Destination : Phuket - part 1

For my recent short vacation mentioned before, here is the entry.
I was at Phuket for the first time, and for sure, it won't be the last.

The island is 1 hour's flight away from Penang.

We took the 'budget' airlines, Firefly. I must say, it was quite a flight. Not just because I get to 're-live-the-feeling' of flying in a Fokker50, but also experiencing the thrill of whirring propellers churning out 2500hp each.

On the 2nd day, we took the tour to Phi Phi Island. Unfortunately, the weather in the morning was on the cloudy side, which in turn made photography rather dull.

Maya Bay. If we swam to the shore of this beach, we will be fined 500bath >.<

Water here is crystal clear, on par with our very own Pulau Redang. although I would think Redang's water is clearer.

The diffrence is, the waters here is surrounded by limestone hills which provides breathtaking views.
