2025 Diamond Princess Day 5 Phuket

Beautiful sunrise. We had to turn the clock to one hour earlier as we enter Thailand.






Awaiting to get to Phuket by tender boat at Savoy as there is priority disembarkation by tender for suite guests and those with Elite status.


Today's Patter








Our beautiful ship taken from our tender boat.

Us with Tai our driver from Friendly Phuket Taxi .

Very nice local Thai food at Mee Saam restaurant. Ordered the Tom yum Gong with very big prawn,mushrooms abd squid. Basil pork rice and fried Kang Kong were delicious, Otak fish not as good. The apom ,at 20 baht foe 4 pieces, and was awesome. Also bought the green snack and mango slices.













A mobile snack vendor appeared and many of the swarmed over. Managed to buy more snacks 12 baht each.









The cats at Space Cat are so adorable!. 200 Baht entry with ice cream. Hubby loves cats. Cats love him too!

























































Massage at Leelawadee




And Shopped for snacks at Phuket Premium


Back to the pier at Patong beach to board the tender. Find Phuket very crowded now. A lot of traffic jam. Took 1.5 hr to reach Ma Boo Dua instead of 40 mins as many cars are going to the elephant sanctuary. Then realise that the earliest for the taking of photo on the lily lake by Drone is 1pm . That's why we went over to the local restaurant which is a good recommendation by Tai.







Dinner at Sante Fe. Love their bread and better. Today's reserve special is veal schnitzel but both of us ordered fish n chips. Hubby added a lamb shank. We also ordered the bay scallop for appetiser. We ordered emmolo sauvignon blanc. Very fruity white wine that taste like yuzi. Also ordered 24K Margarita and Merlot Red wine.









Delay in departure as one tour group was caught in the traffic jam. I was worried earlier too when I saw the traffic. Almost half an hour late.




Dessert was orange sorbet, vanilla ice cream with strawberry sauce topping and fruit platter.




The somalier,  Noel, from the Philippines recommended good wine!


Took some photographs at deck 6 and 7. We could download all the digital photos and print 6 8R under the premier package. 

















Guess the weight. The cat sculpture is so beautiful 

No wonder the Jamme band is so popular. They performed many popular songs like this one by Bee Gees "How deep is your love".





Watched Monique Montez performance in the theatre. Ordered to go from deck 5 Good Spirit Bar hot chocolate and hot milk. Too bad Oceannow does not deliver to the theatre.











Took a photo with Monique and sent her the video recordings for her mum!
