Teambuilding in Phuket - 05 - Homebound

Please refer to previous postings.

It was a very interesting Teambuilding session and I believe everyone enjoyed it immensely. After 3 days and 2 nights in Phuket, it was time to go back home. Here is the airport terminal in Phuket.

We flew by MAS and the 737 - 800 was already on the tarmac waiting for us.

Next year we would plan for another trip - but with a twist!!!

Teambuilding in Phuket - 04 - Bangla Road, Restaurants, Etc.

Please refer to previous posting.

The road outside the resort is so busy and provincial town-like. Very haphazard. Crossing the road is a skill only for the brave. Note the miles of power lines overhead.

That night we had dinner at our of their restaurants called Three Spices. The weird thing about this is that you need to exit the resort first, walk about 50 meters on the public road before entering the restaurant. I guess, when they built the restaurant, there was no space available in the resort itself.

The food is just so-so.

We had our team-building session in a small meeting room.

For lunch, we went to another restaurant under the resort called The Bistro. Had Thai food. It was wonderful.

When we went there the weather was very downcast and rainy.

The famous Bangla Road at dusk.

At night, Bangla Road starts to be lively. This is a pure tourist spot. Practically everywhere you look you see foreigners.

Teambuilding in Phuket - 02 - Arrived in Phuket and lunch at the Royal Phuket Marina

[Please refer to the previous posting]

After getting our luggage and passing immigrations, we boarded our bus to make our way to our hotel on Patong Beach. The drive is expected to last for one hour. As we arrived at noon, we took a short detour to the Royal Phuket Marina which was on the way to the hotel.

Half an hour later we arrived at the Marina.

There's a lot of boats at the piers. Note also the dark clouds. Despite it being noon, the felt like dawn.

The Marina complex. Looks quite dead.

The bungalows you see in the horizon are part of the Marina. You can buy them.

The gang getting ready to eat. The menu is Thai food. The food was excellant.

As usual, checking stuff on hand phones is a must.

We then hopped backed into the bus for our final leg of the day - Impiana Resort Patong. Half and hour later from the Marina, we arrived at Patong Beach.

Very busy place.
