Phuket Trip Part 1

Ah..where do I begin....our trip to Phuket by the team's execs/managers.It was um, interesting to begin with where about 80% of the objectives were met.Of course, the objectives was sun,sea,sand and girls. As for sun, I ended up with dry lips, so check.Sea, well, I did smell something salty la, i think it was ham, at least, so check.Sand, yeap did step on the beach-check again.As for girls, err, no comment(read: read on la)

Chapter 1: The departure

We hit the road in 3 F1 cars driven by our resident F1 kakis (Imagine 20 years of road rage)who sent us there in one piece(ribuan terima kasih) followed by our first twenty photos in and around the LCCT.It was seriously low cost, people had to sit on the floor pipes and conveyor belts.The only thing not low cost was the food.Now everybody can fly, but not everyone can eat.Finally the plane took off, yes folks despite having me on board.

Chapter 2: The arrival

We stopped to be greeted by colorful people who kept trying to sell us stuff.When we told them politely no, they smiled and then tried to sell us some other stuff!Then a wonderful marketing strategy employed by our neighbours was uncovered.Taxi drivers(who btw drive big cars, not our Iswaras) stops us by some shop in the middle of nowhere thats supposed to be a travel agent I suppose.There we were dragged out of our car and kena psycho kau kau about how cheap they can get us stuff and all.All the while, I had images of sheep being led to the slaughterhouse playing through my head.I wnder why...

Chapter 3: The Hotel

Was greeted by this beautiful hotel on a small bukit.Nice- Phuket- Bukit.....so we go upstairs and the first signboard that greets me, instead of Sawadee Ka or Welcome to Phuket, is a big fat signboard reading "Warning- Tsunami Hazard Area.Safe Area 300m. In event of emergency, move inland or to higher ground." Um, OK...not very reassuring, but then I was soon in the holiday mood as a big van with some gorilla on it started playing Metalicca music and had a poster on it going "Tribute to Metalicca at Patong Beach- We will rock your ass off"
Even though had very little intention of going, it was like insurance, knowing it was there was some form of consolation.Besides, if I failed to get laid on this trip, I can always tell my friends how cool the Metallica T-Shirts were.

The bitch of it is, it was a beautiful,rather spacious ultra modern hotel with luxurious facilities, but had NO LIFT.I got a room int he third floor, and to top it off there was a small climb over a hill, and 2 flieet of stairs before you reach the first floor.So after walking around town, you really just feel like sleeping in the pool.
