Phuket Trip - Day 2: Maya Bay

Aware that the tour will begin in the morning (they picked us up at 8am), we chatted a little in Pdik and Juan's room, prepare the things we were going to bring on Phiphi Trip and went to sleep before 12. The next morning was a great day. I was the first who woke up that morning among the boys. We put an alarm on 7am, however, the girls were trying to call our room at around 6.30. It was all because they set a wrong alarm -_-" We eat our breakfast: Thai instant noodles ^^ and I distributed the seasick tablet bought the day before. The seasick tablet should be taken 1 hour before the trip.

Ready to go with our things, we go to the lobby. The van has waited for around 10 minutes. we shared this van with 4 other. The van took us to Chalong Bay, an area not so far away from kata (20 minutes drive) on the way, we picked a couple of western and a couple of asian that turns out to be Indonesian =) (Luckily we didn't talk something bad about them :p )

Arrived at Chalong Bay, we were briefed by the tour guide and given sticker with the boat and van numbers on it. We hurried put on our sun block since the sun were really hot that day. It was a great day for island hopping, especially when we were talking about wet season. I was worry about the weather since Phuket was on its wettest season that month. Thx God there was a clear great sky that day. I go to a stall to buy fish bread, a bread that used to feed fish. We bought 4 loaves of bread for 100 Baht (CMIIW), then set to the boat. Pdik and Juan forgot to bring their towel, so they bought the towel there. Before going inside the speed boat, there were many cameraman trying to take a picture for us. The boat were already full by the time we were there, luckily there were some seat (although not a good place - just outside the toilet). We sat and the speedboat started to move. The first destination: Maya bay.

It was long and quite tiring trip (1 hour ++). But we can tell that the seasick tablet worked like a miracle. None of us got seasick. I felt bored and go out to the deck, look at the scenery and talk with other tourists. Suddenly, we were approaching some sort of cliff. The water was light blue. I called the other to check it out. By the time we got nearer, we could see the beach hidden between those cliffs. As we got nearer, we were passing two big cliffs as if it was the main gate to the beach. It was really hard to picture those scenery with words. Even the picture we took there, although it was beautiful, believe me, it was far from what we really see. We were dropped there and warned not to wear our slipper since the current on the beach were strong.

We got down, take a picture on a natural white sands and beautiful blue sea. It was great, but it would be a lot better if we could get there earlier, before all the tourists was there (we will surely do that on our next visit). We decided not to bring the camcorder down and only bring the camera.

After a few picture on the beach, we decided to move to the side of the beach which shaded by the cliff. We took several pictures there. On this side, the waves were bigger. A big wave came and we were all wet, while we were laughing, Fenny was busy looking for something in the sea. It was Pdik sunglasses. The wave were accidentally take Pdik's sunglasses away. We were panicked and started to help Fenny find it. It was really hard, because, although the water were crystal clear, but the wave were really not friendly. After 10 minutes of search suddenly Pdik screamed. He found it!!!!

Not long after Pdik found his sunglasses, he other big wave struck us. This time it was Juan. He was really panicked, because it was not sunglasses. It was his glasses. Without his glasses, he couldn't see things and this whole day tour would be a waste. We started to look for another glasses in that unfriendly wavy beach. Again, after sometimes, Pdik found it!!!! Well, I guess he really is a Beach Boy LOL!!!!

Juan complained that he was raped by the wave =D Why? Because he forgot to tie his pants, and when the wave struck, he was trying to hold his pant and unable to try to hold the glasses. LOL. What a day!!! 2 glasses at the same spot, retrieved by the same man!!!! LOL....Done with those glasses, we continued to enjoy the scenery, then the whistle blown in our boat. we get back to the boat and continue our journey.
