early in the morning, we are waiting to board the speedboat to phiphi island... we are instructed by the tour guide to consume the sea sick pill that they provided... to prevent us from getting seasick while on the boat... the speedboat ride was a real scary one... i would not say that its a small boat as there were about 20 - 30 ppl on the boat... i later learnt that it was the monsoon season thus the trip will be a bumpy one... its true... 15mins later, i start to feel seasick... i got so afraid as the boat was bumping against the waves... the boat went up and down which i feel that its more than a metre of fluctuation... everytime when the waves hit the boat, i would feel that at one point in time, the boat and the sea does not come into contact... thus, it was like a roller coaster... i feel that i almost fainted... when we reach phiphi island's shore... i felt like i came back from hell...
they brought us to the beach, where we relax, learn how to snorkel so as to prepare us to snorkel later in the deeper sea... it is actually quite hard for me to master... as i had difficulty changing the way i breathe... i had to use my mouth to breathe instead of my nose... sumtimes i cant control, i will use my nose to breathe... however the mask covers up to the nose and it is airtight to prevent water from going it... then if i use my nose to exhale the air that i breathe in, i would introduce water into the mask... then i would feel like im drowning... and the seawater is so salty...



this is the speedboat that we took from phuket to phiphi island... the boat's name is called timmie... it is for us to recognise the boat when we are snorkelling... anyway, the boat throughout was a bumpy ride... on my way to khai island... i actually vomited... i used countless of plastics bags that the tour guide provided us... i think i expelled all the lunch that i ate at phi phi don island... btw, the lunch is also inclusive in the package...
this is the viking cave, the thai ppl actually have to climb on the silts inside to retrieve those swallow's nest to sell to restaurants... those bird's nest that you are consuming in thailand, comes from here... if you notice, the sea is super blue... the blue is so fake... but no matter what... i think its much better than singapore's sea/beach...
this is the Pi Leh Lagoon, where everyone snorkels here... it is about 4metres deep... from the pic, you can see some dark spots... those are actually corals... although u cant see from the pic... there are actually alot of fishes swimming around... the tour guide will provide bread for you to attract the fishes... all equipments for snorkelling are provided... however, you have to pay an extra THB100 to use their flippers...
this is the monkey beach... there are alot of monkeys on this beach... but i think its bad... becos it became a tourist attraction spot... i think all the monkeys have become reliant on what the human brought to feed them... those bananas that i have, are also provided by the tour guide... its for the tourist to feed the monkeys...
this is a pic of us at khai island, its windy there...

as you can see behind, there are shops... selling tidbits, drinks and tourist gifts... but are all expensive... so not so worth it.. u dun have to buy from them.. the tour guide will cut watermelon and pineapple for ur pleasure... its inclusive in the package already... and you dun have to buy drinks at the island... you can jus take it at the speedboat... free flow of pepsi and mineral water... also included in the package already...
at about 4pm thai time, we are back at phuket... when u are reaching the dock.. they will say that they hope you enjoy the trip... if u enjoyed, please give them some tips... not compulsory though... but they treated us very well and was patient to every request... thus, we did gave a little tip...
as its still early, we decided to watch the sunset at patong beach... while waiting... we actually saw sumone who was being saved by a lifeguard... the person will lying motionless and the lifeguard didnt seem to have given him any CPR... then came a pickup from another side at very high speed... it is their "ambulance"... the guy was later carried on to the pickup... while they are carrying him... he looked so motionless... in my heart, i prayed hard that he would survive... the red flag on the picture is the spot where the guy was lying motionless... we actually saw this flag on day1... it is to warn ppl not to swim as it is not safe... i wonder if the person fail to heed the warnings... when we came back to singapore... we saw "the new paper" saying that a singaporean actually drowned at phuket, patong beach... it was the same day that we saw the guy being pulled back from the sea by the lifeguard... not sure whether it is the same guy or not...
a picture of the sun"setting"...

its dinner time!!! along the road, a few restaurant sells seafood... the prawn that im holding is a super big size tiger prawn... but it doesnt taste as good as it seems... conclusion is not to eat it... we ordered it by BBQing it, with butter and garlic... phuket's seafood is also quite expensive...
i forgot what drink is that.. but its a cocktail... quite nice in taste and aesthetics...
i did a manicure at phuket, at a nite spot... called bangla road... it has a stretch of pubs which thai girls in uniforms, bikini, sexy wear, transexual,etc... and also tourist shops selling bikinis, local products, fake brandeds like sunglasses, watches... there is also a thai boxing stadium at the other end of the road... if u are lucky, on the day if there is a match, you can go n watch it... the manicure that i did cost me THB250 which is about SGD12...
this is the last day, while waiting for the gate to open... home sweet home...
