Things to do when it rains in Phuket

Share

We have not all come to Phuket for the rain but Phuket does have a rainy season (all be it  of a changeable date but here are some suggestions from my blog

    1) Dentist

  - you can always use this App to find one but I use Suan Luang Clinic    Phone No. 076 - 222 579

    2) Cinema

  - you can always use this App to find out what is showing

    3) Nail Painting

    4) 10 pin bowling

    5) Drink Coffee in Phuket Town

    6) Take a trip with John Gray Sea Canoe

    7) Visit the Butterfly Garden and Insect Garden

    8) Phuket Aquarium 

  - don't forget the Turtle Breeding at the back

   9) Visit a Museum

Here are some ideas - Spas are another popular trip but I am not well versed in Spas - I would rather drink coffee and play Candy Crush. There there is shopping.

Monkey Seeing on Siray Island (nr. Phuket Town)

Share

We were on our way to Koh Sirey Island and we have visited the monkeys already.  There is a canal / waterway on the other side of the road.

We visit here, parking on one side where we can buy food very cheaply for the monkeys.

Well it was a little different this time because there was a gentleman walking in the swamp and onto the marsh and he was collecting something and he was wearing a KFC bucket on his head...

The feeding was simply throwing the corn / peanuts and bananas over the wall... fun for my daughter. 

The monkeys seemed to be a little careful today and we had throw quite a long way - a lot of fun for us.

We then investigated the Chinese Shrine on top of the island and went out for a pizza - but that's another posting.

Sam Se Ju Hud Chinese Shrine

Share

I always love to investigate the beautiful Chinese Shrines when I am in Phuket Town BUT I always feel that it is imperative to leave a donation - so when I take Jemma I always ask her to Wai when we enter and she loves to ring the bell - leaving a donation in the box.

The beauty of visiting the Chinese Shrines throughout Phuket is that they are always changing and many are not on some of the maps which the visitor receives.

Sam Se Ju Hud Chinese Shrine is at the bottom of Rang Hill on the outskirts of Phuket Town and I have visited it previously and I took a number of photographs today.

This visit was special because this time I noticed more things - I do not know whether they were there previously but...

The pillars in front of the Shrine have small figures on a cloud - I believe that they are telling us a story?

There were wooden bells on the surfaces of the shrine and I do not know what they are but they look like cow bells.

What was the chilli display for?

Please don't forget the donation, the waterfall at the back and the prayer room at the back.
