MY TRIP TO
PHUKET
Zachariah Thomas ( 5A )
My summer holidays were exciting as we planned a trip to Phuket . My family and I travelled from Cochin International Airport via Malaysia . We were excited as we landed at Phuket International Airport . We checked in at the Marriott Vacation club hotel Mai Khao . We received a traditional welcome by the friendly staff at the hotel . All of us loved the luxurious room that we stayed in . As the hotel was by the beach , we immediately headed out to explore the hotel and the beach . Phuket is well known for its clean white sandy beaches . It was really beautiful . Me and my father went for cycling around a lake close to the hotel . My mother and grandmother had a traditional Thai foot massage which they found relaxing . On the second day we went to the Tiger Kingdom . There we got to stroke tiger cubs . We saw big tigers in cages and clicked several pictures with them . Then we went to the Phuket museum where we saw historical artifact of Kingdom of Phuket . But what was
most surprising about the museum was that it had the largest display of gems and jewellery we had ever seen . On our way back to the hotel we stopped by the upside-down house , Here everything was displayed upside down . It was fun to click pictures . On the third day , we went for an elephant ride which was a lot of fun . We had heard a lot about the Night Market at Phuket and didn ’ t want to miss it . The Night Market had a lot of local food outlets and the food was unbelievably delicious . We were told to try the traditional Thai sticky rice with mango . It was nice but what I really enjoyed was the sticky pork and chicken on skewers . We also got to do a lot of shopping at the market which was fun . We were really sad that our trip was coming to an end and we had to return to India . We boarded the flight next day and reached Cochin International Airport . This was a trip I will never forget , and I would love to return to Phuket once again .
