Day 3 - Phi Phi Island Speed boat trip

It is the third day, Phi Phi Island trip !!!...compare to few day before it, today weather is so much better...

Everyone smiling face to welcome the nice weather...

Group photo while waiting at the travel centre there...

a tour guide that insist to take pic with gals with guys in front...ehem...pei fu for his thick skinness...

We suddenly feel that we are so rich in the speed boat after yesterday adventurous long tail boat experience...haha....

this is the first beach we went for the phi phi island, bamboo island...the colour tone of the sea here is vvv nice as seen in this picture...just we just spend a while here as today is not private trip anymore...

After that we start to snorkelling at few spot around phi phi island...




the water there is so clear...just most of the coral there is not as colourful as we imagine...can said is mostly dead aredi...but there is lots of fish there la ( like ikan belis as yan ming boss describe...haha..)


Some nice scene picture around the snorkelling spot...=)

Monkeys at the Monkey bay there...just know that monkey also know how to swim...

Photo with the Monkey bay there...


After that, we had our lunch at Phi Phi Don Island there.The lunch is buffet style, really satisfied with it.After that, we walked around the Island and thats some nice scene there...=)



Some nice scene beside the beach

left my master piece before leaving the Island...even the wave tak sampai hati to destroy it...haha...=)

It's dinner time !!...After comparing the price and environment of the seafood restaurant around there, we found out that the price and the interior design there also almost the same. Again, here come our boss Yan Ming decided to choose this restaurant, Bamboo Restaurant, just because a simple reason...their rich is cheaper, 19 baht compared to 30 baht beside the store...

A group picture with the nice environment there...

Seriously the dishes there really very fresh and cheap...and before  we left, the restaurant also crowded with ppl aredi...I think the 30 baht restauarant beside will be very regretted coz his shop is almost empty...haha...in this tourist spot, most of the ppl will just go inside the shop just because the shop gt more ppl, and we gt 8 ppl there....may be if they agree to give us discount at the rice, the result may be not the same...
This is the coffee shop that Joe strongly recommended, Black Canyon cafe...the coffee there is gt the Starbuck quality but far more cheaper...a very nice hang out place with friends...

It's mark the end of our third day trip...ya, we also have bought our trip T-shirt before going back to hotel...haha... Perhaps this is a must for group travelling?...XD

To be continue
Our last trip package, Emerald Pool, Hot Spring, Tiger Cave Temple...=)

Day 2 - Adventurous 4 island long tail boat trip

Wake up early around 7 am in the second day...with full of hope of going to Phi Phi island trip...However, a rainy day has messed up our plan. Luckily, after our boss Yan Ming negotiate with the people in charged, we still managed to change it to our private 4 island trip and postpone the Phi Phi island trip to the next day...Phew....

Girls outfit for that day..Lyn Maye seem like so confident with her outfit...haha

Group photo in front of the hotel before departing...=)

Our first tuk tuk trip in Krabi. The tuk tuk is full of colourful sticker and we met 2 friends from Bangkok also.After chit chat with them, I feel like my "simple" English is very suitable to communicate with the local Thai style English...haha..also dun noe i should happy with it ont...

this is the scene taken from the tuk tuk and also quite a number of long tail boat parking in a line along the beach...haha...at first we choose long tail boat is because it's cheap and feel the local traditional side of Krabi...haha...but things always go not as those we expect...

Our group photo with the long tail boat

See, we are still so happy take photo with the long tail boat...haha...we still dun know that an adventurous trip was awaiting for us...

Actually at first we also wonder what is the difference between long tail boat and speed boat for the 4 island trip, because the price for the long tail boat is 50% cheaper than speed boat leh 387.5 baht vs 700 baht leh...and the long tail boat is private trip somemore, that's mean we can control our trip without following others...at that time we totally din have any reason not to choose long tail boat as the people said it just a bit slower than the speed boat....but I think I know why it's so cheap aredi...here is the reason : 

1. If u are fans of Pirates of Caribbean, then long tail boat is definitely is your first choice. You will definitely can feel some seasick even you don't have this problem before as the boat is a little bit noisy and bumpy. Even our boat captain nick name is Jack Sparrow...Perhaps this is the hint given  before we departed...haha
 2. If you feel like your life is too bored and want to find some motive for your life, then you should go for long tail boat too..Sometimes you even wonder whether you can reach the destination ont when you saw the wave which is higher than your boat...==
3. If  you want to have more time on the sea instead of beach, then long tail boat can fulfil your wish too since it need to travel according to the sea wave  Sometimes when you see the destination is just in front of you but it just need to turn a big round just to suit the sea wave...==

a) Chicken Island

This is the first island we went for the 4 island trip.
That's the chicky head that give it the name.

Some photo with the chicken head...haha...=)

After that, we have our lunch time at the chicken island there. Out of our expection, the sea food fried rice there is really not bad leh...but you just need to pay 50 baht by the time you step on this island ( first time know that island also gt toll one...== !! ) the rice itself cost 100baht...

Group photo at the other side of chicken island

Some solo pic for me, bag holder Joe and Wann chiing

The Thai guy beside Joe is the Thai Jack Sparrow...He really save our life during the long tail boat trip....Because of his sunny smile and superb driving skill, we decided to give him 100 baht as tips...=)

b) Poda Island 

That's the landmark for the poda island

3. Pranang Cave

This is a very nice and natural cave the situated beside the beach. 

We noticed that quite a number of tourist have rock climbing here too.





Some group photo in the cave there with still a nice weather...=)

The weather of Krabi is really unpredictable. Suddenly thunderstorm is arrived. The gals still gt quite many clothes to cover their body...look at the guys outfit....so this is the outcome...T.T

Natural shower bath plus the cooling seawind is really an awesome combo, somemore it don't have switch off button somemore. With this outfit, we wait there for almost half an hour to wait for the rain to stop...actually this type of unexpected things also make our trip more memorable...haha

4. Railay beach
Panoramic view we take at Railay beach there...the best beach among the four
the sand there is so soft and the view is so nice...

ehem...this type got a bit...if next times need guy to take this type of photo, I'm always available, FOC somemore...haha...XD

Another group photo there...

Left our footprint there and marks the end of our 4 island trip....
 Awesome and and highly recommended trip for those who went Krabi...
Really have a good memory there...=)

That's the tired face when we reach hotel...
everyone is so eager to have a hot water bath after the "natural" shower bath....
After that, we are heading to our next destination..
KRABI NIGHT MARKET

We take the tuk tuk to go Krabi night market with only 960 baht for 2 way...

However, when we reach there, is raining cats and dogs again...haiz...
Luckily the rain is not last for so long...=)
