Krabi: Phi Phi Island Tour

Good morning Krabi! What wonderful sunny morning (but actually we were scared cause it’s monsoon season). Hehe. During check-in into the hotel, we took up Phi Phi Island package based on recommendation saying that it was the most popular package.

On the other hand, we were actually glad that it is monsoon season cause the prices were cheaper. Everything was included and the itinerary listed as below. 1000Baht per person~ (The next day, while walking along Aonang town, the offered 850Baht per pax for Phi Phi Island.).

For the first few minutes, so damn excited. Half an hour later, felt numb…lol

 

First stop to pick up more people from Centara resort and Railay beach

 

The website if you want to check it out

 

Free flow of soft drinks and mineral water as well as fruits

 

Messy hair

 

Tired little boy…

 

First stop: Bamboo Island

 

 

Be very careful….ouch! ouch!

 

We stopped about 40 minutes in Bamboo Island. Just chilling and relaxing

 

 

We weren’t ready to get wet yet… :P

 

One of our groupie….so cute

 

 

He was busy “chasing and avoiding” waves…haha

 

Viking cave where bird nests were found. Passed by…did not stop and the water was really THIS blue. So surreal…

 

 

Help! Help! Hope they’re ok..

 

 

Maya Beach (“The Beach” was filmed here)

 

The sea was a bit rough…

 

Civilized way of sunbathing

 

Buried his feet in the sand game…

 

Very cute and active couple

 

They were busy posing and taking picture, suddenly hit by waves..they enjoyed it!

 

Father and son

 

Little Emily

 

Stop for buffet lunch on Phi Phi Island. Limited variety and taste wise  so-so but good enough to fill our hungry stomach..

 

Rice, green vege, fish, chicken, spaghetti and tom yum soup

 

Chilling under the trees…windy and so relaxing…almost fell asleep but have to be awake in case our boat left..

 

Another groupie…

 

Oh ya…forgot to mention. 40Baht per chair

 

Before this , we did passed by Monkey Bay but due to high tide, no monkey at sight thus proceed to this very last stop for snorkeling..

 

Fishes eating watermelon

 

I went for the first snorkeling session but the second one, I was very reluctant to go down . I’m ashamed to admit that I’m actually very very scared of the fishes, corals and reefs (sea urchin and star fish will make it worst)…Hahaha. When the fishes wriggled beside/around me, I felt like I want to scream and swim as fast as I could to the boat (so stupid). Even my dear and my sis asked me why I chose Krabi for holiday……I wonder why too. So I stayed back to be his stalker photographer.

 

Adorable snorkeling style…like grandpa strolling in the garden

 

Love this picture so much (self-praise)

 

Ugly star fish…Eeeeekkkkkk!!

 

Everyone was exhausted by the end of the trip…heading back

 

Remember this ok? But I’m afraid it won’t be enough…

 

We forgot to put on sunscreen WHY??? WHY??? I only remembered by the end of the trip. My dear wouldn’t care cause he won’t become darker. Just turned red and the next day, he will be back to normal. 

I was slightly baked, in a cute way :3 , V-shape around the collar bone and 1/3 of my hand. Hahaha. Though I’m not a sea person, I really enjoyed my time with my dear nonetheless.

Good service and free flow of drinks was an added bonus!!

So I will blog about our next activities soon ok? Krabi town night market. Tata~ ^^
