Phuket Trip Part 2

After settling down in the resort, we took the resort shuttle to Central Festival. Central Festival is another mega shopping mall in Phuket. After roaming around the mall for a while, we went to Yum Saap for lunch.

The morning glory was spicy and crunchy. Although it was mostly stems but it was an enjoyment biting into the crunchiness.

Morning Glory 4.2/5

The Papaya Salad which is also known as Som Tam in Thai is full of flavours. Sour, spicy and sweet all came together in a simple dish of shredded unripened papaya. It also came with salted egg which was quite unique.

Papaya Salad with Salted Egg 4.2/5

The authentic Green Curry Chicken was really good. The green curry gravy was thick and creamy exactly the the way I like.

The hot and sour taste from the Mixed Seafood Tom Yam simply spice up my day. It was full of yummy and fresh seafood.

Phuket Trip Part 1

I went for a 3D2N short trip in Phuket after grabbing a cheap accommodation deal from WOTIF at Evason Phuket & Bon Island Resort for USD$57 per night, which was about SGD$66 per night. The resort is located at the Southern end of Phuket at Rawai beach area. The resort itself also has a private island which you can visit via their free ferry shuttle.

A peaceful and scenic view welcomes you when stepping into the resort.


The resort has 4 pavilions built above the pond serving as reception area.



A towel,  welcome drink and tibits upon checking in.


The scenic view every morning for breakfast.



Interesting "Do not disturb" door sign.



The resort also has its own vegetable farm too.
