Hello everyone!

Have you ever looked at the sea and wished you could stay there forever? You could stay here for the rest of your life, right?

And this is another time we've chosen to come to the Andaman Sea. There are still many places we haven't been to, and we plan to visit every island!

Let's get started!

Our flight departed from Don Mueang Airport at 22:00. We arrived at the airport early, which was fortunate as we had brought a book to read. We were impressed by the new gate at Don Mueang, which was spacious and modern.

We arrived in Phuket very late at night and only had the chance to see the city's夜景. We also finally got the opportunity to eat at Kobe Steakhouse.

Today, we will go diving at Similan. The diving tour with transportation costs 2,000 baht per person. The car picked us up at 7 am. We went on a tour of Phuket Tour Today, which is located in Phang Nga. It took about 1:30 hours to get there by van. I didn't think it would take that long. I thought we would board the boat in Phuket, so I didn't bring any clothes to change into. Anyone who is going to prepare well, please bring everything you need.

Arriving at the port around 9:10 AM, we were greeted by a large crowd. The port offered tea, coffee, and snacks, but we arrived late and had to quickly devour everything.

The journey to Similan National Park takes about an hour. On the day we went, the news said there would be a storm. Oh no, not again! It's April, how could it rain?

After a short boat ride, we arrived at the stunning Similan Islands. Despite the lack of sunshine and the threat of rain, the beauty of the islands was breathtaking. The experience was truly unforgettable.

The park is a great place to take photos, swim, and jump around. We had lunch there, which was an ordinary buffet. The atmosphere was not that great, and I must say the food was not delicious at all.

After lunch, we were supposed to go diving, but the guide informed us that a storm was approaching Koh Kiu Pai, so we had to reschedule our dive to Koh Pa. We were a little disappointed, but we understood the safety concerns.

The Similan Islands tour offers diving at three islands, namely Islands 9, 8, and 4, which are located in close proximity to each other.

Let's go for a ride! :)

The underwater world of the Similan Islands remains remarkably beautiful, teeming with diverse marine life. Schools of vibrantly colored fish, including the adorable clownfish (Nemo), can be observed. These fish exhibit a remarkable tolerance for human presence, allowing divers to capture stunning photographs without them fleeing. Their playful nature is evident as they dart around in close proximity.

After completing the dive at Koh 4, we took a break on the beach of Koh 4. The guide allowed us to stay on the beach for approximately one and a half hours.

The water was crystal clear and refreshingly cool, teeming with an abundance of fish. The sun was intense, but the refreshing water made us forget about the heat. It was time to return to the boat. The guide informed us that we would be leaving around 3 pm, but our departure was delayed due to an unexpected event. An elderly foreign couple refused to board the boat, opting to stay at Ao Uttaray. The guide explained that booking through a tour agency is more expensive than purchasing tickets independently, but tour guides do not permit such behavior. If a guide fails to return with all tourists, they are liable for the tour cost.

Good morning! Today, I'm exploring the old town. It's still early, so there aren't many people around. I'm hoping to find some delicious food to eat.

- This morning, let's go eat dim sum, a famous southern dish.

- Enjoy a refreshing and perfectly balanced sweet and sour honey lemon O-aew at Cafe'In.

• After that, we went to have coffee at the 2521 bookstore, which has a quiet and comfortable atmosphere. I always stop by there whenever I'm in the area.

On the day we visited the bookstore, there was also a photo exhibition featuring stunning analog black and white photography. The photos were taken on film and captured various locations in Phuket. It was a delightful experience.

It's lunchtime! Today, we're going to eat local food at Pliang Phai Restaurant. It's located near Bang Pae Waterfall, a bit deep in the forest, but the food is incredibly delicious! Everything is delicious. If you're in Phuket, I highly recommend this restaurant. Just open your map and go! The prices are also reasonable. I'm getting hungry just talking about it. My stomach is growling! 555555

After a satisfying meal, we took a short walk to a nearby waterfall, Bang Pae Waterfall. It was a small cascade, not particularly large, with a path leading to the top. However, we opted to sit by the water's edge, dipping our feet in the cool stream, as we were feeling full and a bit tired. The children, however, were having a blast, splashing and playing in the water. While we had planned to go snorkeling every day, yesterday's snorkeling adventure left us feeling the need to relax today before our bodies gave out.

Day 3, the last day. Today we went diving at Racha Island with Raya Princess Tour for 1,000 baht. The car picked us up at our hotel and took us to the pier. We took a boat to the island, which took about 30 minutes.

Upon arrival at the beach, you will be greeted by a multitude of umbrellas lining the shore. While these umbrellas may appear inviting, be aware that they are not free to use. Renting an umbrella will cost 200 baht per unit. If you choose not to rent an umbrella, be prepared for the intense sun, as there are no other shaded areas available. However, you are welcome to stay on the beach for as long as you like. Even after returning from your snorkeling adventure, you can continue to relax on the beach, where your belongings will be safeguarded. The guides will allow you to explore the area at your leisure, and the beach itself offers opportunities for snorkeling amidst the coral reefs and vibrant fish. However, be prepared for the scorching heat.

It's lunchtime! The guide called us to board the boat for lunch. After a short sail, we arrived at a private island exclusively for our tour group. The tranquility and lack of crowds were delightful. The delicious buffet offered a wide variety of options, making this a truly enjoyable experience.

After a satisfying meal, we jumped into the water to see the fish. Unfortunately, the weather was cloudy again today, making visibility poor. We could only see fish swimming around aimlessly. The Raja Ferry is a popular choice for diving near the beach and slightly further out. Most people relax on the beach, which tends to be crowded due to the island's proximity to Phuket. The guides allow us to play until around 3-4 pm before calling us back to the boat to return to shore. Alternatively, we can stay overnight at a hotel on the island, although the prices are quite high.

It's time to say goodbye to the Andaman Sea. We arrived back on shore and a van was waiting to take us to our accommodation. I didn't want to leave, but due to work commitments, I had to return.

This three-day trip to Phuket was not a solo adventure like my last one. This time, I was joined by a friend I've known since kindergarten. Traveling together brought us closer and allowed us to explore new topics as adults, sharing knowledge and experiences. Reflecting on childhood jokes made us realize how much we've grown. This Phuket trip was filled with laughter, crazy antics, and unforgettable memories.

Don't forget to follow along as I share the places we visited. Whether you're reading this sitting down, walking, or lying in bed, anywhere in the world, it'll feel like you're traveling with us.
