with one comment

The last day of the trip. The cab would pick us up at 10:30am from On On Hotel. By the way, we used the cab that gave us the trip at the late afternoon.

We had breakfast at the coffee shop around the area.

Tene was enjoying the cantonese fried yellow mee.

Another one…

This is Phuket Center Apartment. One of the accomodation that I have enquired for my trip.

Here he is, our cab. On the way, he was kind enough to drop us at some places that we have not visited, like below.

History of Heroin Monument.  It was a history behing this monument. There were these 2 island heroin sisters name Thao Thep Krasattri (Chan) and Thao Sri Soonthorn (Mook), that helped to ward off a planned invasion of Phuket by Burmese troop back in 13 March 1785.  They gathered 500 women and dressed up as men and hold fake weapon to parade around the city day and night. Burmese troop thought that they have too many soldiers and withdrew. Thus, King Rama I built the monument to remembered the brave sisters.  Every year between 7 March to 22 March, there will be ceremony to celebrate the 2 sisters.

The sleeping buddha…donno what’s the name in Thai.

We stopped by a local shop for some local food too.

Next, we reached the airport and checked in, for home.
