HKT Day 3│ Jungceylon • Sunset over Patong • Baan Thai!

The Search Begins

Our day kicked off at Facetime in Jungceylon, hoping to find my missing sai sin. No luck. We drifted into Adidas Originals, where a white collared jersey, shorts, nine pairs of socks, and Cat’s cute pink handbag brought our total to THB6,880 + THB1,190. We met Brendan at NaRaYa and grabbed makeup and toiletry pouches for THB600.

Lunch at Food Bazaar

Down at Jungceylon’s lower ground floor, Food Bazaar delivered a hearty spread — Pad Khra Pow, stewed meat leg rice, basil chicken, crispy meat, mango sticky rice, and a parade of iced drinks — all for THB932.

Robinson’s, Big C, and Luggage Reality

We walked over to Big C, stopping briefly at Robinson’s. Cat eyed a few things but skipped them; our luggage space was already stretched thin.

Levi’s, Skechers, and a Sweet Discount

Back inside Jungceylon, a quick break led us to Levi’s for the elusive bucket hat. No luck again. But Skechers tempted us with sales: Cat’s yellow sneakers, my dark brown work shoes, and a base cap that unlocked a 30% discount — THB3,918.60 in total.

The Walk Back to Patong Heritage

We made the familiar walk back — neon lights flickering, tuk tuks buzzing, grills smoking, tourists drifting in the heat. At Brendan’s room, his half empty yellow submarine swallowed both our new shoes, saving us from buying extra luggage. We retreated to our cool studio to escape the searing afternoon.

Brendan’s Tattoo Session

Off camera, Brendan headed to Seed Tattoo for his piece with Rucky — Harry Houdini hanging upside down, inspired by a My Chemical Romance album cover.

Sunset Mission

At 5:45pm, we checked on Brendan’s tattoo, set up a timelapse camera, then continued to Patong Beach. A small Chang and a Coke made our seaside loungers just THB240. We filmed the sunset as the sky melted into gold.

Beach Closure

An hour later, a beach officer politely asked us to leave — no beachgoers after sunset, likely tied to recent enforcement against foreigners sleeping on the beach. We’d already captured our timelapse, so we packed up.

Solara Massage & Final Dinner

At Solara Massage, Brendan and I chose the Neck, Shoulder & Foot Massage, while Cat enjoyed the Aroma Massage — THB900 each for ninety minutes of bliss. Hunger struck, so we headed to Baan Thai Restaurant for omelettes, creamy tom yum, noodles, and brown sugar milk teas. Our final Phuket dinner: THB815.

The Last Walk

We took one final, slightly melancholic stroll across Rat Uthit Song Roi Pi Road, letting Patong’s night sounds settle into memory as we made our way back to Patong Heritage — the quiet acceptance that the trip was ending with every step.

Stay tuned for the next video as Mr. Chainasak picks us up at the crack of dawn for our return flight to Kuala Lumpur!
