After taking Dimsum at JJ, dear drive us to the next Hotel at Desaru.

Is too early for checking in so we proceed to have Lobster for lunch.

The food was fabulous...

Once we finished our food we drive back to the resort.

Kids love their water theme park, they go for the lazy river for many many times.

They love the room too whereby there are 2 level.

The hotel is a bit rundown but the kids are fine with it.

They also have lot of fun at the beach.

I am serving a migraine so didn't join them to the beach, I do enjoy some quiet time as Hubby is helping me to take care of them.

We had room service that night, food was just fine...

Mid Year Trip - Day 3 Lego Water Park

The booking comes with a free Breakfast for us, I don't really like the food and the huge crowd.

After BF we proceed to the water park, Kids are very happy as they can try all the slides.

They spend most of the time at the wave pool.

We spend about 2 hours at the park, I return back to the hotel to pack our luggage.

Drive to Tebrau for a night stay near Jusco, we watched a show about Sleeping Beauty.

Mid Year Trip - Day 2 Lego Lego Lego

Highlight of the trip is staying in Lego Hotel + Lego Land + Lego water park...

We left the hotel early for bf and drove to Legoland, just about 15mins journey.

We check in once we reached the Hotel and they passed us the admission tickets to the park.  While waiting for the room to be ready.

As Rayen is not feeling well so we plan to skip water park and spend more time in Legoland.

They informed us the room is available after 1hr + of waiting.

Justen had fun in Mindstorm and we took 1 of the ride.

Rayen is complaining of burning throat so we skip most of the ride.

Our trip are very relaxing as we afraid that the ride might be too taxing for Rayen.

We had our lunch at Fish & Co.  Is a restaurant near to Legoland.

After lunch we went back to the theme park and took some more ride.

I brought Rayen back for a nap and Hb brought Justen to the water park.

Both of them mentioned that the waterpark is fun.

We drove to Trader hotel for our buffet dinner, but their setting was disappointing.

Despite of the food, we had a good time together.

Phuket Day 4

Last fun day in Phuket, and we do not have any plan, just decided to laze in the villa...

Kids are happy to go to the kids club and we quickly go for a quick massage.

We allowed kids to order lunch to our villa while we have a dip in the pool.

After lunch we brought them to the kids club again and we walk to the other alley which is nearer to the beach.  We had a good afternoon tea in one of the resort.

While returning, hubby went for another round of massage while I went back to see the 2 kids.

They are still having fun.  I have a good chat with the staffs in the club and we went to the pool when the sun is going to set.

 
Justen met a European and have good time with him.  Rayen also having lot of fun in the pool.  After that we brought the kids to the beach, while watching the sun setting, the kids only interested in making sand castle.

We went back to wash up and return for our last dinner in Phuket, we choose 2 big lobster and have a hearty meal in the restaurant.  After dinner we go back to the resort that we came in the afternoon and have some dessert and drinks.

Hubby brought the kids back and I go back for my massage.

After the body twisting I am feeling very relieved...

Order another 2 sets of Pancake and back our luggage as the next day we need to wake up at 6am.

 Is a short and fruitful trip and I enjoy every single moment with my loves.

Phuket Day 3

Today we are going for John Gray's Sea Canoeing.  The car ride is about 1 hour to the other side of the island.  After reaching the jetty we are greeted with nice native people.  We are bought to a boat and after the boat ride we are served with lunch, I only took their spring roll as other food don't look yummy to me.

The ride is quite smooth.  We reach the 1st cave 1hr later and 2 of us are assigned to a guide.  A middle age lady take care of us.  Rayen is a bit Xian about the canoe and she complaint is dirty so she insist to sit on my lap 8(

We are brought into the cave by the canoe and the lady told us that each day only 1hr to go into the cave.  The water is very swallow inside and we get to see some mud snapper and prawns.

They told us that that is mangrove cave.  We also go to Demon Cave whereby the lime stone are shiny like diamond.  We saw people bought orange into the cave and there are monkey jump toward them and took away the fruit.  Is very dangerous I think.  People also climb up tree to take picture but our tour guide feel that they are not doing the right thing and they are destroying the nature.

After the 2 cave we are brought back to the boat and they serve us snack.  Muffin and watermelon.  Then they sail to another cave call the Hong something.  I like this place the most.  As after going into the cave is another magnificent view.  Our guide told me that 1 of the island is like James Bond Island #2...

Anyway is so enjoyable to just watching the nature.

The lady brought us to a beach and Justen start looking for hermit crab but he didn't get to see any.

Rayen found a lot of seashell.  They had a good time playing with sands.

After that the lady let them do some canoeing.

We had our dinner on board and I start to feel a bit giddy while those making floating lantern using banana trunk and leaves.

After dinner we took the canoe again and release the lantern.  Is good to know that they bring it back after sending blessing and making wishes.

The boat stay to bring us back to the jetty and back to resort.  We are dog tired after reaching our room.  Kids sleep straight after bathing and I go for a Thai Massage after bath.

I brought back Banana Nutella Pancake for supper.

Is a good dessert to end the day.

Phuket Day 2

I am a bit confuse with Thailand timing which is 1hr later than us, so I wake up at 6am Thailand time which is 5am SG time.

We had very early breakfast at 7.30am.  The buffet spread is nothing to wah about, but my kids are very happy with their toasted till brown bread with butter.

After BF we walk around the resort and let the kids play at the playground.  They are having lot of fun.

We like this resort a lot.

A pickup picked us up at 9.30am.  Kids are very excited to take a truck ride.  We bought a package at 3400 baht from a lady which also provide us all the rest of our tour package at a very reasonable price.

I am a bit regret to book for the elephant ride once I see 1 of the elephant is chained.  I keep saying sorry to the one which fetch me and Justen thought that I am a bit annoying.  I felt sorry for the elephant.  I also afraid that it might trip.

The kids are very excited and they are very happy to feed the elephant after the ride.

We proceed to ATV ride after the elephant ride.  I surrendered just after I go into bushes, I ask the coach to guide Justen instead.  Justen is very happy to ride on the ATV as the coach let him to be in controlled.

Both of the kids have good time riding while I walk around the area and wait for them to finish the ride.

After that the driver send us back to our resort.

Kids are still energetic so we went for a swim at the kids pool.  Justen get to know a friend from UK and having lot of fun with him.

I ordered Pizza and have myself hide under the shade.  I hate sunlight...

After about 1hr of swimming we decided to went back to our room and get some rest.

Rayen sleep a lot during the trip.

After her nap, we planned to walk along the Karon street.  I took the wrong path so end up we are leading to some place not very interesting.  Justen and Rayen start complaining so we quickly settle down at a small restaurant and order some food before walking back to the resort.

Brought the kids to the kids club while we spend some we time at the room.

I went for a massage at 250 baht for 30 mins.  Very comfortable after massaging.

I enjoy the relaxing time at the resort.

We decided to have our dinner at the resort and we made the right choice as the food they served are really very delicious.  Daren had pork chop and I had very tender tenderloin. 2 kids ordered Spiderman Pasta.

We went back to room after dinner as tomorrow we will have a whole day at the sea.

Phuket Day 1

This is our 1st trip to Thailand and I bought 4 set of air asia tickets at a very low price at 560sgd half year ago... We decided on Centara Karon Resort which is not near to the main Patong Beach.  Less crowded and beach are nicer.  We booked 3 days family room and 1 days in a villa.

Rayen had a high fever 2 days before our trip.  We are prepared with medicine and anti biotic for the trip.  She is not feeling well while we check in, but got better after taking some medication.

We let the kids play at the playground before boarding.  Kids are all excited to sit near the window sit.  Rayen fallen asleep when the plane take off.

We booked a driver just the same day before departure it cost us 2500 baht and is a right choice since the road toward our resort is rather steep.  We check in and was told by the receptionist that we are given an upgrade to villa for our 4 days stay.

Our villa is very near to the lobby and is so cozy.  Only problem we are facing is we are welcomed by mozzie too.  I asked the person about the mozzie problem and she say yes there is a lot of mozzie...  They provide an insect repellent but we have to pay for it.  Anyway I am well prepared with mozzie patch and insect repellent too.  All I need is a bottle of insecticide.

After checking in our luggage, we followed the driver to an restaurant for our late lunch at 4pm.  He recommended a Thai Restaurant #6 and the food there are just so so only.

After our lunch we walk to their mall to buy some souvenirs for the family and colleagues.

The mall is not very interesting but we manage to spend 2000+ baht in their supermarket.  Justen is a bit shock with the figure.

We called the driver to fetch us once we done with our shopping.

Our next destination is Patong Beach Nite Market, but really nothing interest us.  We managed to try out the banana nutella pancake akas banana nutella roti prata which is good.  We bought ice-cream for the kids and drank 2 coconuts.  Justen also bought a Thailand cowboy hat for himself.

We decided to go back resort at 9pm and reach our room 15mins later.

Kids still energetic and start writing their journal.
