2006 Dec17-27 BKK-Phuket Rd Trip

 

Day 1
BKK to Prachuap
Found a beachfront accommodation and made enquiry. Good rate, good stay.

Day 2
Relaxing morning. Visited the aquarium at Prachuap. Slow drive to Chumpon.
'
Day 3
Destination - Isthmus of Kra. Rustic. Beautiful sunset from the corner stilt-unit - right above the sea water where fishermen would come crabbing very early in the morning (4-5am).


Day 4
Local reservoir with lots of fish. Again not many people at all.
Ranong town - with hotspring for public to use (feet soaking) for free.



Day 5
Lots of signages (resort) pointing to a right turn and so I decided to heed their advices.  Next thing we were on a ferry and checked into a beautiful island resort. That evening, a newfound friend took us our for dinner and it turned out the restaurant owner is Ahia Queng!! How wonderful!

Phuket 2005 Day1

A good ending to Day 1 - sunset at Patong No trip is complete without a sample of local dishes. This is pork ribs cooked with black sugar cane and served with fried mee. Day 2 - Canoeing at PhaNga Bay. We had to duck. We had to pose. I've got James Bond island on my hand. This is where they shot... The Man With The Golden Gun. Back to the hotel... a surprise performance. Day 3 - Phi Phi kita mari mari The FMP (full moon party) girls!! It was going to be the first FMP since the tsunami Hanging out with the FMP gang First glimpse of post tsunami PhiPhi Life goes on as usual Hope amidst ruins Fishes at the jetty. A glimpse of Maya Beach - sorry girls, no Leo Di Caprio there today (they filmed The Beach here). Peng considering "to plunge or not to plunge" TL has plunged!
