We got up super early, Zzz. BF don't even allow me to laze on bed! :(
2nd Day:Phi Phi Island + Snorkeling
The bus went around to fetch people after us, and finally got to to the 'ferry' terminal. We were introduced to a tour guide, and group members were given a sticker each to be pasted on our clothes. No. 39!
Flippers on rental for snorkeling (100baht per pair)
Took a speedboat instead of the normal Ferry to save time but man! We're out in the BIG ocean, in a small shaky speedboat with 20 others, strong on-coming waves, wind and splashing sea water. Brr... cold~~~
The speedboat slowed down in the middle of the ocean as passengers are moving about when sea water continued to splash in heavily. It tossed from left to right along with the strong waves and it was quite scary can.
Alright, at least it's scary to me as I do not know how to swim ma. There's this teenage girl who was too frightened, and broke into tears... Brr!

Our speedboat (No. 39)1st stop
(Maya Bay on Koh Phi Phi Ley)
We finally reached the 1st stop and there is this emergency situation. The 1st thing i did was to look for convenience store, and guess what... where to find convenience store on an island for sightseeing? Duh... Sigh! It was bad and did not spend much time enjoying the scenery on this Island, but looking back at the photos, wasn't it beautiful? It's like... I was there!!!
Nice
Look at my face... sickly!2nd stop
(Monkey Bay on Koh Phi Phi Don)
The humorous tour guide- "Bananas are for the monkeys, do not eat them"- "Do not touch the monkeys, they are wild and will bite you. If they bite you, please take care because you will ...... turn into a monkey in 3 days!
The crowd
The picky ones (tired of bananas)3rd stopWe hopped onto the speed boat after visiting the monkeys, and stop nearby for snorkeling . I gave it a miss as it was too deep for me and nope, not even with life jacket. I can't swim and can't control my direction which means, I might just drift away with the waves? Ha-ha... no no!
(Snorkeling)Vin tried of course, his 1st time!
Marine fishes
Viking Cave
(People collect Swift's nest - for bird nest soup in there)
4th stop
(Lunch)Lunch with the group and yeah, I saw shops around! Chatted with the tour guide and found out some information on the 'standard' rates for shopping items. Bad... As they always quote high prices for any purchase :(
No more photos for the day... camera went on hunger strike!Final stop
(Koh Khai Nai - I think?)Grabbed a life jacket, put on the flippers and there we go... Snorkeling by the beach. I wanna walk into the sea and ouch, it was painful! The stones, shells and everything were big and sharp, with lots of 'pebbles' that you might just step and slip. All I want was to rinse my flippers albeit...
Luckily Bf is there to be my navigator... like I mentioned, I can't swim and not to mention knowing how to control my direction out in the sea. We swam around nearby and ouch ouch ouch... knocked onto the corals many times, didn't know they were so hard! The fishes were more friendly, they do not bite and just swim around you.
There were photographers taking photos during the journey and of course, they took ours, printed out and put it in a nice photoframe with seashells. We spotted ours along with many others easily as we are the only Asian, and our photo was displayed as sample. Bought 1 out of 2 pc, as we didn't have camera halfway through and perhaps, something memorable to keep. Wanted to get both, but kinda expensive so... nah!
Yeah... completed all stations and had fun, it was nice, of course kudos to my beloved, he has done the research for this trip diligently!
We were too tired and missed out the night happening yesterday, headed to the streets once we wash up, and not forgetting, to charge the camera!
Dinner:
Tom Yam Soup, Beef Hor Fun & Chicken Fried Rice
Henna tattoo
BarsThat's all, searched around, went for a body massage and bedtime! Yawn~
The heart's cold, it's just another beautiful mistake. 12:40 PM
