We spent the day on the ocean as we took a trek out on a speed boat (fast and bumpy) from Phuket that took us out about an hour out into the ocean (East) to a group of islands called Phi Phi - Phi Phi Don and Phi Phi Ley (non-populated - where the movie The Beach was filmed). Our boat driver took us to about 4 different beach areas, and we even had lunch on one of the islands.
We swam at a couple of places, stopped for the views at a few different coves, and we went snorkeling at two different reefs off the islands were we saw a ton of coral and fish - a lot of giant clams that would suck in when we swam by. Before heading in we also stopped at a tiny private island called Khai that was half tropical mound and half beach (finest y
ou could think of) with nothing but 360 of ocean. Then we headed back to the Hilton at Phuket wh
ere we stayed at the resort for a buffet dinner that included all you can eat shrimp and lobster (Shawn, you would be proud - 3-plater plus 2-dessert platter!) among what seemed like 50 other dishes. Well, no words will describe it better then the pictures so here they are (sand, sun, moutains rising 90 degrees out of water, tropical forest, boat).
