Woke up on the second day in the Somerset to this sunrise off the balcony.  It was early, and I had a flight to catch within the next few hours.

Hoped into a taxi and started discussing the plan of attack for when we landed in Phuket. There was no plan, really, but to eat some good seafood.

Checking in at Thai airways counter.

In less than 2 hours later we landed in a very hot Phuket.

Grabbing a ride from the airport, we tell the driver about our quest for good seafood. She recommended a spot that was on the way to the hotel.

However, it was a short boat ride away.

Starting up the engine.

Stepping foot onto the restaurant.

Where the different fresh seafood is kept.

Video of one of the workers catching the shrimp for part of our meal.

Weighing the shrimp for price.

Tried to do the Corona commercial feel with the Singha beer but didn’t quite work out as planned.

Cheers because our food here.

The shrimp all cooked.

Threw a little bit of everything onto my plate.  I was ready to dive in.

The aftermath.

After our delicious meal, we stopped into a gun range.  A spontaneous decision, but hey why not?

Ready for the first shot.

After checking into the Amari Hotel and resting up a bit, we took a look at Patong where the night life goes down.

To be honest it wasn’t my sort fun, but I guess it was good to grab a few drinks and check out the atmosphere.

Best part for me was discovering that the McDonald’s here served cheese fries.  Eat it while taking the tuk tuk back to the hotel.

Quick clip from the tuk tuk looking out at the scene.

What I do admire about this restaurant and bar is the interior decoration. The entrance shown here gives a good visual of better things to come.

Glenmorangie, the usual sponsor for events held at SOHO.

Walking through towards the entrance of the bar. Branding everywhere as you can see.

Inside was packed with minimal room to maneuver. You won’t find a dedicated dance floor, so be prepared to rock it from where you’re seated.

Peeping through the bar.

First performance of the night was a quick 10-15min dance by these ladies.

Followed by a dance group using glow sticks in their act.

This fella was one of the main performers for the night. A few girls were screaming for him, so I’m guessing he’s some known local singer.

Audience getting excited for the next act.

This young lady I believe won the Shanghai version of ‘American Idol’.

Her voice was pretty good, and she sang some tough English songs.

One of the last performances of the night. I was beat after 4 hours, but it was the hip-hop music between each show that kept me going. Although SOHO is not my preferred nightlife locations it may be worthwhile to check out.

Been extremely busy ever since the first day I arrived. It was finally time to relax, a little. Went over to a pool hall close to Novel Place at the corner of Tianyaoqiao Road and Xingeng Road.

This was my first time playing snooker as I usually play regular 8-ball. Never played on a table this big, so you really need to squint your eyes for those long range shots. I must put in more practice to compete with my friends. Smaller tables are available for 8-ball and other games as well.

Since photos are not allowed here, I guess you’ll be receiving a special behind the scenes look into Club G+ if you haven’t been. Starting from the outside, the music grabs your attention right off the bat even if you are merely walking by. The bass thumping of the hip-hop music is enough to make you wonder what’s happening inside.

So making our way in the first thing you’ll notice are the lit up walls which can alternate and flash through different colors. This is your means of navigation around the club because besides that, it stays pretty dark throughout.

Here’s a good photo illustrating my point. Taken from the inside seating looking out to the dance floor and DJ booth.

“Clap on”. A much better view of the action. There are also two additional levels for VIP seating, making the capacity pretty extensive. G+ isn’t as popular as Richy or the Muse clubs, but you’ll have no problem enjoy the atmosphere here.

I’ll drop by LKF ever so often usually by MTR. With this route, take the subway all the way to Central, exit D2, make a right, then left and you should be able to see D’Aguilar Street between the Armani and Coach stores.

Going up D’Aguilar, you’ll start to see crowds of people either eating and drinking, trying to buy food and drinks, or trying to get into exclusive clubs. Here I made it to the back corner looking over all the partygoers.

Looking to my right as D’Aguilar curves onward.

The actual Lan Kwai Fong street is shaped in a “L”. Its endpoints intersect D’Aguilar forming a box shape between the two. At the corner of Lan Kwai Fong pictured here.

At the top of the street where it hits D’Aguilar is where many visitors like to pose next to the Lan Kwai Fong sign. I didn’t include any pictures taken inside the bars or clubs. You can find the ones I took at Club Sugar to get a feel of the club environment here.
