Phuket Trip - Day 2: Khai Island

Our third stop (after Maya Bay and Phi Phi Don) was Khai island. It was around 50 minutes cruise away from Phi Phi don. The sea were quite friendly. After around 30 minutes drive, the tour guide (his name was pronounced "you see" -_-") asked us to stand up and look the sea. We stood up and amazed with what we see. In the sea, there were so many pink-ish jellyfish. and they were so huge compared with what I've seen. The tour guide said that the jellyfish there were not dangerous, they stings, but it won't hurt us. Well, although he said so, who dare to swim with those jellyfish?
I only took the picture of the biggest, pity the other jellyfish were not captured
I continue to stand up as the wind helped me overcome the seasick. I enjoyed the scenery. Then I saw a small white sand beach island. The tour guide confirmed that it was Khai Island. Yes, our next stop. The island looks amazing, however, it was really hot. The sky was so clear. We should really thank God for this clear day (Phuket was at its wettest season, we all really worried that our tour will be spoiled by the rain). I tell the other (they were sleeping - the effect of the seasick tablet).
This time, we were recommended to use our slippers. as soon as the boat reached the shore, we queue up and jump. the water was really great, the sand were amazing. we took some snorkel equipment and go to the leafy shelter and decided to buy some coconuts. While I ordered some coconut, one of the groups found a great scene and decided to capture the moment =D~~
=D~~~~~
It was quite hard to order those coconut. Or maybe it was easy to order the coconut but it was hard to assure that the coconut will come in your way (no sugar, little bit of ice, etc). The coconut there wasn't cheap since it was the only restaurant that sold coconuts. It was 60 Baht for each coconut, 420 Baht in total Thanks God they understand the meaning of discount. They let me paid 400 Baht after a short bargain. I waited for sometime since the woman who were in charge in opening the coconut were bothered by a Chinese or Taiwanese tourist. The tourist were not able to speak English and she demanded something. Here comes the 'lost in translation' or even not translated at all @_@. We finished the coconut and applied those sunscreen lotion all over our bodies and faces.


After enjoying the scenery from our leafy shelter, we decided to go to a restaurant with the toilet on it (the only toilet in the island!!!!). Although planning to go to the sea, we were so attached with the restaurant :D and decided to stay there without doing any snorkeling or swimming or fish feeding. We only took some picture in the restaurant's surrounding. 


Suddenly I remembered that we still have 2 loaf of bread to feed the fish. Shienny took it and feed the fish in nearby shallow sea. After a while, she asked for more bread. Amazed, me and Alvin went to the shore with her to see the fish she was talking about. It was a really small fish.......@_@ less than 1 cm in length, I think. The whistle blown, we hurried finish those bread and walk to the boat, back to Phuket.
