We are at Phuket this weekend and we stayed at the Holiday Inn Patong. The hotel breakfast was fantastic! DH had a great time playing on the sofa. 

The dining tables were well spread out and very spacious!  

Not just the food was great abut also there is something specially for the children.

There are utensils that are meant for children! They looked very new too! Hello Kitty set for the girls and Doraemon for the boys!

It rained most of the time this trip, but none the less a lot of people braved the weather to make the best out of it on the beach front. 

The hotel grounds had some lovely lotus flower in all sorts of colours. 

Some of the flowers were not just colourful, the size was also huge! 

After breakfast, it was to the pool. The hotel had a very big kids pool, one of the biggest we had ever seen in a hotel. 

The water was colder than usual due to the rain but the children were not affected. We had a wonderful morning in the pool. 

In the afternoon, the rain was down to a drizzle. It was OK to go out in a tuk tuk for a ride to the butterfly farm. 

The tuk tuk ride was very unique. The open sides was a very good way to feel and see the surroundings during the journey. 

DH was particularly excited when he was in the tuk tuk.  

The journey to the butterfly farm took about 40mins due to the bad jam at patong. When we reached, it was about 4pm. 

Although it was already late afternoon, the butterflies were still very active. We were able to catch a glimps of these gentle creatures at very close range. 

The was even a very lovely corner for some photo opportunities. 

Naturally, all the items in the farm were related to butterflies. Even the windows were shaped like one. 

In the souvinior shop there were even more lovely decorations and furnitures. 

Since we did not have enough time for coffee or snack we just took more pictures.
