Arrived at the airport and encountered our first hiccup. SY brought along a 150ml sunblock which was not allowed on the plane. Solution: Bought a 50ml mouthwash from Watsons, emptied its content and transfered the sunblock.
Researching beforehand goes a long way. We ignored all the shuttle bus tout at the arrival hall and went straight to the small and dark public taxi stand. We were kind of paranoid throughout the journey, especially when the driver stopped along the road and got down ("lock the car door", "look out for strangers approaching"). It didn't help that it was 10+pm and the roads were dark.
Thankfully, we reached Rico's Bungalow safely. We were allcoated Room 9, a big L shaped room tugged at the corner. All 23 rooms faced a swimming pool right at the middle, after a few days, you kinda know who your neighbours are.
Had our first meal of pizza and tom yum soup at Tomato Restaurant. It was there that we realised that Phuket is filled with Caucasians. Despite having only two tables of customers, our food took also half an hour to arrive, that was when we knew that we should leave our Singaporean efficency at home and start enjoying our rest and relaxing trip.
