Phuket Pics (Night Life)

This time, I'll post the NIGHT LIFE pics of Phuket, including shots taken in the infamous Bangla Road. It's Patong's version of red light district (but it's very mild compared to European counterparts).

WARNING: Contents may be unsuitable for innocent children! ;)

.Pretending to hail for a cab. We were pretty amused by the taxi stop

One of Patong's big shopping markets

Nat, Sherene, Ps John & Janielle walking thru the shops

Typical store by the roadside selling clothes

Just some random advertising boards

Air Asia amongst the popular airlines

Massage ladies. Every nite when we walked pass the Rat-U-Thit Road, they'll "harassed" and offer us their services. Here's their usual line: "Sir, you want massage? Very cheap..."

By now they had given up. Might as well just post for my camera!

The ladies of each shop wore different colour skirts. And they changed their colours every day! Very confusing sometimes

This is the infamous Christin Massage parlour, only a couple of minutes by walking from where we stayed. They claimed to be served by 50 gorgeous Thai masseuses, offering 'extra services'. Did we go in? Find out in my coming post!

Jungceylon Shopping Centre! We had no idea how huge the place really was until our 2nd last day!

This was taken very near to Bangla Road

One of the joints at Bangla Road. One nite, some of us stood and analyzed the gender of the pole dancers (not me)!

More drinking joints

More dancers. This fat lady (maybe a bloke!) in blue disgusts me. Felt more likely to puke here than at the sea with the choppy waves!

Closer shot of the dancers

I don't know what this girl was selling, but Adrew thought it was interesting

Sexy dancers at the 'balcony' bar upstairs in another joint

These were definitely blokes! Selling cheap drinks

Lady in a hideous mask selling Thai kickboxing shorts

Interesting range of weapons were sold there. The seller didn't like me shooting pics without buying anything. Was chased off, again!

Assorted types of entertainment at Bangla Road

Nately posing with a beautiful and tall bloke

Sherene's turn

I didn't want to be left out! And Ps John sportingly joined me as well. But he looked uncomfortable, haha!

A foreigner getting tattooed. He was in pain. But noticing us shooting pictures, he smiled for the shot

Nat & Sherene playfully posed with umbrellas at the fountain in the background

Umbrella models shot #2

Father & daughter posing with the Royal Paradise Hotel, the tallest building seen at Patong. This was after our divers' graduation buffet dinner inside there

Sherene & Jan posing with the building. I was lying on the ground for this. But a little shaky. Can you see the two red dots like eyes in the sky looking down? No, I didn't add them. If I brighten the pic in Photoshop, I could notice a shape in the clouds. Freaky!

Freaky bits of the trip:

#1 During the later part of the trip, Ps John said he felt (a few times) someone was missing although all of us were there! So who was there at the earlier part of the trip? Who was that extra person?!

#2 Jacky and Andrew's bedroom door and knob was constantly banged during the nights (they slept together at the top floor). The first time Jacky opened the door, he saw no one. The other night it happened, Andrew asked Jacky to open and check, but Jacky just said it was no one, too scared to go near the door again. Ask him!

Wait for my next post for more.
