Our day 1@ Phuket,

We safely arrived Phuket International Airport at 0750 hours local time. We were welcome by sea blue tour agent and took each and everyone individual picture with the sea shell chain.

All of us were so excited and ready to explore Phuket. Our first city tour visit was to a T-Shirt printing shop. There were many types of T Shirt for Kids, adult and many more ‘Barang’ to shop with reasonable price.

After a long shopping and city tour around, we were bring to the famous Bang Sang Tuan@ Ali’s Muslim Restaurant/Special Original Thai Food.

The foods were so delicious that all of us enjoyed and cleared our plates.

After so much of excitement and fun we had from Phuket Airport that has forgotten our tiredness after we saw the beautiful hotel and big bed for us to sleep. Thank you to Thanam and Zalifah the great organiser.

After a long rest we prepare ourselves for Fantasea Show, couldn’t wait to watch this show as we heard a lot about this show. Sad is that we were not allowed to bring our Camera or hanphones. We are not allowed to take pictures inside. However, we had a great time watching elephant bring dress with beautiful cloths, chicken run, suddenly form no where goats are running.

The best was people dancing on air, they were amazing… do not miss Fantasea show if you are at Phuket. We had lots of fund not forgotten our buffet before the show... if you talking about diet please forget it for that night… they serve delicious food that night.

The End...Next trip is to LGK

June 7, 2009 and woke up early for me not to miss my 8:55 AM Air Asia flight from Phuket to Bangkok. The last part of my Asian trip (Singapore, Kuala Lumpur Malaysia, Phuket and Bangkok Thailand).

Sleepy and tired but full of excitement. That’s what I exactly feel when I reached the fantastic airport of Phuket.

But I still managed to save some energy for my half-day tour to Bangkok because of the warm welcome of the Thai personnel in the airport.

They’re very glad to help you in any ways that they can offer. From the airport’s entrance, trolleys, waiting area and until you reach your destination.

But even if I already reached my destination, all I can feel is their kindness and hospitality.

Honestly, I found too hard to understand some of their words but you can feel from the smiles in their faces of how special you are to them.

While we’re waiting for our FD 3022 plane in Phuket airport, all I can do is to sit, think, plan, stare at the map (and look around the surroundings) what I’m going to do in Bangkok.

At first, my plan is to have a back-pack style of touring the city from Suvarnabhumi airport with my sling bag, plastic full of souvenirs, and my big stroller bag. I think that’s the weirdest plan I ever had, because Suvarnabhumi is toooooooo far from the Bangkok’s CBD.

Good thing I was looking around and saw this Tour Information stall in the waiting area just in front of me.

Then here’s the roll-call to the passengers for Bangkok. And eventually, I left that guilt in the airport when I board the plane because all I can feel is excitement. Excitement because I’ll be going to Bangkok and of course, another plane experience for me again.

When the plane’s wheel touched Suvarnabhumi, I was greeted by different planes on the way.

Fantastic! Whoah! I really love planes.

While the plane is taxiing in the airport ramp, I’m wondering why our plane is not going near to the terminals. All of a sudden, we were dropped-off on the tarmac for us to ride the shuttle bus going to the domestic airport. Ugh! A little hassle for us, that’s what I thought. Anyway, I have no choice but to follow the line.

But to least of my expectation when the driver started the engine and left the pick-up area, it’s like we’re touring the airport (hmmp). And suddenly I saw a lot of planes, as in LOTS OF PLANES.

I saw B747, B777, B737, A340, A330, A320 and a lot more in different airlines. Oh my god! That’s the only word I can speak in my mind. This is such a nice place. I wanted to tell the driver to stop the bus for us to take some pictures but it’s already in the mid-day knowing that all of us passengers and I are now starving.

Next time, I’ll ride Air Asia again because of this one-of-a-kind experience.

Bangkok, Thailand is one of the best place to go for holiday. Lots of interesting places there.

Say, like Grand Palace, Chao Phraya River, Sampran Elephan Zoo, Bayoke Sky Hotel, and many else. Some people come only for shopping, lots shops with very good price. If you like shopping, don't ever forget to visit MBK, Platinum Shopping Mall, Pratunam and Pratunam Shopping Mall, Bayote Shopping Mall, Indra Shopping Mall, Swanlum Night Bazar, Chatucak week end Market and Chatucak Shopping Mall, and many other shopping malls around.

This is our family holiday picture at Grand Palace, Bangkok, last year. It was December 2007.

This is us at Pataya Beach, Thailand. Its about 3 hours by van from Bangkok. The earliest time from Bangkok, to Pataya Beach by van starts at 5.30 am and the last time from Bangkok to Pataya is 8.30 pm.

On Desember 2006, we went to Phuket Island, Thailand for the first time to visit Thailand. Phuket Island is about 7 hrs by bus from Hat Yai.

Why I keep showing you our family picture? Because for me specially for our family, Thailand is good place for holiday and holds a special place in our hearts. For me "NO TRAVEL WARNING FOR BANGKOK, Thailand". We plan to go to Bangkok for our family holiday next June/July. Bangkok is still the best place for holiday for me.

From 5 October 2008 until 13 October 2008, We (12 adults and 4 children) travelled to 5 cities in South East Asia using AirAsia.

5 October 2008 (1st flight), from Jakarta we flew to Batam, and then using ferry to Singapore?

We were staying for 2 nights in Singapore and had a great fun there?. We brought our children to Sentosa Island, playing Luge and Skyride, and the most excited things were watching ?The Song of the Sea?. It was a great performance and the lasser fountain was cool?.. Our children liked it very much. (read more...)

In February this year, I travelled with AirAsia for the first time from Australia to Kuala Lumpur, Phuket, Penang, and Johor Bharu. Every flight was pleasant and comfortable. On my return flight to Australia there was a medical emergency on board which I attended to. Your staff were extremely helpful, polite and assisted me with all our needs. I highly commend your staff for their discipline and assistance during this time. The gentleman in question is fine and went on to have an enjoyable holiday in Australia. I will be travelling with you again in 4 weeks on quite a few flights from Australia and throughout Asia. Will be looking forward to more enjoyable travels and am only to willing to assist again if required.
