I needed an immediate vacation -the idea is to get my attention away from the recent heart ache (of confinement without a baby).
The good thing about travel is -you came prepared. You've done your research about the hotel, transport/airport transfers, food, etc.
P.s. This was not my first time traveling overseas, I've been to Singapore and Indonesia before
Which part of Phuket did I choose to stay?
KARON / KATA
While in need of a great amount of peace myself, I choose a less crowded beach like Kata beach. They said this is the place for honeymooners *smile*
Kata beach
We booked a stay in the Baray Villa (Sawasdee Village) to meet the purpose. It is a 2-storey villa (upstairs -room, bed, shower, bath tub; donwstairs -living area, toilet, outdoor shower, jacuzzi) with a direct access to the public pool.
Booking can be made HERE.
You may choose to stay in a room (Garden Deluxe) or a villa (Baray Villa)

Like Bali, the majority of population in Phuket is Buddhist. But I guaranteed, finding halal food in Phuket was easy. There are plenty choice of Halal restaurants around Kata/Karon area and its even easier if you stay in Patong.
Tips: Look for restaurant with Halal logo on their sign
Must try : Thai Ice-Cream
This brother speak Kelantanese (kecek Kelate)
Must try : Banana Thai Pancake
Must try : Cha Yen (Thai Milk Tea)
Ooops, yeah we tried many other flavour of Thai Pancakes and ice-creams while hanging around the beach
Tuk-tuks (motorbike taxi) parked around the beach
Local fruits are no different in Malaysia, but look at their price *faint*
Another Halal food (kebab from stalls with Halal sign)
I was in awe with the stay (Baray Villa), beacuse of their details. The Thai food experience is not new to me, since we had many Thai people running restaurants in Malaysia.
