And yea, if you're ever thinking of going to Phuket, don't. But go to the islands surrounding Phuket like Phi Phi, Maya & Khai (what i covered). At the tourist centre, i saw a list of many other islands - the likes of James Bond island (just because Bond shot a movie scene there - they fuckin capitalized on it and named the island by Bond's name, so they can rack in more cash from tourism wtf). I also saw an island called "Similan Island". Similan in Hokkien translates to 'What the dick' Island. Still not comparable to "Bangla road" tho.... lol racist mother fuckers.
Anyway, when i was headin out on my Island tour, and it was end of the year - so the tides were rough - and i was just watching how the Tsunami swept away Phi Phi island the night before, and I was headin to Phi Phi island, and the boat engines broke down & had to be restarted a couple of times, and when the engines ceased, the boat swayed when hit by the violent waves - and i was freakin out for a bit lol.
dd
Anyway, bout an hour out, the weather calmed down and we hit Maya island, the island where Leonardo Di'Caprio (that sissy boy) shot "The Beach". And i swear everyone, every fuckin one will know that "The Beach" was shot here because the tour guide repeats it like 3 million times he makes sure it sinks into your memories.
"This place, is place in Hollywood movie. Hollywood movie. HOLLYWOOD MOVIE. The Beach. Leonardo Caprio... Anybody know movie, the Beach?"
"OK we 10 minutes out from place in Hollywood movie, the beach....the beach"
"OK ladies and gentlemen, we almost reach Maya island, Leonardo reach here before, so pls get ready. We go down take pictures, must take pictures. Place in Hollywood movie"
"OK we here in Maya island, welcome! you are at place where Hollywood movie is shot. Enjoy"
WTF
Despite the over-selling, the place was definitely pretty, apart from being over-crowded with white ladies who take pride of their saggy ceculite-filled asses, they wear G strings to show it off. Fuckin eye sore....

We then adjourned to Monkey island.
a
The island which has monkeys at the beach obviously.
a
And what was quite interesting was that the boatman brought 3 cups of Coca Cola and 2 combs of banana to the leader of the pack - and that in exchange for them to stay at the beach for pictures and behave.
a
I have monkeys dropping on me when im jogging in the park so i wasn't impressed at all with the sight of monkeys.
a
The whites were however dazzled... totally impressed.

This was PURE AWESOMENESS!

Snorkelling at Phi Phi Don.
aa
a
EWW the ocean smells so salty its like a pool of piss.
aa
a
a
This is where we stayed in Phi Phi Don. And its got a majestic view.
aa
These challets are all newly built after the Tsunami wipe out where more then 1,500 people were killed. So to be really honest, i didnt have 100% peace in mind when we were at Phi Phi Don... lol
a
Would you?
a
a
aaa
a
The final island i covered was Khai island. And i remember this place for how expensive it was lol. I had to pay 150 bahtss to sit down on a chair. Paid 100 bahts for 5 visits to the toilet. Another 300 bahts for some water & ice-cream... lol not that its not affordable but.... for things you dont normally pay for
Looking forward to another island trip in December!!!
