Phuket Day 2

Hey fellas, it's second day already ! so, today we are going to Maiton Island trip. As usual our pick up's at 7am then we went to pick up other guests all over Phuket ! First we went to Paresa Resort then off to Kalima Resort & Spa then to Royal Phuket City, for about 2 hours in the van we finally arrived at Phuket Pier ready to board our speedboat and depart for Maiton Island.


Breakfast

On my way to the room

The journey from the pier to Maiton Island is about 15mins boat ride and the wave that time was so big ! yup ! so bumpy but i enjoyed it ! but because of the big wave and dangerous undercurrent so we are not allowed to go for snorkelling nor swimming at that time. We were basically asked to sit for awhile while waiting for the sea to be a little bit calm, at an abandoned restaurant which they made as their port for their guests to hangout. This is my second time travelling with Love Andaman and i'm very satisfied with their services! i really recommend to u guys who happen to go to Phuket for a holiday and dunno which tour operator to go for an island trip ! They're the ones whom u want to go with ! trust me ! they're quite expensive though but it's worth every penny ! but they only go to a few nice Islands such as Maiton Island, TaChai Island, Surin Island and Similan Island. This is best of the best Island u should not miss !


Our speedboat and tour guide

 Boat ride

I've been to Similan Island before as u can see in my previous Phuket trip last year. So, my original plan was i'm supposed to go for Tachai Island this year but they only open for Tachai trip every year on 15th October to 15th May only. So, not my luck this year it seems. So, i chose Maiton instead. Maiton Island is a small private island resort basically for honeymooners and the island itself has very nice blue sea with nice coral.

After enjoying the sea breeze for awhile the tour guide take us all up to the view point where we can see the whole Phuket from up there. After taking several pictures we hiked down the hill and straight away headed to the speedboat and get ready for snorkelling. After about an hour we all swim back to the shore and had lunch before we leave back to our hotel and get ready for dinner.

Well another 2hours van ride after sending all the other guests to their hotels we finally arrived to our hotel safe and sound ! but i kinda get car sick ! but what to do, i chose to stay at the very far resort ! serve me right?! pfft* i headed to the pool straight and ordered our dinner by the pool while i having a night swim. i actually kinda feel like what a waste paying for quite an expensive resort but i'm out all the time. So, i need to enjoy their facilities as much as i could ! right? lol

Phuket Day 1

Phuket again guys !! as u know i've been to Phuket last year for our 1st honeymoon and we loved it and we were actually saying that we are gonna come back here but not this soon..haha.. but it seems like it meant to be that we have to come back here and experience another side of Phuket. Because the last time we here, we chose to stay in Patong area for the first 5 nights and i didn't like it for bits, because Patong is very crowded and i'm not feel safe there and it's quite a dirty place. So, nope.. don't like it. Then we finish up our 1st anniversary in The Surin Phuket which is wayyyyy better ! stunning place for a honeymooner ! 

But this time i chose to stay wayyyy further than Patong and Surin ! i chose Renaissance Phuket Resort and Spa in Mai Khao which is nearby to Phang Nga. it's actually at the border. People say that Mai Khao is "in the middle of nowhere" but i like it soooooo much ! because that's what u want when u are on honeymoon. I love every bits of this resort ! and there are several other hotels in that area such as Anantara Phuket, Anantara Vacation Club, JW Marriott Resort, JW Marriott Beach Club, Sala Phuket and several more, i can't really remembered but all luxury resort for sure.


We left Krabi around 11am (Thai time) and arrived at Phuket at 1pm. Checked-in as usual, after seeing our beautiful honeymoon room we straight away headed to Jungceylon shopping mall in Patong because i needed a bikini for tomorrow island trip ! hehe.. and my husband wanted to try their tailored shirt and compare to ours, u know, which had better quality.. ngeeee.. then we headed back to our beautiful hotel and having Thai dinner at one of their Restaurant. Food wasn't really good though, but we just wanted to try. Actually the hotel had a shuttle service for those who maybe wanted to had lunch or dinner at JW Marriotts or Turtle Village. We haven't got chance to go there as we were so busy with our own activities.. heheh

3D2N Krabi

Hi guys, i was actually planning to go to Bali for our 2nd honeymoon, but something went wrong, we were suppose to go on 20th Feb but we couldn't because husband suddenly got a call from the owner asking him to come back to KL to work... then we postponed to May or June but something came up then postponed to August then came out the news about the flight, then husband got a little traumatised with flying.  So we decided to go back to Phuket because we can drive there, it's an 11-hours drive straight, but of course we decided to make a stop over, so, that's when we decided to go to Krabi ! Since we both haven't been there and since people talk about it so much, so, why not we go and check it out.

We left KL around 8pm and drove all the way to Penang for a night stop. As usual we stay at Vistana Penang, this time we got a suite room which is so nice and big ! Heee. We started our journey to Krabi around 9am after a quick breakfast at the hotel. Husband chose to use Bukit Kayu Hitam to enter Thailand, which is where we will enter through Danok. We first bought insurance (for the car) at CTC Bukit Kayu Hitam then straight away drove to immigration. Husband did lot of research about how to go through immigration and apparently he found a lot of bloggers telling that "don't forget to put RM1 in your passport" to make it fast, and guess what? we did it ! even though we hesitate but we did it anyway. haha.. and it worked really well. thanks bloggers !! ngeeee :D



Night stop at Vistana Penang Bukit Jambul

As soon as we got through immigration we stop by at Danok to buy a sim card. Then continued about 4 hours journey to Krabi. We arrived at Krabi around 4pm (Thai time) and straight away checked-in to Mercure Krabi Deevana Hotel. Thanks to the Waze GPS which make our journey so smooth and steady ! lol.. 




this is our honeymoon room for 3D2N in Krabi

Thanks hubby for the picture ;)

After seeing our room we straight away headed to Ao Nang town for a late lunch and early dinner. lol. We also booked our 4-islands trip here at one of the booth beside the Jewellery store. We took the 'by speedboat' option which cost us 800 Baht per person including pick up transfer from our Hotel, lunch by the beach, fresh fruit and soft drinks on the boat. But, so far i don't really like Krabi though because obviously Ao Nang is like Phuket only smaller and their beaches are dirty to me, u can't swim at any of their beaches. it's not dirty with the rubbish but their sand just muddy, really not suitable for swimming.


Sunset at Ao Nang Beach

The Lobby

1st night in Krabi

They picked us up at around 8am by a very old school bus. haha. lots of other guest from other hotels also look so weird with the transport but we all survive just fine. lol. actualy from our hotel to the Ao Nang beach where our boat ride is very near by about 5min driving, so not a big deal with the old school bus, as long as not an old school boat ! heheee. Well, as usual as we arrive there the tour guide separated us all into groups, us in the 4 islands group, some in the phi-phi group and bla..bla..bla..


this is how the bus look like ;)


hehehe

The journey to 4-islands is about 15min from Ao nang beach. First stop is Phra Nang Cave which is a place where people pray for fertility. we were there for about 45min then off to Chicken Island for snorkelling for about 40min then we went for lunch by the beach for 50min then we headed to Tup Island waiting for the low tide because we can then actually walk from island to island. After 50min we headed to the last stop which is Poda Island, we were all so tired by then, so most of us rented the beach chair and mat for a quick nap. after 50min we all heading back to the mainland, but because of the low tide they send us to one of the pier near Noppharat Thara beach which is take us 10 to 15min bus ride to our hotels.
