PHUKET, THAILAND

Since my friend and I had a week break until our exams, we decided to go for an adventure so we headed to Phuket, Thailand! :D


The beginning of Lorraine's fish eye lens. 


After a short nap. Made it to Phuket! 

DAY 1:


First activity: the elephant trek! 


Top of the mountain, overlooking Kata Beach, 


When we were still fairly light (in skin colour i mean). 


Such a bumpy ride... I was so scared of falling off.


First meal in Thailand and we had Pad Thai of course! Super delicious and super cheap! 


After my nap we went for a walk at the beach! 
(I was still recovering from the flu and the medicine made me so drowsy)


Sunset at Kata Beach! 


Dinner


Just roaming the streets around our hotel.

DAY 2: 


Speedboat Island Tour

Phi Phi Island! 


Phi Phi Island: Maya Beach 


Taking a picture of Lorraine taking a picture of me taking a picture. 


Oh how I struggled at snorkeling. 


At the beach turning brown...


First Thai Iced Tea! Officially addicted! 

DAY 3: 


Taking the "bus" to Phuket Town. 


The slowest ride EVER! 
1.5hrs later we finally made it to Phuket Town...


Got myself a Thai Iced Tea for another bus ride.


Another 1hr long ride to Patong...


Made it to some mall in Patong! FINALLY!!!! 
But then we had to walk around for an hr finding the fire station cause everyone kept giving us different directions :(


YES! Found the fire station! 


& right across the Mootaka Restaurant! 


The selection of meat.YUM!


Mootaka Buffet for $9.50CAD :P


So delicious! 


After some shopping we took the Tuktuk back. Probably the scariest ride ever! 

DAY 4: Last Day


Breakfast at a local restaurant! 


Pad Thai, Green Thai Curry Fried Rice, and Tom Yum Seafood Soup! 


More Thai Iced Tea :D


Been walking by these Banana Pancake carts everyday and we finally tried it on our last day! 


Banana and Nutella pancake! SOOO GOOD. Making me crave it so much looking at this picture! 


Last dinner in Thailand! 

Back to Hong Kong for exams :(

PS. Only 18 days until I am back! :D

ZHAOQING, CHINA!

Went to my cousin-in-law's hometown Zhaoqing during Easter break since I wasn't allowed to go anywhere else. 

Zhaoqing is about 1.5hrs away from Guangzhou 


Right when we arrived we rented a quadricycle to ride around the area! 


Cycling around the lake! 



The Seven Star Crags (Qixing Yan)! 


The sunset was so nice! 


Picking our fish for dinner! 


Dinner. YUM! :P


What I found in my hotel room... how contradicting. 

THE NEXT DAY:


Breakfast: mushroom bun! :P


Ready for a long hike at Dinghu Mountain! 


The water was so clean! 



My second hike of the weekend... basically got bitten alive by mosquitos :(


The "Ding"


Made it to the top! 

& then back to Guangzhou we go (where we were stuck in traffic for over 3hrs!)
