DAY 1 - PATONG BEACH & BANGLA ROAD (15/5/09)
I must say that my short trip to Phuket & Phi Phi Isles were one of my better experiences. Well, at least it's not in the period of peak season. It was on Friday in the month of May and I reached Phuket International Airport at around 2:30p.m. with a short 1 1/2 hours flight via Air Asia.
After check-in at Baumanburi Resort Hotel, I headed straight to Patong beach. Well, not for swimming but to source for a trip package to Phi Phi Isles the next day. True enough after bargaining with probably several tour companies, I finally manage to get a great deal for a Day Trip the next day to Phi Phi Isles.
I manage to take a few shots (Patong Beach Top Pic 1 & 2 above) and headed back to hotel. As the sun goes down the nite life in Bangla Road is everywhere. Well, I guess pictures may not tell you everything about the nite life in Bangla Road, so I have my HD 720p video travel log uploaded here for you to enjoy :http://vimeo.com/channels/44627

DAY 2 - PHI PHI ISLES (16/5/2009)
There's lotsa activities and places to visit and some of which are Phi Phi Lay's Maya Bay, Loh Samah Bay, Pileh cove and Viking Cave. My last stop was at Khai Nok Island. For some reasons, I felt that Khai Nok Island has a better scenery compared to all the other major attractions. (See 2 Pics from bottom). Overall, the month of May is a great time to visit Phuket & Phi Phi but the sun is at its hottest time of the year and luckily there's still rain at about less than 5 minutes!
There are still lots of people everywhere but not as much as other peak seasons like 4th quarter of the year. Nevertheless, drinking and eating around Bangla Street or Patong are rather moderate in crowds.
DAY 3 - FLY BACK HOME (17/6/2009)
Although it was a rather short trip at 3 Days 2 Nites but Phi Phi Isles really does somewhat live up to its name as one of the most beautiful islands in the world. With all the fond memories, uneven tanned, peeling skin and beers, I'm glad I went to Phi Phi.
