Phuket Trip - Day 2

Had a very pack schedule on the second day. Basically the activities for the day were Elephant trekking and Sunset + Island tour.


The truck that pick us up from hotel to the Island Safari (Elephant Trekking place)


Customize trek made for elephants

They just stopped and hunt for more greens. It's amazing that their trunk is so strong and powerful yet sensitive to the grass around them




Look at its skin...

After the trekking, young elephants proudly showing off their skills.

Sit and greet


Hand-craft elephants. So detailed


The orchids are so big and blossom


Monkey and coconuts

After the trekking, we went back to Patong beach where we were staying for 2 nights to have our lunch. It's not very difficult to find food but to find a cheap one is hard.


Seafood tom yam.

Green curry beef


Fried squid and prawns

The lunch costs us 360 baht with the 3 dishes above, small bottle of Singha beer and a bowl of rice. Time to walkabout the street before depart for the Island tour


Those are soap, attractive colors and design


Got a good deal on the sunglasses


hot eggs and pulut


famous attraction - Patong beach

After the stroll at the beach, it's time to on board to Phang Nga bay (situated at the north of Phuket). Here are the snapshots by Sebastian.


This look like a ship to me


How small we are, so stop comparing yourself with others







Below are the pictures of the strange and beautiful limestone scenery of Phang Nga. Strange is because it has hundreds of tiny islands that contain hidden caves, tunnels, which local people named them as "hongs". Because of the hidden caves and tunnels, big boat can't access, we need to kayak in to view the unique stones.


Good thing is, we got professional to paddle. We just sit back and relax














When you look at the marvelous landscape, the natural environment, the uniqueness of each island, you will know that there is a Creator out there who created all these. Yet we take them for granted...
