8.00 a.m. Rassada Harbor
8.30 a.m. Taking off
9.30 a.m. towards the deep blue sea
10.15 a.m. - Phi Phi Don
dropping off for those who are taking
day tour package
10.40 a.m. ___ Bay
one of the bays
I am not too sure whether this is
Loh Samah Bay or Pileh Cove
the filming site of The Beach is at Maya Bay
which is at the other side
towards 12 p.m. - Viking Cave
There were found some paintings
that are believed to be made by the ancient vikings.
Today in the cave
there is lots of bird nests that
the locals collect for the birds nest soup.
therefore
here lies the difference
for the 2X price you are
paying for a speedboat package
can actually get closer to the cave
the same applies to Maya Bay
after 12 p.m. – Monkey Beach
snorkeling around Monkey Beach
this is where waterproof camera
comes in handy
for the snorkeling purpose
and also the beach
since we had to swim to the beach
but I don’t swim
floated there
with the help of my manager
12.30 p.m. - Ko Phi Phi Don
lunch + free and easy for two hours
my buffet lunch
feels so good to have food
after the long floating on the sea
largest of the Phi Phi Islands
the only island in the group
with permanent inhabitants
it is indeed small
yet it is “double-sided”
one side of the island
where the pier is
is known as Ton Sai Bay
the other side of the island
lohdalum Bay,
recreational beach
2.30 p.m. departure from Ko Phi Phi Don
back to civilization
afternoon siesta and sunbathing
listening to the daddy sitting behind me
entertaining his son
4.30 p.m. back to the harbour
mini van transport back to Patong
reaching after 6.00 p.m.
due the heavy town traffic
along the way to and fro the harbour
is Patong Old Town
which is quite worth-seeing as well
got a rough idea
of how the town is like
before venture on the day trip on bus there
Walking Around X Heritage Found: Phuket Old Town
