Phuket:- day trip to phang nga bay

Photo

Blogging on the plane.

Wasnt too happy to have the alarm sounding off at 6 of cos. Couldnt climb out of bed till 630. Hotel bfast not too bad. Ya nice cozy hotel, surely to give it some good reviews. Need a bit of walk to the central area tho.

Mini tour bus to phang nga. Long road trip. Stopped somewhere for pineapple, dragon fruit, watermelon and custard apple. A small fruit plantation, other than a few with fruits hanging frm the branches, the others are bare, must have gone to the plates.

White water rafting. Not fun. Not as exciting as kk. normal rafting. Guide says i paddle well tho. What r the guys doing? Pro guides as usual, manoever well ard the rocks.

Elephant treking. Poor animal tho. Indian elephant. Smaller ears compared to the african. i hope it doesnt feel the weight of carrying us. Cant they do without the chair on the back? Looks painful. Heart bleeding. So wasnt too comfortable riding it. It is trained ti pose with its trunk in front of camera. How smart. Elephant n monkey shows. Sigh. Cant seem to enjoy it. Other than looking at the ring ard the monkey's neck being tugged when it isnt doing what it is supposed to do. Such is life.

Swimming at the waterfall. Misty and the water was uber cold. Didnt expect that much pressure preventing me from swimming near it.

So-so tour. Fun part was the grp we went with tho. 6 from melbourne. The teens were on the same raft as us. Expected their age when they were asked. 16. Doing things guys do at the age of 16. Sigh. The adult guys were cheeky n playful. Funny peeps who determine the mood of the trip. Took pics of those knocked out on the bus. Would i still dare to slp? The women are more typical tais tais, who love to shop. 2 japanese. Damn i was doing actions more than speaking properly except for the initial greeting and then followed by single words, hoping they will understand. There's guide for them. Thai, learned japanese for only 6 mths. Sugoi. 2 from bahrain. Young couple, guy same age as me, the gal is only 21 and she watches japanese dorama too. So when she speaks english to the japanese, they couldnt understand, and look at me for help. That's when they were so amused by my actions. Musukashii ne. They got that. 萍水相逢 bunch.

Macdonalds for dinner. Explored the night life. Concussed immediately upon reaching back the hotel.
