Thailand Day 8 – Bangkok withrawals


We woke up this morning thinking it was going to be another beach day, although our bodies were still recovering from yesterdays beach day. We slept in a little so breakfast was a little late. The picture above shows what it looked like while were sitting having our breakfast. Mom Tri’s is such a good location on Kata beach. It looked a little angry out there and in no time the rains came bucketing down so that was the decider, more shopping! (I think we were having Bangkok withdrawals). So we got on a tuk tuk and headed over to Central Festival Shopping Centre in Phuket town.

Three floors of air conditioned shops with a huge food court and entertainment. Phillip was hugely excited when we found the Zara store. Seeing that we don’t have Zara in Australia yet I can understand why. He brought some really nice things including a very nice woolen trench coat, which looks great on him. Four hours later after we walked the entire length of the shopping centre and brought ourselves another pair each of Cons for 20 bucks, we decided it was time to head over to the Phuket Night Bazaar.
We heard that this market sold the most unusual things.  It was time to find another tuk tuk and this time the driver was willing not only to take us there but to wait for us until we had finished and then take us back to the hotel! How cool is that! This meant we could leave her with our shopping from the mall and load ourselves up again with more. Well we first walked past all the food. If your into eating bugs and unusual fruits then this is the place to eat. I guess if we came from this culture the food would have been awesome. There was alot of it too.
So we walked around looking for dvd’s, which we didnt find and brought more tee shirts and caps. These are really cool and at an even better price than the markets in Bangkok.  After all this shopping we headed back to the hotel, and I have to say we both were exhausted. I guess out of practice from our Bangkok run. Anyway after our happy hour cocktails at the hotel and usual meal from Kata Momma’s we decided that tomorrow is going to be the beach day. We aint coming home unless we have a tan!
