Star Cruise Penang-Krabi-Phuket: Day 3

On our second morning aboard the Star Cruise Libra, we reached the shores of Phuket. Unlike yesterday’s excursion, the ship was able to port here and we just needed to stroll down onto the port. Still, we had some time to kill before we were actually allowed to disembark…


There were no incidents with the local tour operators this time because we knew exactly where we wanted to go and the operator took us exactly there in a rather posh MPV.


This is certainly not your usual list of things not allowed – not back home anyway.


And before we knew it, we reached our destination…


Once we found a suitable spot along this pristine coastline, we quickly settled down and prepared ourselves for some serious fun in the sun.


Everyone certainly fell for this locality. I mean, what’s there not to love. It certainly has it all.


Beach…


Babes…


And booze…


A couple of us wanted more than just a good tan on their bodies from this visit to the beach. Edwin got himself a tattoo and a new hairdo.


Kar Yee, on the other hand, opted for the tattoo only.


We had to replenish all our energy that was spent on the beach and this beachside food stall certainly welcomed our presence and business.


From the beach, we headed out onto the streets.


Apart from the excellent shopping, there was certainly still plenty of other things for us to explore and experience.


Some of the items on display were certainly visually “appealing”…


The nightlife is one of the things we missed out on this short trip. That alone is good enough a reason for a second trip back to this tourist hotspot.


Something tells us that this isn't the first time that Kee has been here...


When we finally got back to the port in the evening, we were greeted by numerous street stalls capitalizing on all the business generated by the patrons of the cruise and that included us.


As tonight was our last on the ship, the crew threw a Farewell Party for everyone to enjoy and danced the night away.


I guess some of us are just not built for life at sea.
