Day 5 at Phuket

Little bit of shopping today at Phuket Town (Robinsons shopping centre). First impressions were its just like Myers!

Once you walk around though, you realise that each section is like a mini store being taken care off by a little group of people.

There were a few things that were cheap like Disney bags from $8 and women's shoes from $10. Others were close to or dearer than Aussie prices.

Then went across the road to look at some shoes (genuine Converse) and picked up one for myself for a measly 590Baht ($20). How much do we Aussies get hammered with shoe prices!!

Not only shoes though, 1.5ltr Coke for $0.77, Chocolate bun from a cake shop for $0.48, half hour in a taxi for $13.00, Dinner for 4 (fried rice, prawns, yellow curry chicken, fresh fish and chips, spaghetti with 3 soft drinks) for only $24.00

2 Bedroom House and land here cost 1.2mil Baht ($413,000). Car hire for 24hrs is 1200Baht ($41). Laundry costs 50Baht per kilo ($1.70)
