Phuket Holiday - Day 3 March 11, 2011

Today we woke up in the morning, ready to go to Phi Phi Island. As usual, is like a ritual before and after going out we always stop by at Seven Eleven.

We picked up at seven o'clock and after picked up one couple, we go directly to Rassada Harbour. When we're getting to the boat, they take a picture of us, don't forget to collect after the trip if you want to have a souvenir, "your framed picture".

 It takes around two hours to Phi Phi Island to be precise to Phi Phi Don. The boat drop some passengers who do not go for snorkeling in Maya Bay where " The Beach" have been filmed with co-star Leonardo DiCaprio.

Then we go to Maya Bay to diving. The water was very clear. Unfortunately, because of  tsunami at 2004 the fish only left in one species. They gave us 30 minutes to swim and snorkeling.

From Maya Bay, we go to Monkey Beach
At monkey beach we go for kayaking. All participant has a partner, except me. So i have to do kayak by myself, it's so fun. Just as I expected.

 We do kayaking from the boat to Monkey Beach. They just gave us 15 minutes to take a picture and back again to the boat.

Then it is time for lunch. We go to Phi Phi Don. It is the center of Phi Phi Island. There is a hotel, restaurant, shop. I buy some dress and bikini there, afraid that I won't find in Phuket. Actually, the price higher than Phuket, so better you buy in town.

Finally we have to go back to our hotel. It was fun adventure. We have to take a rest before going to Patong Beach at night.

A nightlife at Patong Beach. If you are looking and like a nightlife you better stay at Patong. The city it so alive at night. Since the bus only served until 6 pm, then we took Tuk-tuk (the big one, not small one). We charged BHT400 one way, he suggest to us to go back by taxi.

Our first destination at Patong, Hard Rock Cafe. We have to buy the t-shirt, for our collection. After that we go for dinner. Food more expensive compare to Phuket Town.

Then, it is time to go back to Phuket Town, prepare for tomorrow, trip to James Bond Island.
