Day 3
Woohoo. Woke up on day 3 early for breakfast at hotel itself.

Having breakfast by the pool. So relaxing.

An english breakfast.
After breakfast, we head to the same tour agency(Art of Canoeing) for our island hopping tour. This tour cost 1000 baht per person. I think it’s super cheap. 6 Island including lunch.
Took a tuk tuk to the shore and then on a speed boat and off to 6 islands.
1. Bamboo Island
2. Viking Cave
3. Maya Beach
4. Phi Phi Don
5. Phi Phi Lay
6. Railey Beach
All of the beaches are really pretty with blue green shores. However the snorkeling activity is not that fun as the fishes i saw were pretty limited if compared to Redang. Besides that, the waves are quite big, so it’s hard to swim.
The best part is the speed boat rides. We were camping on the front seat and had to really hold on tight to the railing so that we wont fall off to the sea. And this speedboat is really SPEED boat as it’s super fast. The whole journey is like seating on a roller coaster with occasional ups and down and screaming “woooo”. Really fun and enjoyed as i get to see the horizon, the mountains all over the island and also enjoy the super breeze wind that made me tanned. haha
Pictures of us in random order.

Group pic without rames and with this austria guy(i forgot his name) who came traveling by himself. He sits in front with us and kept laughing at our personal jokes and also we chatted a little. A really nice outgoing guy.

Cherrie

The korean girl we got to know on the boat. She’s really really really CUTE ok. And she’s traveling alone as well. Kinda admire her bravery as she doesn’t know how to speak English and Thai but she manage to go traveling and all. Kinda hard to communicate with her but she’s really friendly and cute!

The austria guy posing. lol. On the far right is Wade. Came all the way from California but residing in Shanghai now. An american born chinese. He came with his group of college mates who are equally as crazy as us. ahhaa.

Me and the handsome boat driver. hehe.

He’s a great cameraman too! He took this pic of me and many other pictures which i think is quite nice.

Wade’s Tattoo. I forgot what it meant. Something something sacrifice.

Woohoo. I love islands! beaches! Ocean! woo!!!

The good looking boat driver and a POSER! haha
He told me a few stories including the Tsunami story which i felt really remorse and sad after. According to him, Phi Phi lay was hit with Tsunami and the night before, the people there were partying, drinking, having fun and some were sleeping. When everyone’s sleeping at 3 am, Tsunami hit and washed off the island. All the coconut trees were down (pics later) and he got a call from a friend saying that the island hit Tsunami and many died. when i heard the story, i felt so sad. i just cant express the feeling as listening it from him, i can tell that it’s quite sad, knowing maybe some of his friends actually died due to natural disaster. sad lo.
And he’s quite a funny guy as well. Since we’re all seated in front of the boat, every few minutes we will give a loud wooo due to the bumpy ride but if the journey is really long, the excitement will die but he will keep it up by screaming “Front seat are you all OK?”
and then we’ll scream “OOOKKAAAYY!!!” haha. Seriously the ride was really fun. :)

Love his skin colour as well. Apparently he’s been working for 5 years already.

Jack the ANTM

A pretty sight to behold

after all the island trip which was extremely fun, we head back to Ao Nang Beach to clean up and prepare for dinner.
Dinner last day at Wang Sai Seafood Restaurant again as it’s realllly good. Brandon bought Kuo Ming Tang (Lantern Kong Ming) and we released it after dinner.

Our wishes
after a little more shopping, we head back to hotel and rest.
Me and cherrie went to Sunset Massage to get our hair braided for 30baht per strand.
