Siumima,
As Reginang mentioned. The weather reported it would be rainy but not all day wet. Actually just a few shower occurred only.
During monsoon season, the weather in Phuket is still fine w/ strong wind. And thus, recommend you to check the level of sea wave before booking any sea activities, especially bring w/ small kid, tick Thai Meteorological Department www.tmd.go.th/en/province.php?id=75 and don't trust the travel agent which just say: “OK! No wave, no problem…”

chingchingfa,
May I know if the sea wave warning is 1-2 metres is suitable for going to Egg Island? I found that the sea condition is always 1-2 metres except a few days with waves more than 2 metres.
小豬脾,
1-2 m sea wave is normal. This is slightly higher than Hong Kong to Macau journey. But recommend to eat sea sink medicine before the journey. If you take hi-speed boat, don’t sit in front. The better seats are behind the driver.
Heiheihoney,
I think you will take TG609, correct? Last time, the flight departed at 8am, and we took taxi and arrived in T2 at 6am. The flight is scheduled to land at HKT at around 11:20am. Try to take the lunch at the restaurant on 2/F, HKT airport. Cheap and
delicious. It managed by Thai Air Caterer.
Best regards,
chingchingfa

Mankifiona,
Check in close: 40 mins prior to the departure time.
Gate close: 20 mins prior to the departure time.
But you have to consider if the gate is far from the immigration counter. You have to take the train to the gate. I have an experience in Easter. The flight gate no was 69. We were in security checking and had 35 mins left from departure time. All the way we ran, and we arrived to the gate just in time. Hopefully the flight delayed...
Heiheihoney,
Same as you, we took TG609 direct to HKT last time. The returned way was indirect also, and we stayed a while in BKK. No surcharge on air ticket and tax. My wife and daughter liked shopping in BKK, it’s good itinerary for them! Of course, you have to consider the current safety in BKK.
TG flight is OK. We had a deep experience about TG. While we checked out from Four Seasons BKK, a staff reminded us a typhoon would attack to HKG and recommended us to cancel the trip but I had to work on the next day…While TG was on the way and closed to HKG, although the flight did not fly smoothly from on flight GPRS info, we did not feel any shaking. After landing HKG, we could see the weather was so bad w/ strong wind and heavy rain from the window. At that moment, the pilot announced: “HK weather is rainy w/ thunderstorm tonight, typhoon No.8 is hoisted, enjoy your trip…” Actually some arrival flights as CI, CX & KA were cancelled.
Best regards,
chingchingfa

Hi chingchingfa

would like to know any shopping mall or supermarket nearby Sheraton? Actually I don't want to stay in resort everyday. Or any shuttle provide by hotel to any shopping center. Where did you buy sovernier?
honeyheihei,
A small shopping centre w/ a restaurant named Canal Village Shopping is available. It’s expensive and nothing to buy. We did not visit there last time. Before entering Laguna area, there are some small restaurants and supermarkets. You could call your car driver to stop there for buying some drinks and snacks.
Free shuttle bus and jetty go around 6 hotels and Canal Village Shopping Centre. You could enjoy the spa in Banyan Tree, or have a romantic Thai style dinner in Rim Talay, Laguna Beach Resort. Sheraton has cost shuttle to / from Patong or Phuket Town, but recommend you to hire a car for island day tour and
visit these 2 tourist spots. Don’t miss meet- the-baby-elephants at 8:30am. The baby elephants Lucky and Lily will be station in front of Birds of Paradise, Sheraton where you take breakfast buffet. My kids and I loved and missed them very much. I am not sure if they are so big now. Send me an image if you have time to visit them. If you are villa guests, don’t miss to order prawn porridge in Puccini for your breakfast, excellent and delicious even I dislike porridge!
Some hawkers are in the beach area in front of Sheraton, you could buy something if you need. If you want to buy some snacks to HK, you could take a look in Robinson Department Store in Phuket Town.
One more, a restaurant named Lotus is closed to Laguna area, good seafood w/ reasonable cost. Take the dinner if you have time.
