all great! i was sleeping good because i have early island hopping.

I already booked my trip to Phi-Phi Island when i am in Indonesia, i got contact from blog haha. The key is more people more cheap. I paid 1530bhat (extra 30bhat for insurance). They picked me use van at 8am, then we all go to the pier, before they give me some safety induction about this trip.

Around 9.00 am we arrived in the first stop, Khai Nai Island. They give me time until 12.00 pm to look around the Island. But I think, its not more beautiful than beaches in Bali or another cities in Indonesia. 

I was sitting only on this beach, because its really nothing much you can do, and i wanna swim in phi-phi because i was disappointed with this beach haha... well even you can snorkeling, jetskiing in this island. 

At 12.00 pm, we go to Maya Bay, we cant go down because the coral is broken and its closed until i dont know when. So the speedboat only go around this area. And then we go to Phi-Phi Island. They gave us time until 15.00pm for lunch and chilling. The food awesome, halal dont worry. And then i swimming and enjoy the view. At this trip, they provide us mineral water, at Khai Nai they give us watermelon and Coke. 

Around 17.00pm I arrived in hostel, i was so hungry at that time and look in Google whats the best for food, then it showed me Restaurant Number 6. 

My review, its really good. They serve very fast, taste the best. Best tom yam kung i think. I tried few dishes here, also the price is very cheap. So its worth to try! But, when dinner and lunch time its very packed, so be patient for this yummy food.

After i finished my food, i walk to patong beach, its just 10 minutes but Bangla Road is very loud and packed, so if you need quite time i dont recommend you to stay around this area. Around 11.00 pm i am tired after visiting few bars and watching beach football. So i go back, and ask the owner of hostel how can i go to the Phuket Airport, because i have morning flight at 7.20, she recommend use taximeter but that would cost me 1000bhat, i dont want that. So i ask for cheaper options, and she said i can use van at 5.00 am cost me 250bhat. I agreed, and worried at the same time. Because the traffic was so bad when i reached patong from phuket. Around 1hr40mins. But she promised me it will arrive at Airport around 6.30am . Well, lets see tomorrow!
