Koh (Lanta+PhuPhi) & Phuket Part 1

I might just love Thailand!

Kicked off Feb15 in Phuket/Koh Lanta/Koh PhiPhi!! Like how life there is not as crazy and hectic in SG. Isn't just me, or... that I kinda like having that relaxed feeling that the airport has before leaving SG... Met in the wee hours and settled for breakfast before taking offffff~

Technically didnt stay at Phuket at all. Flew to Phuket and immediately went on a ferry to Koh Lanta. Travelling to the islands were a slight hassle I would say...nevertheless... am still captivated by the vast vast vast M.O.S (MountainOceanSun) haha.

With the help of the locals, managed to make our way to Long Beach. Caught a glimpse of the sunset and continued swaying pass the soft sand and observing the all time summer~ before we settled for dinner near the beach. So romantic. hehe. 

Everything seems so tropical. and every meal had to be a fresh coconut juice, else my 2nd option was carefully watermelon juice only. haha. so much for wanting to try new things..

Lanta was pretty laidback I would say.. Much more spacious and it seemed like time stopped for a while. Trust me to say that we were prolly the only Asian tourist there. Didnt have much of an itinerary when we were there. Checked into our lodging and started to search whats the "top must do!" in Lanta, and also recommended by the staff to go Koh Rok. 

Koh Rok

On the way to Koh Rok, we were prolly still in sleep mode when the staff picked us up and officially got awaken by the vast amount of wind from every direction when we got on the lorry!! So much for trying to look neat on the right.

The wind.. was prolly THE WIN for our shots turning out effortlessly artistic. haha.

Spent the next day at Koh Rok and it was so so so chiooooooooo! Snorkelled twice and that was the first ever time I tried snorkelling. Pretty amazed by how the underwater world looks so much different from the everyday daylight that we see. Fishes and fishes... colorful fishes everywhere. Corals and corals...hugeass corals everywhere.

Ferry dropped us off on the island itself and we did some self explorations. Walked along the beach and made friends with the angry waves of Koh Rok. haha. So much for getting momentarily slapped by waves. 

Much love for the deep blue sea and tropical land...

The whole day tour ended and we took an hour stroll to the nearest and also the closest street food galore we chanced upon whilst the lorry brought us back after the island tour. Yes, an hour was the closest.

The street food was pretty legit. Visited this tent twice cos at least I know what im gna eat here. Those ferociously red meat at that corner were seriously that red and super yummy too! Gave up trying this bowl of Meesua looking noodles after one mouth of the sause/soup and some fried beehoon which in my opinion, had a taste of lemon/lime which is weird., still not so adventurous after all.. haha.

Then, took a super slowwwwww long walk back again. We literally walked till sunset and moon rise.
So therapeutic to walk aimlessly sometimes, and stop by at random mama shops to try out ice creams that Singapore doesnt have. Talk about being kids all over again... haha.

& next day, we were ready and set for Phiphi!!~
