This visit was my first visit to Thailand and all thanks to my hubby that in between his really busy work schedule, he somehow managed to take leave from office, and as he really wanted to visit Phuket, so here we made plans during his birthday in November.

DAY 1 Here we come, we booked grab in afternoon and in 1.5hr reached Tinggi.  Usually It takes approx 45mins from Kuala Lumpur. There we found out that if anyone reserves any of the resorts over there or goes by

Have spent my childhood in this town, so as you know wherever one spends there childhood, you have so many sweet memories about that location, and after growing up, especially whenever you go visit that same city, then you cherish each and every place where you have being in your childhood, and the same is the case with me.
