Hi semua! Apa khabar? Sihat? Dah makan nasi?
Okay, hari ni hakak nak kongsi pengalaman hakak pergi Phuket dengan budget yang super rendah! So, for those yang nak pergi bercuti luar dari Malaysia, boleh lah refer to Itinerary to Phuket ni dan Expensesnya sekali.
Before I went for the trip, I have made a simple itinerary as below.
Day 1
Flight : KUL (20:40) - HKT (21:05)
Arrived at Phuket Airport
Taxi to Rassada Place
Check in at Rassada Place
-- Having meal, have some rest.
Note:
1) Do not purchase cigarette at the airport. I don't know why, it was 120THB. It was 100THB at Phi Phi Island.
2) Ask your hotel/hostel whether they can arrange someone to pick you up or not. Because you will need to super bargain on the taxi fare. Do not make the decision on choosing taxi too fast cos you could actually get lower prices. If you want, you can ask every taxi booth over there. Since we arrived a bit late, there was no minibus/ airport shuttle bus. So, no choice, we need to take the taxi. I read somewhere, they said Meter Taxi on the right side of the airport could give you cheaper price. But thank God, we asked around. we save our 50thb. The taxi fare from Airport to Rassada Place was 600THB
3) Pick places to stay and MAKE SURE there are at least a mini mart or places to eat! We were starving on our first night! We could actually walk around 20 minutes to go to the nearest mini mart. However, it was raining heavily that night. So yeah.
4) Rassada Place only caused you around RM50 per night (500THB). The room was neat, clean, and far from noise. The staff was helpful. If you wished to stay here, please prepare your own food!
Day 2
06.30: Check out.
Taxi to Rassada Pier
08:30: Ferry to Phi Phi Island (Tonsai Pier)
Check in at Phi Phi Chang Grand Resort
-- Having meal, sightseeing at the beach
21:00: Partay!
Note:
1) One more thing, MAKE SURE there are a lot of public transport around there. Rassada Place was out of nowhere but the plus point was, it's only 10 minutes to Rassada Pier. (That was why I booked this place. I'll never do that again. I swear). We need to stop by the taxi and we bargained the taxi driver from 500THB to 300THB to go to Rassada Pier
IT WAS ONLY 10 MINUTES AND YOU WANTED TO CHARGE ME 500THB. NOPE. But the taxi driver was nice tho.
2) We purchased ferry tickets thru www.phuketferry.com . It was quite cheap compared to if we purchase it at the pier. It was around 790THB per person (returned ticket). BUT, double check with your hotel/hostel if they can prepare returned ferry tickets to Phi Phi Island. Cos, the staff told us, if the prepared for us, it'll be only 750THB per person.
3) When we checked in our ferry ticket at the counter, the staff asked whether we have transport to go to our hotel tomorrow once we arrive at Phuket from Phi Phi. She looked at our booking, she told us, she could arrange minibus for us and it'll be only 200THB per person. If we get the taxi it'll cost you around 600THB. So, we decide we just go with the minibus then.
4) Again, MAKE SURE YOUR HOTEL ALWAYS HAVE THE ELECTRICITY. We checked in at Phi Phi Chang Grand Resort. IT WAS THE WORST. We checked in around 10.45am. The staff told us, the electricity will be fine around 11am. NOPE. The electricity was on at around 5pm. Thank God, the beach was amazing. You can go for boat trip, island hoping, snorkeling, diving and etc, but we prefer to spend time playing at the beach only.
5) Food, you don't need to worry. You need to look around each and every restaurant. You can get food around 100THB below per person. So, be patient! XD
6) Party was good. You can see 'bucket stall' everywhere! haha. Imported whiskey bucket will cost you around 600THB and above. However you can get local whiskey bucket for 400THB. But it depends as well. There was a lot of bars there. We chose to go to Reggae Bar as there were Muay Thai too! Large bottle of Chang Beer cost you around 180THB and small bottle is 100THB. And, the nicest thing was, the bucket. We ordered Sam Song buy 1 free 1 (local whiskey bucket) for 400THB. They mixed the whiskey with coke and redbull. After we finished our drinks, we went to Dojo Bar. There was a dance floor over there. We just ordered a large bottle of Chang Beer for 100THB and we got off. It was too crowded. I prefer places like Reggae Bar. You can enjoy the music while watching the Muay Thai.
7) Tips: Before you go out for party, pack up your stuff. So you don't need to rush up anything before you check out on the next day. I did that and it was one of the good tips I could share with you.
Day 3
07:30: Check out.
09:00: Ferry to Phuket
Minibus to Chalong
Check in at Phaitong Sotel Resort
-- Having meal, sightseeing etc
Note:
1)Nothing much on Day 3. It was more for relaxing time and Sightseeing.
2) If you wish to go to havoc places, you can go to Patong area. As for me, I've done partying. So, I booked a hotel at Chalong area. The main reason was, I wanted to go to Wat Chalong Temple and Big Buddha. but, we went to Wat Chalong. The Big Buddha was quite far.
3) We rent out a scooter for 300THB one day. They provide you helmet but you need to fuel up the scooter first. We went to Central Festival (it is a shopping centre since we wanted to go to the money changer) and Old Phuket Town. MAKE SURE you bring your GPS. We asked around the local. The locals were friendly and helpful. From the Old Phuket Town, we went to Wat Chalong. The temple was amazingly beautiful!
4) Around 8pm we went to Phuket Night Market. There were a lot of stuff you could find and as for me, I WANT FOOD. I wish I brought a lot of cash so that I could do some shopping too but, food come first, guys! Not to worry for those who're concern about halal food. There are few choices of halal food over there.
Day 4
04:30: Check out
Taxi to the airport.
Flight : HKT (08:10) - KUL (11:40)
Note:
1) Ask the hotel staff to call for taxi if you need to check out early in the morning. Phaitong Sotel Resort is the best place ever! From the room to the service. I could give 5/5. The staff was very nice! Eventhou we checked out around 4.30am, there were breakfast for us too! I would highly recommanded for those who wish to stay around Chalong area to go to Phaitong Sotel Resort!
These are my full expenses throughout the trip (For 2 people)
Hotel - 2194THB (I pre-booked the hotel at www.booking.com)
Transportation - 2450THB
Food, Beverages & Cigs - 2028THB
Others - 870THB
Total - 7542THB
7542THB = 905.04MYR
So basically, 450 myr per person without shopping!
Lastly, I would like to thank Skyscanner and Lipstiq.com for the flight tickets to Phuket! It was a memorable trip ever!
