hotel n what they don't tell..

day 2..

took a little walk around phuket town..checked out the familiar sights of their markets n streets..
checked out of my "hotel" because it was a nightmare.. u know.. u should never trust what's on the websites..esp. the photos.. man when i reached the place yest.. i was so shocked. the pictures on the sites were so centuries back i think. n i mean seriously. it was hell of a difference.

it was a huge building with LOTS of rooms.. corridor was superbly long.. but the interior looked very "abandoned"...corridor lights werent working.. doors were really old ..n it looked like u could easily kick the doors down anytime..
entered my room.. another shock. the wall paints were seriously coming off.. the smell was musty..the staff was trying to on the lights but apparently some of the lamps weren't working (he din seem bothered so i guess it's not unusual..)
noticed the sockets were falling off the wall.. n the carpet felt very very dusty n worn out..
(im not exaggerating..).. there's more but i don't really wanna recall them..

i wasn't expecting a posh place given the price i paid.. but honestly..they need to update their website..

anyway..changed to a new guest inn.. just about 10 bucks more.. but it's definitely much better. yea the paint was a little off.. n curtains bit stained.. but damn at least they have cable! i practically jumped on the bed n laid there watching 2 movies straight (deep blue n shrek 2)..

had an interesting evening too. met a UK couple who owns a luxury hotel in Khao Lak. they were very friendly n kind people for sure. was pretty amused to see a bungalow turned office, which had a very homely n warm feeling. i was really impressed by how they have managed to build this whole organisation n yet maintain a humble attitude towards things. i certainly look forward to meeting them again soon.

wonder what i ll do tmr. today was quite cloudy n wet, poured n drizzled throughout the evening. Im hoping tomorrow'll be a sunny day so I can get a tan!

and Im looking forward to visit my dearest dek dek (children) soon!

sabaai dee..
