Phuket- 3 in 1 trip

Nescafe have 3 in 1, and one of the travel package of my Phuket Trip also 3 in 1. The 3 in 1 package is the cruise tour to 3 famous beach sites in Phuket which included Khai Nok Island, Monkey Beach and Phi Phi Island.

Itinerary of the day:
- From hotel to Rassada Harbor and depart to Khai Nok Island.
- Swim and relax on the beach of Khai Nok Island for 1 hour.
- Depart to Monkey Beach while lunch on board.
- Sightseeing around Phi Phi Lay Island, Ao Loh Samah, Ao Bi Leh and Viking Cave
- Swim and snorkelling at Monkey Beach. Fyi, the tour will be going to Maya Bay during high season(between November and April) instead of Monkey Beach(Low season: May to October).
- Arrive at Phi Phi Don Island and stay on island for 1 hour.
- Depart from Phi Phi Don Island back to Phuket.

Fyi, during high season which is between November and April, the tour will be going to Maya Bay instead of Monkey Beach. (Low season: May to October).

We sat at the ground floor of the cruise.
All the white men and ladies enjoyed sunbathing at the deck which is IMPOSSIBLE for the Asian to do so!Water traces leave by the cruise…
Bruum Bruum…Leaving to Khai Nok Island m33iyin on the cruise. Teehee!

FIRST STATION: KHAI NOK ISLAND

It took only 15 minutes to reach this island from the harbor to reach Khai Nok Island.. I like the island because of the white sandy beach and crystal clear water~

Due to editing, pictures above showing 2 kinds of sea colour. Well, the sea is looks like the one shown in the second pix.
Nice island right??There is no pier on Khai Island so we need to take this kind of boat to go there. If my photographer went to Phuket with me, I think I will have lotsa nice shoots at here. Everything is so peaceful here, except the burning sun. Due to the hot burning sun, I am the only person who went snorkelling in the beach and took those SS pic while the rest sitting under the shade. So lame right?(well, i means them!!) I like the jump shots, do you?Jump on the beach is not an easy task because of the super soft texture of the sand. But, thanks to my sister, if not i wont be able to have such magnificent jump shots. Haha! Oh ya, that was my first snorkelling experience. Wuwu, so pathetic huh~

SECOND STATION: SIGHTSEEING

While we were having lunch on the cruise, the cruise slowly departed to Phi Phi Island. Phi Phi Island is 1 hour plus away from Khai Island, it is located in Krabi province. Due to its location, those who visit Phuket and Krabi, definitely will go to Phi Phi Island. Thus, my recommendation will be, book air ticket to Phuket and stay 5D4N there, 1 day in Phang Nga Bay, 1 day take this 3 in 1 trip, 1 day to Krabi…haha…well, this is just my opinion ya, don’t blame me if you plan so and ends up not fun at all. Kaka~~

Somewhere in Phi Phi Lay IslandViking Cave, which got its name from the Viking ship cave drawings on the wall. The cave is not open to visit but the locals go there to collect swift bird nests.The beach at the far end of this picture is the Maya Bay. If Phang Nga Bay famous because of the James Bond Island, then thanks to the movie “The Beach”(main actor: Leornardo deCaprio), Maya Bay become a tourist spot. Since we visited Phuket during low season, we missed the chance to visit the beach. Me sitting on the deck~

THIRD STATION: MONKEY BEACH

Finally we reached Monkey Beach. However, I din take the boat ride to Monkey Beach because I want to spend more time in sea snorkelling. The cruise stopped at a spot around 200 meter from the shore and we are allow to snorkel around the cruise.

The place where the speedboat stop is the Monkey Beach.The tourists that snorkelling in the sea. Yeah!!I like sea snorkelling. But hor, my sis said the corals in the sea are not pretty and varies and she think that the undersea world in Perhentian Island is nicer lo~ From google, I found that the Andaman Sea(Phi Phi islands are located on this sea) was devastated by Tsunami and the corals are in recovering stage that why the corals we seen may not be as nice as before the hit.

FINAL DESTINATION(sound horror): PHI PHI DON ISLAND

I has nothing much to say about Phi Phi Don Island because I only saw stalls selling souvenirs, foods and drinks. The beach is nothing for me since I did not spent much time on there. These are the 2 only pictures I took on the island.

Ok la. This is the final post of my Phuket trip.
Hope you enjoy reading browsing the nice sea scenes I took.
Have a nice day!!

Phuket- Phang Nga Bay National Park

On the Day 2 of Phuket trip, we visited Phang Nga Bay National Park which we had signed up the package day before.

Basically, the itinerary of trip was:
Departed from hotel ->Suwankuha Temple(Monkey Cave) ->Koh Pan Yee for lunch->James Bond Island-> Tam Talu Islan ->Back to hotel

The minibus came to our hotel at 10am(very punctual) then we off to Phang Nga Province which is about 2 hours(yeah, 120 minutes~can watch a movie liao lo) from Patong Beach. According to the tour guide, Phang Nga province is not located on Phuket Island but on the mainland of Thailand.

Our first station was Suwankuha Temple which also known as Monkey Cave since there is a lots of monkey~ (Why Batu Cave is Batu Cave even though we can find lotsa monkey there??) Monkey in those tourist area are not friendly, they will sit around the tourist who is holding banana and snatch it wildly.

The elegant lady in red dress bought banana and 1,2,3,4,5 monkey started to sit around herThanks to the bananasssssss this monkey is in ape size Monkey mama taking care of monkey zaizai~

The temple is located within the cave. There is a reclining Buddha inside the temple. I missed the chance to visit the Reclining Buddha temple in Bangkok but I able to visit Reclining Buddha in Phuket.

My sis, me and my mum~

Buddha statues in the temple.

After spending 30 minutes at the temple, we off to Phang Nga Bay National Park which is 10 minutes from the temple.

Long tail boat which found in Phang Nga Bay National ParkSitting on the long tail boat with the idk lake or sea water splashing on me sometime~ After around 30 minutes ride, we reached Koh Pan Yee which is the most famous Muslim fisherman village in the national park. Even though it is a fisherman village, but I think Koh PanYee is now doing the tourists’ business~Because it now serve as the lunch stop when the tourists come over to visit the national park.

Lunch at Koh Pan Yee. 6 of us sharing all these.
We requested to add more tomyam soup, but the waitresses just said: OK and never came back!
~Sigh~

The stalls that sell souvenirs
Some scenery shots I took in Koh Pan Yee.
Looks like a fisherman village~

After taking our lunch at Koh Pan Yee, we then went to James Bond Island which become famous after appearing in the 1974 James Bond movie “The Man with the Golden Gun”. I would say James Bond Island is the attraction that I can’t wait to go before my Phuket Trip. But once I was there, I felt nothing special lo.. I just like other tourists snap snap snap the famous limestone rock and that’s all. Lame huh~?

The famous limestone rock which is standing alone at the center of sea for the past centuries until James Bond came on year 1974.Limestone rock is no longer a lonely rock when more and more tourists coming in
And took a bunch of picture with it.

See, it was floating on our palms.

Another attraction on the island.
The flat limestone cliff tumbled sideways and leaned on a similar rock in the center of the island.

After spending half an hour at James Bond Island, we departed to Tam Talu Island which is a nice place to do sea canoeing. I would say, sea canoeing is the best activity of the day. (No reason, I just like it)

Enjoyed the sea canoeing session.
(Sorry for polluting your vision with my elephant size legs)

Inside of one of the caves Some of the cave entrances(!!?? idk wat tat call, sowie)are narrow so we need to lie back in order to protect our heads. SPOTTED!
angmoh that brought ipad along to snap pictures and perhaps to Facebook/Twitter.SPOTTED!
The stone that I circle look like a horse’ head.

So, 1 hour ended very fast. It cames to an end for our Phang Nga Bay National Park trip. Well, is it fun? I would said I enjoy the sea canoeing and at least I did one of the MUST DO for tourists that go to Phuket which is took picture with the limestone rock in James Bond Island. Kaka~

To those who going to visit Phang Nga Bay, don’t forget to grab a cup of coconut milk ice cream at the pier oh!Love the topping which are the milo, dried grapes and “atap ji”(idk wat is this in english, anyone can help??)

That’s all for today.

Next post will be the Khai Island, Monkey Beach and Phi Phi Island tour.
Stay tuned!!!
♥♥♥m33iyin will her refreshing coconut ice cream.

Phuket- APK Resort&Spa and some random shots

I just traveled to Phuket last week. Phuket is the island of sea and sun. It is also an island which meant for tourists esp those angmohs~ That’s why everything there are not cheap~ I miss Bangkok muchie and love ChiangMai too~

During the 4D3N trip to Phuket, one of the thing that cheer up days is the hotel that we accommodate at. Fyi, we stayed in APK Resort&Spa aka APK Resort 3. The room gave me a big wow with the price we paid. We book the room through Agoda and we choose the standard economy package which the price was RM51/room(exclusive the tax and breakfast). So worth it when I saw the room~

The bad thing(which is not so bad la) that I would like to comment is no free wifi in the room, but it is available at the public area(aka the lobby). But the line speed is super FAST!! (Streamyx de line lousy giler~). Oh ya, i dislike one of the receptionist at the front desk lo, her face so so busuk like i hutang her how many K, but the rest are friendly~

Without delay, i would like to invite my pixxies to tell u d stories~

The hotel which is just located by the roadside(Kathu road)
5 minutes walk to Jungceylon and 10 minutes walk to Patong Beach.We were welcomed with tropical fruit juice.
Super sweet de lo~
I thought I was drinking sugar juice instead of fruit juiceThe rooftop swimming pool
So nice when you swim with your love one during the sunset
Aaaawwww…
