Around Aonang

Today we spent the day at Aonang beach, it's really like a mini Phuket, except that stuffs here are much more expensive than Phuket, but less sleazy I guess. It's considered the low season now here so there's the big sale sign everywhere still like I said stuffs are much more expensive than Phuket. Learnt that Phuket was about 2 hours away by car. Bought some sundresses for Niki and yes another pair of sandals for her .. seriously she has quite a selection of footwear for someone's who's not even four yet. A mini Imelda that one!

There tons of resorts around Aonang areas, we found that there's some okay ones priced pretty reasonably around RM150 per room night. But again it's a matter of choice, since we preferred a much quieter location with a beach out front the Amari is pretty much wonderful to us. What's more it's a private beach so it's way cleaner than the Aonang beach.

Though it's the low season there was still lots of tourists around especially from the UK and Scandinavian countries.

We had lunch over at the Aonang Thai Restaurant which served up pretty authentic Thai food and the Tom Yam Goong was fragrant with the right amount of spiciness which we appreciated.

Right now we're back at the Resort, and Niki & Vicky are in one of the five pools here. Yup the Amari has five pools; and only 57 rooms .. pretty cool yeah. And yes, we're watching the sun set from the poolside, it's magnificent :) especially with the Hong Islands surrounding us.

Tonight we're driving out in our rented Vios and having dinner either at Paddy's or one of the nice restaurants in Aonang. It's hard to believe that it's our third say here and we're flying off tomorrow. We're gonna miss the Amari and the people here who's made us feel so welcomed.
