It was another gorgeous morning in Phuket. After having gone to Koh Phi Phi and being amazed by the beauty, I never imagined I would see anything comparable so soon. All of the locals really talk a lot about the beauty of the Similan Islands. They claimed it is more gorgeous than Koh Phi Phi. Because of these claims, Veronica and I decided to take a day trip to the Similan Islands today.
We found our transportation to the pier to be quite interesting, the van had stickers telling us that there was no dogs, sheep, kites, blowing arse, or sex allowed on the van. However, being sexy was ok. Thank goodness, or Veronica would not have been allowed to ride.
We are incredibly happy we did the day trip. I don't know that I would dismiss the beauty of Phi Phi and say the Similans are more beautiful, because it is such a tough comparison. Phi Phi is gorgeous with its amazing land formations and sparkling emerald color waters. The Similans are a little less impressive in terms of land formation, but I am partial to the crystal blue waters surrounding the Similans. I think the fact that I felt great and did not have to take bathroom or vomit breaks really helped make it a fantastic experience as well.
We had a great deal of fun meeting a few nice people from Chicago. They were some of the few Americans that we met on our trip. Although, the folks from Chicago, were actually immigrants from Bosnia. It was great to have good people on the tour to enjoy snorkeling, island visits and diving off the boat. The snorkeling was really something to behold. We saw an amazing number of fish, a sea turtle, a shark and one fellow suffered a jelly-fish sting.
After returning to the resort, we took a little time to meditate in the little relaxation/reflection area by our room. I figured it would be a good idea, because tomorrow.....it is off to Bangkok.
