I know this post is so late! I can't believe it's been 1 1/2 months since my phuket and i'm in my new company for 1 month plus already!

I really miss the sun, reading a book by the beach/pool on a lazy afternoon..
most of all the best sea tour experience ever.



I mentioned on my previous post i went to Phi Phi island on the 3rd day into my Phuket trip, i booked the tour around 3 months before our trip because according to tripadvisor Simba tours is one of the best sea trips one could have!





You can find out prices for the tour at this webpage:
http://www.simbaseatrips.com/prices_trips.htm

You can also see the itinerary for the phi phi trip:

It's definitely worth every cent i paid for the trip, lots of pictures for this post:






Early in the morning, a driver from SimbaTours came to the hotel to pick us up,
and picked up another couple from australia and we headed to the Phuket Marina..
where we met Jeff, who is the owner of SimbaTours and we were ushered to the excursion boat, we were told to remove our sandals and leave it in a basket provided!

And OFF WE GO!

..the crew dropping the anchor and we're at MAYA BAY and the rest of us re-applying our sunblock before jumping into the crystal clear water where the movie "The Beach" was filmed!!!

Went for a swim with the other tourists, the water was so warm and clear!!!!
After swimming they even prepared fresh fruits and the BEST banana cake i've even eaten. Really the BEST.

Jeff told us the cruder name for this island is called "erection island".. hehehe


picnikfile_pHuHWx

I'm sure you can see why...


It was boyf's first attempt in snorkling and he was so cute and funny!
He didn't know how to kick and swim with the fins and kept bumping into me!

Lots of beautiful corals and colourful fishes! So different from what i saw in tioman,
tioman generally has lots of bleached corals, clown fishes and sea cucumber.. lol

Oh i almost forgot, boyf's nipple got bitten by a fish!
hahahah, all the wtf things always happens to him.

Went to another place, which is called a Hong.
Basically it's a place with sandy seabed, hardly any corals and vegetations so there we little fishes at the area!

Jeff said we have to take a leap to exchange for lunch! (he was just kidding but we all did it anyway)

If the waters in singapore is ever gonna be that clear and gorgeous.
You'll definitely find me at the beach every weekend.

Then we moved on to the "Monkey Island"!

picnikfile_UTnBNa

We were given peanuts to feed the monkeys and they were so cute, the way their little hands grab the peanut from your hand.. But they're wild monkeys afterall, so don't get to close to them!

Yay it's time for lunch! Stopped at another island and the staff prepared our lunch, spread beach mats for us to lie and relax on..

Got stung on my neck, arm, legs by mini jellyfish earlier while snorkelling so i didnt really feel like snorkelling after that..

luckily the crew was very well prepared, at first i didnt know i got stung, just had this burning stinging feeling, but the crew spotted me scratching myself and i whined about it being abit painful and they asked me to come up immediately and sprayed vinegar all over the stinging spots then after awhile it wasn't that bad already.

boyf went down for like 5 seconds and decided to come up and accompany me, awww so sweet!

End of the tour! We arrived back to the marina and said goodbye to everyone.

picnikfile_RKHYNp

I'd really recommend everybody to go to the phi phi tours with Simba Sea Tours cos they're just really awesome, they don't take more than 13-14 pax per trip unlike some tours, yes those are cheaper but they pack 30-40 people on a boat, it's so cramp especially when the phi phi islands are like 1-2 hour boat ride away..
and it's just no fun when the island are filled with people!

Everything was just perfect, except for the stupid jellyfish sting, but thumbs up for alert crew and they were prepared with vinegar spray onboard.

picnikfile_wkzOzj

Tireeeeeed and sleepy after all the snorkelling and sun.
fell asleep all the way on the ride back to the hotel!




Went back to hotel took a dip in the pool and went to shower!

Then had an aloe vera massage, my massage therapist was like massaging so lightly she's like just practically tickling me. Same same even after i told her to massage harder twice. Boo. Boyf swore his therapist was awesome thou.

We had dinner at this restaurant just 5 minutes walk from our hotel,
called Mali Restaurant.

picnikfile_FSVkOu

Grilled skewered meat!!!


picnikfile_04rRrG

Ordered myself a 89baht pina colada! Hah, it's only $3?
Where to find alcoholic beverages for $3 in singapore?



picnikfile_K3YbvS

Look at baby's tan line! So garang lah don't put sunblock when i ask him to apply.. wtf. When he was back in singapore he was really peeling like MAD, like seriously.. UN ATTRACTIVEEEEEEE..



picnikfile_Qk4M9b

Loved my grilled tuna! Btw their beef sucked big time thou,
they cooked it medium rare but it's still hard like @#$%,
so i totally would advise everyone to stay away from beef dishes when in phuket.

Went shopping around and we saw this toddler.. he's like maybe 3-4 years old?
And he was doing this:



The fire went off but the brother went to lit it up again and the toddler did that fire spinning thing again. it's just crazy and sad at the same time. ):




Omg i'm so excited!
I'm going to Bangkok with Jacelyn, Nadnut, CCB, Jayden, Fahbian, Mus & Victor next month for new year's eve countdown! It was a pretty last minute decision and we just booked our flight and acommodation yesterday.

I'm so gonna have my favourite crepes, shop like mad, sit crazy tuk tuks and "lomantic
lomantic" with Jacelyn for 3 nights cos we're sharing a room.. teehehehehe.. :D

So sad my darling boyf will not be joining me for this trip, no portable waiter/aircon or bellboy to carry my shopping buys! hahahahas just kidding, i just feel safer
when he's around. Oh well, i'm sure it's gonna be fun!






Loves, TheLuckiestChick.
