Glad that the chaos happened only after we were back from Phuket.
On the last day in Phuket, we suppose to have a relax breakfast time in the hotel restaurant, but the kids insisted to go to the beach. We thought since it was the last day, so we sacrifice our breakfast and went to beach, just to play sand and enjoy the sea breeze.
But …. I was wrong, again. Both of them just so love the wave, and keep wanted to go near to the water!! Ends up both of their pants are wet.
The total hotel charges are THB 1438 where THB 250 is for one hour use of internet!!!!
The AA check-in counter at Phuket airport was so slow, slow until I feel like missing the business class so much!!! We have our brunch at Burger King after I grabbed some bags from NaRaYa.
The flight took off on time and very lucky that KX fall asleep during the take off. I must say that the journey home is pretty smooth!! 
Overall, it is a great breakaway holiday for the kids. Shame to say, it is their first time playing sand, I am happy that they are not afraid of the sand. Maybe we will back to Phuket by next year if I renew my membership.

On the second day, we spend the morning at beach. At first, I thought to bring them to play sand at the beach, but they seem more interested on the water, especially KX. They are not afraid of the wave; instead they are so excited to welcome the wave to hit them.

After showering in the hotel, we then made a trip to Patong Beach by the famous tuk tuk (THB 350, quite pricey, but I guess maybe is because they saw us come out from Hilton). Anyway, it was a great experience for both the kids.
There is a huge shopping mall in Patong Beach, with lots of shop, Carrefour and Robbinson. I remember about 4 years ago, there is only one lauyah Ocean in Patong Beach. We spent some of the cash almost half the day in the mall and walked around Patong Beach.
Changed the kids to their swimsuit after back to the hotel at about 6pm. The hotel staffs were so helpful to bring our float to inflate at somewhere outside the hotel. How nice!
Again, both the kids were extremely excited dipping in the pool. When we are about to leave the pool, KW pointed to the beach and tells me she want to continue the fun at the beach! The pool is facing to the beach.
We settled the kid’s dinner at the Sails restaurant and our’ at the Thai Thai restaurant for thai cuisine.
looks more like ‘drown’ than swimming

We took the earliest flight to Phuket on 24 August and reach Phuket pretty early, at around 7.52am. Phuket time zone is one hour later. We headed to the hotel by airport taxi, it cost THB 650.
It took us about an hour to reach the hotel. We took the tram from Hilton welcome center to the lobby and proceed with check-in procedure. Was great with 4 welcome drinks and 4 refreshment towels.
Exactly like the comment in TripAdvisor, the staffs there are all friendly and helpful. They even help to entertain and baby-sit KX when we are having our meal in the restaurant. We didn’t go anywhere on the first day as both of us were too knackered. Imagine, we all woke up early morning at 4.30am!!! Lunch and dinner was settled in the hotel too, not really very expensive as we entitles for the 50% discount with the Premium Club membership card.

We have a short 3D2N holiday to Phuket on last Sunday. I book the flight ticket from AA when they are having the promotion of flying Phuket with RM3. It cost me RM1167 for the total air fare which inclusive of a checked baggage (RM6 for one checked baggage).
As for hotel, I redeem my complimentary free stay from Hilton Premium Club. We stayed at Hilton Phuket Arcadia Resort & Spa and pay THB 594 per night to upgrade the room from garden view to sea view. So, it cost us about RM118.80 only for 2 nights at Hilton Phuket Arcadia Resort & Spa.
