Everyone woke up late on Day 3 after the day out at sea, and we skipped breakfast and
walked down to the Kata beach area for lunch. We girls did some browsing at the stalls by the road and wound up with the same bikini in four different colours!

We took a couple of hours to go through all the shops that were of interest to us, then
we had tea at a cute little cafe before hiking back up to our apartments.
After a short rest, we left for an afternoon of pure indulgence! Sukko Spa brands itself
as a cultural destination spa. When i visited it in 2007, i had a great time, so we booked
a variety of packages this time.
However, the experience this time felt rather lacking in terms of service. The staff seemed
more concerned with making sure that we kept to our allocated timeslots for each of the
treatments instead of ensuring that we were comfortable and having a good time. I don't think i will visit them again if i return to Phuket, because for the prices, we would probably get something better elsewhere in the city.
I did manage to get some good shots of the serene environment the spa was set in.
Here, you see the grand entrance of the spa...
Some accents in the pre-treatment waiting room where we made our payment...
I love the polished teak furniture they had...
And the gorgeous multi-tiered pool!
My cousins had their nails done as part of their packages, very pretty! The nail-art was
probably the best part of the treatment...
No pictures of the treatment rooms because cameras are banned in there, for obvious reasons! All in all, the time there was relaxing, but not amazing. We ended the day with
a visit to Central Festival Mall, where we had cheap but delicious ramen and sushi for
dinner!
