4 Days 3 Nights Holiday To Phuket, Thailand - Day 02

Day 02 -

• Phuket City Half Day Tour ( Kata Beach, Karon View Point, Aquarium, Gems/Pearl Factory, Cashew Nut Factory, Bee Farm)
• Phuket FantaSea

Luckily there's no rain on the second day but it was kinda gloomy. So it was kinda difficulty to snap nice pictures on that day.We booked a local tour to tour around Phuket. The tour begin at 11:00am so we have a little time to check out Patong Beach which is just located nearby our resort.

Our Half Day Tour :

Kata Beach

Kata Beach

Kata Beach looks so much cleaner and the sand is smoother compare the Patong Beach. You will notice a lot of tourists likes to hang out at this beach. There is a nice Surf House just across the road where you can learn surfing. It looks quite interesting, might consider to give it a try in my next trip to Phuket.

The next destination is heading to Karon View Point where you can enjoy a beautiful scenery. There is a view they called it the 3 Bays view. Unfortunately the gloomy weather doesn't allow me to snap a nice picture of it.

Big Buddha is one of the attraction here. The Buddha is Huge but still in progress in construction. I asked the tour guide how long more to complete this Buddha. The tour guide told us that it really depends on the donation from the visitors. If they can get sufficient fund definitely they can complete the construction faster. Just hope my next trip to Phuket this Big Buddha will be fully completed. 

Next the tour guide brought us to the Gem/Pearl factory. But to me is more like a gallery and part of the itenary they hope you will buy something there. Too bad we are not into Gem or Pearl, in fact we did request to skip it but he tour guide said they are not allow to skip the itenary.. so we just did a quite glance and off we go to our next destination which is the Aquarium. Aquarium Phuket is where we can discover many sea creatures, fishes. It was al-right but not the best aquarium i visited within this region.

Our last two places to visit are the Cashew nut factory and bee farm.

Cashew nut factory where you can see how they extract the nuts from the plant and of course they are selling all sorts of flavoured cashew nuts there too. Basically is shopping time! :)

U get to see the bees and hold the beehives for picture too. There will be a short session about the type of honey and how to choose the right honey.

By the time the tour ended was about 6pm. We have to rush for our next trip with another tourist van to FantaSea. Luckily the van came to our hotel at 6:30pm which is just nice for us.

FantaSea is a cultural theme park. We bought the tickets that we can enjoy the buffet dinner and to watch the cultural performance. it cost us about 1900Baht. Not really cheap but no harm just check it out. 

As the van will just drop us there, we have to queue to purchase the entrance ticket ourselves. I was assign to queue for the tickets. The ticketing area was really grand and the main colour is Gold. Look at the picture i took and u will know what i mean. 

FantaSea Ticketing and Entrance

We were so hungry and we do not want to miss our cultural show, we just had a quick look at the surrounding and head on the the buffet dining area. The place is really huge, it took us for a while to look for the restaurant. The dining place also give us a shock. It is really a huge dining place which i believe it can cater for one thousands of customer or more than that.
