A last minute checkout from Koh Lanta, a ferry ride across the Andaman Sea and we have arrived in Phuket, Thailand!
Lucky for us our condo front desk in Phuket also had scooter rentals so we were sure to get one early on as it makes getting around in the heat so much easier and we are located pretty far away from the main attractions. First things first with the scooter we take it to the local mall near us as our hub. It wasn't without a little excitement though as the roads are much busier and multi laned compared to driving in Koh Lanta. When we got our scooter it also had right on empty gas so we wanted to stop at the first station we saw on the way to the mall. We ended up taking a lane that turned into an underground tunnel to skip some of the bigger intersections, zooming a long with freeway traffic worrying if our gas would hold out. Luckily it did however so after a quick fill up, and a spot to find a u-turn we were heading back to the mall and made it! It was a pretty decent mall, must admit the food court was probably the best part though haha.
The next day we also took our scooter to a Big C supermarket. We had shopped at mini Big C's before as convenience stores but never been to this kind of one. It was huge, like a mega Walmart. We explored the food half and Alysha picked out a bunch of groceries to take advantage of our kitchenette and make some delicious home cooked meals. The next day we went back to explore the rest of the supermarket. Before you even enter the main area there are all sorts of other stores inside the Big C, and even franchises like KFC. That place had it all.
We also went to one of the night markets in our area one night. It was a busy weekend market with rows upon rows of vendors selling the usual merch on one end and then rows and rows of food vendors on the other end. The area was all closed in so it got super hot in there with all the cooking, humidity and just being packed with people so we explored it for a while then decided we'd come back another time earlier before peak hours to actually get some shopping in and beat the rush.
In the next video we check out Phuket's Old City Sunday night market as we can catch the regular weekend one next week easier. The market was in the middle of one of the main downtown streets in the old City. It is super popular and was a fun little walk around, we even left the scooter at home for a change. Then the next day we visit Phuket's Monkey Hill and watch some wild monkeys play and get a little hike in too before a movie date night.
Thanks for tuning in everyone and we'll catch you Saturday! 😊 If you enjoyed the video be sure to show your support and hit that like button and subscribe if you aren't, it means a lot to us!
