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).

All the white men and ladies enjoyed sunbathing at the deck which is IMPOSSIBLE for the Asian to do so!DSCF6038_副本Water traces leave by the cruise…
Bruum Bruum…Leaving to Khai Nok Island DSCF6042_副本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~

DSCF6046_副本DSCF6047_副本 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??DSCF6048_副本There is no pier on Khai Island so we need to take this kind of boat to go there.DSCF6056_副本 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. DSCF6067_副本DSCF6077_副本DSCF6065_副本3_副本DSCF6080_副本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~~

DSCF6119_副本Somewhere in Phi Phi Lay IslandDSCF6130Viking 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.DSCF6088_副本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. DSCF6113_副本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.

DSCF6143_副本The place where the speedboat stop is the Monkey Beach.DSCF6147_副本The tourists that snorkelling in the sea. DSCF6165_副本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

DSCF6170_副本 DSCF6171_副本 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!!

XOXO
