Benning Goes to Thailand

-



I would like to tell y’all regarding my experience in Phuket Thailand. Long story short, I and some of my friends were elected to become a presenter in Asia Forum Business on Education 2018. It such privilege for us to learn and travel which is I personally always love to do that. Our trip was sponsored by Sampoerna University and KJSB after we proposed a proposal. My term paper is all about the homestay platform application that only focuses on Indonesia. By empowering the role of local community in order to support the local economy. Gratefully, I have learned about entrepreneurship, therefore we can elaborate more on Business Model Canvas, value chain, and another business tools whatsoever. Then, I believe that knowledge is one of indicator that helps passed the test.
 Well, our journey began on 13th January me, Yuni, and Ari go from Bali then we transit in KL for about 8 hours. We cannot go anywhere since our transit time less than 9 hours. We have no option then we spent our night there. The weather is kinda cold that beneath our body. Long story short, I arrived at Phuket international airport Thailand. Well, as I touchdown in the Phuket, the surface of the airport is slightly different from KL or even Bali. Well, a bit strange compared to both airports. It seems traditional and conservative. I have read some article before, that state Phuket is nominated as 4th the most visited island in Asia. Don’t get me wrong, to be honest, I put a high expectation with that place. Then, (Drumroll) it so far more different, it is really awkward it still traditional.
Then, we finally meet kak Tasya, Kak Lora, and Kak Dhea at Phuket.  Then, we go differently since we book difference hotel. After, we finish with immigration and our own baggage. We go to hotel by the airport bus from hotel to Phuket Town it cost 30 Baht/ Pax. It takes around 1 hour 30 minutes to reach our hostel. Along the way, I feel so excited and keep watching to the road. Well, the view cannot blink my eyes. This is so unbelievable, then I tried to wake my self and realize that the reality is so different with the expectation. I can say it’s quite same with gerokgak in the north Bali, the weather is VERY HOT bruh. Then, we stopped at the Bus Stop, then we need to walk around 1 KM to reach our hostel. Since we do not buy the SIM Card then we cannot identify the hostel location by GPS. Then, we asked people around that area. Generally, they do not really know English very well, but they really help and show us the location of our hostel.
After we already take a rest and prepare our presentation, we have a plan to go somewhere. Then, we decided to go to the weekend market. The weekend market held every weekend we only need to take a walk around 15 minutes to arrive at the weekend market. I took some pictures there, and we taste some foods (Some are good) and some do not fit tongue as an Indonesian (Sorry not sorry). Everything is so brand new, the smell, the taste, the language, and stuff. One thing that I will never forget about Phuket weekend market is the smell that I cannot even describe by words. Here are some pictures that I took, I also took several videos. I will edit it soon at upload it on  YouTube.
                  





In the weekend market, we found a lot of foods and most of them are Thai’s food. Besides that, they also sold a lot of merchandise and souvenirs. Surprisingly, some of the souvenirs that they sold are quite same with the souvenirs that the Balinese sold in Gianyar, Bali. The difference is only the word of Thailand or Phuket. It can be seen from the cloth, bag, and necklet. Uniquely, they also show some tourist attraction such as Thai’s traditional dance and game. Here are several photos that we took in the Phuket weekend market.
