Finally i have finished uploading all the pics onto Multiply and have the time to update on this long over due blog. But am lazy to give details :P so here is a brief blogging of what i have done:
Went on a 3 days retreat to Phuket from 06/10 - 08/10 with my company. Its only slightly subsidized and we have to pay the bulk of it. But anyway, its a great trip with great company. There are altogther 30 of us and we were staying at Royal Paradise Hotel, which is about 10 mins walk from Patong Beach.
On the first day, we went to visit some tourist attractions like their temples, Cashew Nut Factory. The rest of the day is free and easy and we went to explore the beach.
Second day- We went to Phi Phi island for snorkeling. At first was very excited as i heard that its a good place to dive! But in the end, everyone was disappointed. The spot where they brought us for snorkelling was very dirty. The water was choppy and visibility underwater is a good as zero. Couldn't even take a decent underwater pic. But luckily we still have quite a good time back at the shore, whereby we just went for a bit of swimming and photo taking...haha

Posing for the cam
After returning to mainland, we were dropped off at some shopping area to spend the rest of the evening until dinner time. But an afternoon of dealing with choppy waters, everyone was tired. Thus we stopped over at Swensens and have some ice-creams!!

And on the last day, we went for a cave tour. Its quite an interesting tour as the whole cave is flooded with water and each of us need to carry a Head Light (like those rubber plantation workers). The first part of the journey is being done on canoe and the rest of the journey require us to walk in water with the depth that is reaching my knees (we were pre-warned thus everyone was in shorts). Its actually a Limestone cave. Nothing spectular and the only fun part is the water adventure thats all...
While waiting for the canoe to ferry us into the cave
As this cave is quite far away from town (2 hrs drive), thus when we came back to Phuket its time to go for dinner. Then after that, its time to go home!
