Hi,

Last few weeks ago, I was traveling by bus for visiting Phuket. It was my second time.    I took a VIP bus 24 seats, it costs 1047Baht/way/pax, it takes 12 hours from Bangkok to Phuket. This bus will depart from the Southern Part Bus Station   It is another save way for the people who is in a budget or it is another choice for tourists who is interesting to try another way to travel beside by plan.   http://www.transport.co.th/main.asp

The bus was delayed and departed around 8h15 at night and around 11h15 it stopped for passengers to have supper or have rest rooms and the driver also have chance to take a break. The driver drove well and not fast so I can sleep along the way to Phuket happily. It stopped one time for changed the Driver and passengers had change for rest rooms and supper.  According to my hometown is at the Northern of Thailand so I am use to with sitting on the bus many hours.  In my opinion the way to south of Thailand s much better than to the North as the roads are not so zigzag and not so complicated as at the Northern Part of Thailand.  

I was traveling alone so it is not that big fun but I still enjoy the trip as Phuket s'people are very nice to meet.  Anyhow , it was rainning at day time so I spent most part for my sleeping.

I stayed at a newly open resort at central of Patong beach  area as I would like take the place where I can find thing easily.  I was traveling alone and I don't want to spend alot of time about getting lost.

La Flora Patong Resort was the place I have chance to overnight and I will not forget it.  This resort is located between Impiana Cabana Resort and Patong Bay Garden where is centrally located in the heart of Patong.  La flora Resort Patong is only 6 months old resort which is located in most busiest area of Phuket but when I have checked in to my room, it made me feel home and I feel so relax.

I stayed at the deluxe pool view , the room comes with sea view where I can enjoy the view from the balcony (room number 225) . The size of rooms is quiet big above 40 SqM. i love the bath room that it is seperated Bahttub and showers ...ah there are 2 options for showers , the regular one and rain shower.  I loves the hotel s' amenities (shampoo, conditioner and etc. )

I had oppotunity to meet a good friend in Phuket and we went to see beach at Khao Lak area.  Overall, the trip to Phuket was lot of fun.  Maybe I will make it again this coming holiday with my close friends.  My life so far is far from perfect but I only take deep breath and keep telling myself that the happiness is choice not chance.   Just wishing all of friends overhere  are happy so far. Happy Holiday to all of you. 

Hope u had a nice time.

I miss phuket a lot.Hope to get there in the next year.

lovely hotel and I can see that you had a impressive moment
