Second day at Phuket, we decided to spent our time for sight seeing around the beach and search for any good offer to visit some interesting places there.
And one of the thing that we discovered was that, kenapa banyak sangat Indian food kat sini? Not only roti naan, tandoori jer ada dijual, they also served seafood, tomyam kung and so on. So, for our brunch, we decided just to give it a try.
Tomyam Kung, Tandoori, Manggo Sticky Rice and Prawn Fried Rice...
We ordered the food as above, roti naan, dan macam-macam lagi. The food was not that bad but it's quite pricy.
Dah kenyang, baru boleh start jalan-jalan. We had a long walk along the beach, till we found a booth that gave good offer for tour packages. Since masa pun dah hampir tengahari, so kitaorang decided to make a half day visit to:
1. Phuket Big Buddha
2. Cashew Nut Farm
3. Pornthip Food Store
Big Buddha (Mingmonkol Buddha)
This Buddha located on the hilltop in Nakkerd Hills between Chalong and Karon Beach. Sebelum naik ke puncak, dari bawah dah boleh nampak patung tu. The right above picture shows the complete look of the place. The place not 100% complete. But the statue (white marble one) almost 90% complete.
They built temporary steps to see the statue much more closer. Above pics show the entrance to get closer to the statue. Semput jap naik tangga, stop ambik pic kat tangga, to capture the hilltop view. And, there is a tree full of golden bells. People bought the bells, wrote their wishes on the bells and hang them up on that tree.
More views and terjumpa bendera Malaysia kat puncak bukit tuh...
The biggest buddha is the white marble one. The whole structure from marble. Punyalah cantik dan berseni. It was so amazing to see how they built this gigantic statue patiently by using marble. And, ada banyak lagi statue lain yang kecik-kecik punya. Sebelum bina marble statue, kat atas bukit nih dah ada golden buddha (middle pic) sejak dulu lagi.
Cashew Nut Farm...
Siapa suka makan kekacang dan nak kacang gajus yang sedap, fresh and murah, boleh didapati di sini. Suka tengok pokok gajus dihias dengan fake cashew fruits. There were many kind of flavours to be choose from and cashew nut drink pun ada dijual.
Entah kenapalah kalau pergi Bali pun, mesti bawak tempat-tempat gem or silver nih. Tapi kat sini, design barang kemas dia memang superb compared kat Bali. Kalau dah kaya raya, ada tersangkut satu dua cincin atau gelang kat situ. Sorrylah take photo is not allowed in the gallery room.
Along the way home, sempat lalu and snap gambar masjid kat situ dan tengok sunset. After that, terus pergi dinner seafood. Dinner seafood kita show for next entry. Dah tahap malas dah nih nak karang ayat panjang-panjang nih.
Ok, last-last, dah nak habis. Ku akhiri dengan banana nutella crepe yang menjadi top favourite setiap malam di sana. Cantik jer dia bukak warung depan hotel kita.
Gerai abang ni, hanya dibuka pada waktu malam. Setiap malam memang tak miss untuk beli crepe. Nak balik last day ke airport, sempat lagi beli satu.
Abang cincin & gelang emas besar nih, memang pandai buat crepe dan gerai dia lebih jadi tumpuan compared to other crepe stalls.
Selain banana nutella, kita pernah order, banana peanut butter dan Kamal pernah order egg chocolate. Since dah sedap sangat makan tiap-tiap malam, kita capturelah gerai abang nih untuk kenangan.
