It was Day 3. The prediction on tsunamis was only a hoax. On Day 3, the sun was shinning happily and to Phi Phi Island, here we come!
Buffet breakfast at Krabi La Playa, same menu everyday!
The tour starts at 830PM, a van came to pick us from the hotel. The van was also full of tourist from other hotel and it was heading to Ao Nang pier to depart to Phi Phi Island.

We took the tour with speed boat. I know there is another boat to try i.e the long tail boat. I am not sure how much will it cost but the long tail boat looks slow compared to the speed boat. The speed boat memang laju okay. Hubby and I took the challenge to sit at the front and kami (well it was actually me alone) menjerit-jerit as the boat melambung-lambung membelah ombak. Our tour guide namanyer Mohamad. He claims the he is Muslim. Die memang peramah, suka menyanyi and cakap macam ada slang. Die sebut dollar as dola (hi dola~). Hihi. He saw our henna and straightaway came to us and asked
"Abe and Kakak, just married?"
We laughed like hell gak lah because he called my hubby Abe kan. And along the trip pon die panggil hubby Abe.
The bumpy journey took for about 45 minutes before we hit for our first stop i.e Bamboo Island. In Bamboo Island, we stopped for one hour for swim, sunbathing, snorkeling and relaxing. Mat asked us to familiarize with the snorkeling equipment because our next stop for snokerling, it will be open sea snorkeling. For me, that was my first time snorkeling for the whole of my life and I like it so much :) Hubby has no problem with this activity, he has done it several times already.
Bamboo Island from far After Bamboo Island, the boat headed to Phi Phi Island and on its way, it passed by few places like the Viking Cave and for photo snapping. On ya, before we actually arrive at Phi Phi, we stop at Maya Bay, the famous place from the movie the Beach. We were at Maya Bay for one hour. Hubby and I lepak mandi-mandi and then took some photos around that area. Maya Bay memang cantik :):)
Viking Cave, ada orang duduk dalam ni okMaya BayPhi Phi DonMendarat After Maya Bay, kami menuju ke Phi Phi Don. Phi Phi Don is actually a small island yang ada development like kedai, hotel, jetty and etc. It's like a small town. You can opt to stay in a hotel in Phi Phi, but usually orang yang go for scuba diving je yang stay in Phi Phi. Most tourist would prefer to stay in Ao Nang because it's the center to go everwhere. In Phi Phi, we had lunch. Mat said it's safe for us to eat the food because it's halal. So kami pon makan dengan gembira. Lunch die pon sedap. They served spagetti, tomyam, ayam masak gajus and mixed vegetable. Spagetti die sedap. Nyum.

Sunbathing
After lunch, we were left to do anything that we want in that island for 1.5 hours. It makes sense to left us for 2 hours in there because there are so many places to venture. Ada banyak kedai cenderahati jugak but we found it more expensive than kedai in Ao Nang. So we didn't buy anything from Phi Phi except for ICE AGE 3 DVD! chihihihi. Kitaorang dah plan nak tengok Ice Age 3 dalam bilik nanti.
Jalan-jalan, makan ice cream, took photos, so it's time for us to leave Phi Phi. Bye bye Phi Phi. On our way back, we passed by at Monkey Beach for a while untuk bagi monkey makan. And then near Phi Phi, this one place yang cantik untuk open sea snorkeling.
Snorkeling area Aha, snorkeling kat sini lah yang paling best so far. The water is so clear and blue. Ada banyak tiger fishes passing by us. Mat gave us mellons to umpan the tiger fishes to come near us. Tiger fish tu semua suke mellons. Diorang tak takut pon makan mellons from my hand :).

Snorkeling kat Phi Phi tadi adalah yang paling best during our trip to Krabi ni. After that kami balik to Ao Nang, another 45 minutes of bumpy journey. Sampai Ao Nang, at around 4PM, the van sent us back to the hotel. Sampai saja hotel kami terus blackout sampai esok pagi sebab kepenatan, tak makan dinner pon.
