Phuket - 3rd Days, Eco Nature Tours

This is the program for today. Sound very execited.

So 1st destination, we arrived at Gibbon Rehabilitation Projects. And the tour guide say that there are only 30 ++ gibbon is leave at phuket. So they do take some action to save them.

This is the cycle of the gibbon'life . The process to save back from killing by people.

You can adopt a gibbon if you interest.


The gibbons in playing around. At there, you can meet with a lots of volunteers who working with the gibbons project. I do meet a volunteer guy from finland who already stay at thailand for 2 years. And now he can listen and speak with some simple thai language. And he do enjoy his life on helping the gibbons.


Next we walking into BangPae WaterFall-Bang Pae Waterfalls is the largest falls in Phuket. It is located near the north part of Phuket, close to the Two Heroines Monument .
The waterfall. Feel cold there.


After that we move to the GEMS gallery -
The first jewellery store in Thailand that have received the international ISO 9002 and ISO 9001:2000. Gems Gallery is situated in four major cities, Bangkok, Chiangmai, Phuket and Pattaya. Each branch has a specific jewellery masterpiece and gems to choose from. Our staffs are willing and welcome to serve you.

Inside the factory, you can see the process of how to make a diamond ring or necklace. Currently i dont have the ability yet. We just sit at the living hall and have some drinks.
Next trip....
Yeah... elephant trekking. Honestly i feel very very very guitly when i put my first step on the back of the elephant. Imagine a 75kg giant step on you. How your feeling? :(
But the elephant have a thick skin and it hair is rough.
And you can see the person is holding a big bamboo stick, he will bite on the elephant head if the elephant is not listening to his instruction. So rude................ Sorry my litter elephant.

( Machine to make rubber)( Here is the final product of the rubber, the tour guide say the market now is good, it can sell at 70Batt per 1kg)

Next ....
( The monkey call Diamond, your can see his innocent look, feel like he give the people to force him make some entertaintment. )

(He can pick the number you want, and it can pick it when all the number plates are closing too)

Next.....
Canoe at the dirty longkang water....
Really feel myself get cheat on the canoe.....somemore it is 1pm, and is damm hot!!!!
No fish, no crocodile , no bird....just an about 10 minute trip.
And the water is not deep, i even can stand and walk myself
So is lunch time !!!!!!!!!!
( I like the rice, very sweety)
( The curry chicken with coconunt source)

Next...........( Snap on the pussy cat sleeping at the templer, so cute)

Templer Wat Chalong, Finally there is a group photo for us


Next.......
We have a 15 minute stop at the view point at Kata Noi Beach. It look nice.
(Police car on the road, better than malaysia.)


So, is another tired day for us. We go hotel have a rest and looking for dinner again. Today we really do enjoy on the rich programs.


Phuket - 2nd day, Night Style + Dinner

At phuket, you can found many food and stall along the street. And the price is not expensive and taste good.


You can pick the fresh seafood by yourself. And the way you want to cook. Price always can negotiate.
My fresh Banana juice and pineapple juice !

My pork fried mee and keow tiao........PORK PORK PORK!!!!!!
SeaFood Fried Rice

After finish, we go to walk along the street and see whether any happening event on this island

Metalica? FAKE one la.......
This band sing the same song everyday, but they are teen and their performance is good.
Some seafood price from those high class restaurent

Looking something for supper, i saw a aunty is squating and selling barbecue stick. Quite pity for her, And we decide to have a try the nice barbecue stick.
There is many choice, fish ball, meat ball , or sotong, pork. All only 10 thai batt perstick. If you buy at those stall will cost more 5thai batt.

The aunty do asking me something, but in thai language again........@.@
we just can show our smile to each other and say "ka bun cup "( Thanks) to her.


Honestly the meat ball is nice, but the chillie source is super spicy!!! That why she prove us some vegetable( Free of charge). If you buy at those stall, most the stall didnt prove extra vegetable for you.

( 30 batt for my supper)

You can see many tuk tuk car at the street. Is just look like a mini van.
Go hotel have a sleep and prepare the trip for tomorrow. Zzz...........................

Phuket - 2nd day, Island Trip

After we had our tomyam cup mee as our breakfast, a van took us to the port. And we took a fast boat to the island. And you can rent a fin for snorkelling, just RM10(100 thai batt), believe me that you can swim faster and more relax on snorkelling with the fin.

Because of some problem, the tour guide say we will change the sequence of the trip. ( Our program for today)

After an hour journey, we reach our first destination at Maya Beach. The tour guide only allow to stay half hour. Here you snap picture and have a swim.



After that, we proceed to Phile Cove Sightseeing, Viking cake to take photo and Loh Saman Bay Sightseeing. I was very disapointed on the activity, because when we reach on those pretty island, and the tour guide will say :"This place is nice to swimming, but not snorkelling". So we also didnt has to chance to have a swim or snorkelling. Just a sightseeing @.@


(Pileh Cove, the water is very clean and the cove look amazing)

(Viking Cave-the cave has numerous cave paintings of vessels, resembling Viking longboats.)


Next, we go to monkey beach.
The monkey is very smart,when they saw boat arrived. They will stand beside the beach and look for food. Dont worry, they wont bite people as long as you not play fool with them :D

(OMG, it drinking Sprite)


And then we move to Loh Samah Bay for snorkelling. ahh...the coral is very close to our body while snorkelling, we had to be very carefully on it. Somemore i got a long leg @.@
We had a half hour to snorkelling. Honestly the coral is much pretty than my perhentian trip. Maybe the coral is close to us.


Then we had our lunch on Phi Phi Don Areeda Restaurant. Is a buffet lunch. Not bad the food ( when you are lunch, every food is consider good taste)


Finally we go for Khai Nui Island for snorkelling and relaxing. So at there you can see many bikini girls or naked girls having their sun bath :D




We start our snorkelling about 400meter away from the beach. The fishs and corals all is so beautiful under the sea. Next time i should buy a water proof camera to snap some underwater photo. We stay at this beach about 2 hour.
(Storm and raining is coming, we have to go back)
We back to hotel and take a nice shower. Then planning for our night activity.

Phuket - First day, Lunch + walk walk


After take bath and have a short rest, we go out to find some food for lunch. At phuket, you can found that everyone is waiting the chance to serve you.

So we decide to choose a stall that is less bothers.
The shop is call AON Friendly Lot 42. The staff is nice , friendly and can speak english. So this make us feel easy to communicate

( I like my cocount shake !!!!!!!!! very nice !!!!! )

( Chicken gralic and black pepper , Pork Tom yam Gung)
The tom yam is different with Malaysia, Tom Yam is supposed to have the balance tastes of sweet, sour, salty and hot. The tomyam come with some kaffir lime leaves,lemon grass
, PORK, sotong,and mussle.

(Soup and sweet prawn, Pineapple rice, i like the pineapple rice, damm sweet)

(Lemon fish, very fresh and the source is nice!!)

The lunch cost us 770Baht. I think is quite cheap if compare with KL.
Overall the food is very nice and i think this is the most valueable and best food we try at phuket. Because the rest of the day, the food is not that plentiful.


After eating , we go to the beach and have a walk


48 batt for a large size beer !!!
Then we go back hotel and had a rest.
