Southern Thailand Trip. Day 3: Four Islands

-
Our long-tail boat, number 15.
We visited Phuket back in 2011, where we had an island hopping tour to Phi Phi and Phang Nga Bay. Phi Phi Island is the most beautiful island in Andaman -- which I would highly recommend departing from either Krabi or Phuket. So, this time around, we decided to get only one day of island trips, which is the 4-island trip.

This full-day tour cruised on a traditional long-tail boat to 4 beautiful small islands near Railay Beach. Swimming, snorkeling, sunbathing, and photography are the main activities to enjoy along the trip guided by Shai, Alex, Momo, and Tata.

Our next stop, Chicken Island, got its name from a bizarre rock formation that resembles the head of a chicken. The boat then stops for 30 minutes of snorkeling beside the island before we continue for swimming and sunbathing at Tup Island. 

Can you spot the chicken head?
Snorkeling time!

Ours are pink barracudas.
Poda Island, the last stop of this tour, offers a lovely white sandy beach with crystal-clear water. The tour ends around 4pm. We had a short rest before going to the Krabi night market, a 20-minute drive by van. If you are looking for souvenirs, save for this place.

Indian Ocean Escapade. Day 1: Kuala Lumpur - Malé, Maldives

-

Our trip to Malé, Maldives, was a mix of excitement and relaxation. From smooth flights to scenic speedboat rides, we had a wonderful time exploring Maafushi Island. This journey gave us peaceful sunsets, tasty meals, and the chance to soak up the beauty of this tropical paradise.  We started our journey early in the morning at Terminal 1, Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KUL). Our flight was scheduled for 10:20 am with Batik Air, flight number OD 293. The check-in process was smooth, and we were ready for the adventure ahead. The flight took 4 hours and 25 minutes, crossing over the stunning Indian Ocean. We landed at Velana International Airport (MLE), Male, around 1 pm local time. The view from the plane as we approached Male was breathtaking—clear blue waters and tiny islands dotting the ocean. After landing in Male, we headed to counter 13 for the Kaani Speed Boat service. It’s an efficient way to get from Male to nearby islands like Maafushi. We boarded at around 2 pm for ...

China Ancient Trip, Day 1-2: Hong Kong

I was here, HK airport! We went for a holiday to China between October 18 and 28, 2013.  Our holiday often will visit at most 3 cities where we will be staying at least two nights in each place.  Historic sites, museums, landmarks, and so on are places that not only do we visit, but we will explore the best possible, given that we have the opportunity to be there. As has been said, tourists take pictures; the travelers keep the memories. :P oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo We landed at Chek Lap Kok airport in the late Friday evening. Flight MH432 to Hong Kong took nearly 4 hours, and it has the same time zone as Malaysia. No jet lag or anything, but we still feel the fatigue of travel. Anyhow, a brisk immigration procedure at the HK airport made things easier. We had booked in advance a round-trip Vigor's shuttle bus that cost HKD $103 for 3 persons. The ride crossed Lantau Island and Kowloon before reaching Hong Kong Island. It was raining heavily at KLIA; I ha...
