The trip to Phi Phi Islands was a part of our one week Phuket itinerary.

We were picked by 7:30 am from our Seaview Hotel Patong in a mini-bus and after picking couple of more tourists from the nearby area we arrived at marina and waited for about 30 minutes. Toilet facilities available in here. We were offered snacks and tea. There lies a pile of sea-sickness pills in a basket next to snacks for free in case you need them.

We were then explained with dos and don’ts of the trip and about upcoming full day activities.

We bought beach shoes and mobile waterproof covers from the nearby shop that sells all relevant items.

We soon boarded the speedboat and reached Bamboo (Khai) Island after sailing for about 2 hours through high waves jumping and bumping as we sat in the front open side of the boat.

I strongly recommend to go well prepared for enjoying each and every second of the trip. For instance, wear light clothes and beach shoes, apply and carry plenty of sun lotion, carry towels, travel light with no heavy belongings, waterproof mobiles and cameras (water splashes all over and through).

Scuba diving too can be availed by paying extra bucks which we didn’t as we found the time allowed for it was bit short as we were more concerned about not missing other activities at the islands. We spent our time swimming and snorkelling clicking pictures underwater with GoPro camera.

We rented chairs at the rate of 100/- baht just to keep our belongings under the shed.

We were served with freshly cut watermelon and pineapple slices by the tour operator that were quenching our thirst and we were eating them non-stop. 

We then headed in the same speedboat to another island Phi Phi Don where we had buffet lunch which was so palatable. Mineral water bottles were for free but you have to buy soft drinks at a nominal price. Use of toilets is paid which is ok as it is well cleaned and maintained. We clicked amazing pics at this island too.

After having lunch to our fill, we came back to our speedboat and proceeded to a nearby monkey beach where lots of monkeys are found on the cliffs waiting for the visitors to go near offering them food. Our boat sailed to the cliffs as close as possible allowing us to click great pictures.

We finally visited Koh Khai Islands; clear and stand still waters where we dived from our boat and had a wonderful time swimming.

The ride back was again rough but enjoyable as the tides were high. Again we sat at the front side. Fresh fruits were being supplied on-board as well.

Apparently I didn’t apply sun lotion properly and had sunburns followed by the blisters that appeared next day. I applied aloe vera cream which is available so commonly all over which is quite effective in treating sunburns. Please do take proper care to avoid sunburns. You will not pay attention to it out of excitement. So I repeat do go well prepared and you surely will have a great wonderful memorable trip.

By 6 pm we were dropped back at our hotel.
