I went to Phuket alone for 4 days... It's one of short trips in my private August's vacation.
I set everything up at end of July, air ticket was reserved immediately on 31st June
before miles on Royal Orchid Plus(Thai Airways mileage program) get expired. (This's origin of my trip again)
So I still behave unthoughtfulness, indeed.
I researched and booked some 1-day-trip tour as I read that Phuket's taxi is triple price of what it is in Bangkok.
I won't waste time and money for those cabs but sometimes want to use their regular public transportations..
to try how local live and travel. It'd take longer time but absolutely cheap.
It's my first time diving.. By the way, I haven't try alone.. the speed boat captain help me to get around
and take pics on first snorkelling.., in deep water. Then when I went to Khai Nai Beach, it's shallow
I can got by myself.. Unfortunately we didn't back to the deep one again T__T
My camera is waterproof. So it's fun having camera while enjoy the sea.
Some place doesn't allow camera.. so regretfully eg. museam at Phra Thong Temple,
there are many interesting item.. such as opium piping pillow, grand-Chinese 1-pillow-1-mat,
red noblewoman shoes, original antique television.
Following is short list of places I visited and activities.

Every one I spoke to has been wondered why I went there alone. There's no reason and hard to descript
my history in short time, so I joked that I got no friend. Of course, they wouldn't believe and ask me the real reason again.
I don't think travelling alone is such weird.. I'm not asocial but willing to go anywhere even if there's no friend come along.
Loneliness is not too bad.. you can get lots of new friends out there.. just say hi.. and have a talk.
Thank you my new friends, Sandrine, and Doireann, we share the pics we took after each other got back our home countries.
Hotel I chose is Sugar Palm Resort& Spa at Kata beach. It's well decorated and located just 2 minutes walk from the beach.
See hotel website www.sugarpalmphuket.com Phuket package tour www.tourtalay.com taxi service www.phuketmadeeasy.com
I spent a total of 13k THB for this trip included all expenses, transportations and tax.
My holidays then ended and I have to go back to work.. but not so soon..
my laziness often win my willing to start new work. I want new plan for diving.. stuck with it now ah.. =__=
