Percutian ke Phuket

Destination - Phuket

Me, MrG and Baby E went for a short getaway earlier May.

It was a birthday present from MrG. A combo celebration with Mother's day.

It was a crazy month for both of us at work, Baby E and home that we only managed to book the trip  the night before. The cons : last minute air tix normally cost more.

We flew on Air Asia for this trip with tickets cost less than RM1000 for a return flight for 2 adults and 1 infant. This includes baggage, food and premium seat selection.

Not too bad actually but word of advice its always best to book ahead of time. Kalau book wayyyy in advance especially during sales period pasti dapat harga yang lebih murah. Could easily save half or even more than what we had to pay.

So the plan was to stay 2 nights in Kata + 2 nights in Ma Khao = 5 days 4 night trip

Why stay in two different area on the same trip?

 Well. Thats how we occasionally plan our trips. A win win value for money. Enjoy luxurious yet keep it affordable.

Kicking off in a cheeper option, to enjoy more outdoor activities without feeling the waste. Dine in restaurants nearby and enjoy good massage at a cheeper rate.

Then move to a nicer quieter resort or villa far far away

The trip would be our 10th visit to Phuket. ok I'm #Exaggerating

But ya we've been here way too many time and so far have stayed in most areas including - Patong, Kamala, Surin, Kata and Ma Khao..

But Kata has always been our favourite.

I often hear complaints by other parents. Travelling with infant can be challenging.

But Alhamdullilah we've enjoyed our trips most with Baby E and look forward to explore together in future. Insyaallah.

Asalkan baby e cukup makan, susu and nap. we're good to go.

Word of advice. Make sure you pack sufficient clothes, milk and diapers from home. Yes you can always buy at the location but its always best to come full prepared. Save you the hassle to cari-cari kedai there.

Location of your accomodation should also be taken into consideration when travelling with younger kids.

Too much sun no no for younger kids. Try to look for hotel within the area you wanna spend time most.

So when ever they need to take a nap or wash up after poo poo. You know you're close by.

On this trip we stayed at SugarPalm Hillside in Kata

The pros - Pool access room for RM190 per night, couple of steps from our comfy bed we can jump straight into the pool. Good food, massage, beach is just around the corner (less than 5 min walk) at an unbelievable cheap price, Kata is less crowded compared to Patong with zero party scene.

Cons : The hotel is situated on a hill, A walk up and down, expecially when pushing a stroller can be challenging.

Thai pancake the best! Its halal too. Dekat je dengan hotel

Fresh juice or shake on hot sunny day for THB100

Ma Khao on the other hand, are super secluded. Far from it all. (Like super far) An hour from Patong but closer to airport about 15-20 minutes away. Surrounded by few resorts.

We stayed at Sala Phuket for 2 nights before ending our trip.

The predict : Sumpah best! Highly recommended.

The pool villa cost RM650 per night including breakfast.

Yes it may not be cheap for some but if you have the extra and searching for that perfect villa to be. They are worth every penny.

Why? It was a definitely relaxing, memorable. romantic and one of our favourite villa-to-go-to so far.

So much fun. Jumping into our private pool. Lazing around with no worries in the world. Watching the sunset by the beach. and just be us. for a fabulous 3 days.

Overall the trip to SugarPalm Hillside Kata and Sala Phuket just what Ive expected and wanted for my bday celebration.

P.S. Thank you McG. I love you. Always and of course Baby E.
