What I did in Phuket

What have I done in Phuket? Let's see... I went on a cruise ship to Phi Phi Island






And the deck is full of tourists who can't get enough of the glorious sun...






This is the closest I can get to Maya Bay...sigh cruise ship is too big to dock there...






Unlike smaller speed boat, can go up close to practically any beach they want.






It would definitely helps too if you owns a private yacht... Then you can dock anywhere, anytime you want ^^





We passed by beautiful Viking Cave...the water there is so smooth so clear that you'll wish you could dip into it...





Souvenir that we getbuy at the cruise ship






The scenery at Phi Phi Island is totally breathtaking. It was absolutely enthralling with the clear blue sky and clear greenish-blue water.








Hmm.. what do you think they were doing? Scooping up wet sand?;p






Tadaa!!!! they were actually hunting some sea creatures that lived in wet sand...Kinda like crab, but it is not. Actually, they saw the locals bending down and scooping up sand once the tide rushes back to the sea. So they were extremely intrigued by it hence they tried it themselves.

Hands on experience is very important don't you think?

I watched beautiful sunset by the beach..





Followed by dinner at Sabai-Sabai, near the Patong Beach there...

It boast the best Thai dish where all locals knew. The signboard create a feeling that this shop is like a well-kept secret amongst the locals and regular tourists. THE price was good though, not cutthroat like some other restaurants and the food tasted delicious as well. A good recommendation for tourists on a budget or those who do not wish to be charge an arm and a leg for a meal.



SOMEHOW, soft drinks in Phuket just have to be bottle served. And I mean, everywhere. The brand that always appear on the menu would be, FANTA!






After dinner, the boys prowled around the infamous Soi Bangla (Bangla Road) where it is famous for its nightlife activitites.





And they found this! Pork hamburger. Haha it was called Samurai Burger or something. The thing is, we don't always encountered pork anything that sell so blatantly in Malaysia, so we were....erm not used to it? haha anyway, it tasted delicious though^^

The next day, I also went on a long boat trip to... *drum roll*






JAMES BOND ISLAND!!!





This is our first stop, at the Canoe ship...





And I go canoeing. woohoo!






We went through many low rock formation, kinda like a water cave entrance like that haha..pretty fun and exhilarating.






And finally, we reached our designation destination, James Bond Island! Tadaa~~~




Ok, it wasn't much of an island actually, it was just the special rock formation that were made famous by a certain James Bond movie.


Yeah, you guessed it right. I did not watch that movie, hence I have no idea about how "special" the rock was. However, the place was indeed beautiful and a good tourists attraction spot, eversince James Bond went there long long time ago^^








I also went to the Island Safari, where I saw clever elephants do stunts. They are a clever lot, and a hungry lot too. They never have enough of food.

acrobatic elephant

Oh, and they are also good at smooching ppl ^^

Ever seen a Slam Dunk Monkey? I have!





And an elephant ride follows after that...





Dinner's at S&G Restaurant, which is just opposite Sabai-Sabai.






This is what we had for our dinner. The food was excellent!!! In term of price, it was good as well. Good food for a good price? A bargain, I would say.







A drink at Starbucks?

Optional^^
