FIVE THINGS I LIKE ABOUT BANGKOK

Eiyo dearies,

Welcome back to Fadima Mooneira. How are you guys doing? I hope you guys are doing good and feeling excited about today's post. It's because I'm going to share a travel post with you guys today.

End of last month, September, my family and I traveled to Phuket, Thailand for a vacation. Syukur alhamdulillah, our vacation was awesome. So in today's post, I'm going to share some of my vacation pictures with you guys. Yay! Btw, I'm going to keep this post short and simple. And before I share my pictures, let me share a short summary of Phuket with you guys...

ABOUT PHUKET

Phuket is the largest island in Thailand. The island is located on the Southern side of the mainland and it sits on the Andaman sea. The island is surrounded by seven beautiful beaches~ Rawai, Patong, Karon, Kamala, Kata Yai, Kata Noi, and Mai Khao. My family and I stayed at Marriot Vacation Club while we were in Phuket. Marriot Vacation Club is located at Mai Khao beach.

Phuket has a big Chinese community and influence. Because of the big Chinese community, you guys can see many Chinese shrines and restaurants if you travel to Phuket. In fact, there's a Chinese Vegetarian Festival that is held every year in Phuket.

Ok, this is all about Phuket that I want to share with you guys. Now, I'm going to share some of my vacation pictures here. But before that, let me inform you that my vacation in Phuket was just a leisurely one. So all the pictures that I'm going to share with you guys here will be simple ones. There are not many pictures of touristy attractions to share.  FYI, it's our second time in Phuket. Our first visit to Phuket was in 2010. And most tourist attractions there are still the same as before. So we only spent our vacation enjoying the resort, Mai Khao beach, and visiting some hotspots nearby our resort.

Now let's begin with the pictures...

# 1

This picture was taken at Mai Khao beach. Our hotel, Marriot Vacation Club is located at Mai Khao. Mai Khao beach is very blue and beautiful. My second visit to Phuket makes me realize how much I miss the beach. Hehehe ^_^

#2

The second picture was taken at Thalang Road. Thalang Road is the main central street of Phuket Old Town. This quaint boulevard provides tourists with numerous attractions, great shops, restaurants, small guesthouses, and more. All buildings on this street are built in Sino-Portuguese architecture. Thalang Road is a good place to go shopping in Phuket. And Pornthip Old Town is one of the most famous cafes to dine at if you guys visit Thalang Road.

Like the second picture, this picture was also taken at Thalang Road. It's a picture of me in front of the golden dragon ^_^

#4

The Turtle Village is a resort-style shopping center situated nearby Marriot Vacation Club. This resort-style shopping center provides tourists with good shops to shop at, and good restaurants and cafes to dine at. 

#5

This picture was also taken at The Turtle Village.  It's a picture of me in front of the Turtle fountain. Lovely isn't it? Hehehe ^_^

#6

This picture was taken at Mai Khao Plaza. Mai Khao Plaza is situated at Mai Khao Beach. It is next to the Turtle Village and not very far from Marriot Vacation Club. Mai Khao Plaza provides tourists with good restaurants and cafes to dine at, shops to shop at, and some spas and massage parlors.

#7

Mai Khao Marine Turtle Foundation is situated inside Marriot Vacation Club. It's a place where Marriot Vacation Club guests can see turtles and shop for some turtle souvenirs. Guests can also make donations to the foundation. 

#8

A vacation in Thailand won't be complete without Khao Niaow Ma Muang (Thai Mango Sticky Rice pudding). We had this pudding at a restaurant called Basil. Basil is one of the good restaurants to dine at in The Turtle Village. The restaurant provides customers with delicious Thai cuisine. 

#9

Besides Khao Niaow Ma Muang, a vacation in Thailand won't be complete without fresh coconut juice. My eomoni and I had these fresh coconut juice at the hotel lobby. It was very delicious and refreshing. Gosh! I miss this coconut juice a lot. 

Ok, so these are the pictures I selected to share with you guys. I hope you guys enjoyed looking at them ^_^

Before I end this post, I would like to do a shameless self-promo. My novel, Fail Merah is also available at an online bookstore called SM BOOKS & COLLECTIBLES. This means you guys can also purchase the novel at SM Books & Collectibles. Here's the link to purchase Fail Merah at SM Books & Collectibles >> FAIL MERAH AT SM BOOKS & COLLECTIBLES 

Ok, this is all for now. Thank you for reading this post. I'll see you guys again in my next post. Take care ^_^

XoXo,

Fadima Mooneira ^_^
