Island Hopping Trip 13-17 Mar 09 Day 1

Hey, i step on Thailand once again! Some ask why alwaz went to Thailand? I say Thailand is like a heaven to me, especially gal like me who love shopping, beautiful beaches, snorkeling or enjoying the wind breezing, watching the sunset view, and the food, unresistable!
It is a 5D4N trip but turn into 6D5N island hopping trip, "thanks" to FIREFLY for extending our trip!?!?

We start our journey real early and when reach Sg dua toll, it is already 3.30am. By the time we reach the Kastam, it is just 4.30am. Driver was crazy, drive us in a high speed, in his own "stuntman" way, we realize our life in dangerous and i can't sleep along d way with having this pro driver along. Cost: 5500baht per van.

9 of us, where is 9th person? Holding Canon IXUS 870 IS camera la....














By the time we reach Pak Meng Jetty, already 9.15am. V have our seafood porridge, real delicious.










































We sit on speedboat (v had ugrade from long tail boat to speedboat..believe me..better!) heading to Ko Rok claimed to be the best island in Andaman sea.

We still energetic at this point of time...

































Sea water @ Ko Rok, wat a cystal clear water..:-)




















































































We have our great lunch there, d fried chicken, squid, got flower crab some more. Of course la, we paid 3200baht for this day trip which also include boat transfer to Phi Phi.














After the snorkeling & lunch, we were tired & our stomach were full. While the speedboat heading to Phi Phi Island, we slept like a dead fish..hee....








It took one & a half hour to reach Phi Phi. By the time we reach, it is almost 4.30pm.
While we waiting for the Hotel Staff to lead us to the earlier book Hotel - Golden Hill Hotel, we took some shoots.

After about 20 minutes time, the hotel staff came with trolly to carry our luggages and we need to follow them to our Hotel. We can't believe that we need to go pass number of streets and up hill some more before can even reach our Hotel. Some of our friends called it as Go To xxll Hotel. :-p




























We passed through this Dam on the way walk to Hotel, we then realize we are going to use this water for our bathing & washing. So little? Enough?














Finally we reached our Hotel.

Go To xxll Hotel <-- They even have no water when we were in the middle of bathing, how terrible!? And some more in website they called this as Fan(tastic) room, sauna room got la...*~*

After found out from the Hotel staff, we then realize the Hotel is depending on rains water on the Dam before pump it to our room. And if there is no raining, then we will "eat grass". Anyway, we still need to hunt for food even some of us un satisfy with the Hotel condition.

We still eat happily despite of the mishap in the evening.














Me, Sultan, King Kong & Jessie ordered the "Traffic Light" curries - red, green & yellow curries...














We then have a night walk @ Phi Phi streets....Lots of things to see, from the humorous T-shirt, to jewellery & even art works....














































After the walk, we head back to Hotel hoping for water to bath but unfortunely i am in the third person to bath & no water supply after the 2nd person. Thus，i would to use the bathroom near lobby and clean myself with wet towel. Go To xxll Hotel, no next time, please...
