| Summary | Annual event diving around the Andaman Sea in winter. I planed to stay
in the Phi Phi Don Island at first. I booked the air tickets and the hotel in the Phi Phi Don Island. And then I tried to find a dive center in the island, but I was not able to find a dive certer goes the Shark Point. Almost of all dive centers in the island seemed to hold dive course and introductory diving mainly. I changed to stay from in the Phi Phi Island to in Patong, and decide to go diving in Marin Park and Racha Noi Yai. |
||
| Itinerary | I use the Singapore Airline not only Indonasia but also Phuket these days. Diving 3days and sight seein in the Phuket Island one day. I booked the air tickets considering to stay in the Phi Phi Island, I had extra one day. I am going to decide to do in the day afterward. |
||
| To Patong |
I departed the Kansai Airport at mid night, and transfered at the Changi
Airport two hours later. Heading the hotel by shared van for THB 180. I got to the hotel before 12:00, for the reasons of smooth immgration at the airport and last person in the min van. Unfortunately I was not able to check in the hotel until 14:00, I tried to kill time at the Jungceylon near by. |

it since end of the COVIT-19. They have two boats for day trip, MV Mandarin Queen 5 max about 70 guests and MV Mandarin Quee 9 max about 100 guests. Almost full due to Chinese New Year period.。 |
|||
| I am going to choose Phi Phi Shark or Racha Noi Yai on third day after ending first day diving at Racha Noi Yai. |
| 1st day | I use to go Racha Noi Yai several times before. I went there only one time in 7 year ago for the last decade |
||
|
| 2nd day | Big school of yellow fish as usual at Bida Nok. Not clear and blue, bad visibility at Shark Point, so I was lost, exited with another group. |
||
|
| 3rd day | In addition big school of yellow fish, another big school of fish at Bida
Nok. Somewhat better than yesterday at Shark Point. We were able to see big school of Moorish idol I have seen there only once until then. |
||
|
|
| Tour | I participated in the tour held by mini van I had booked beforehand. Itinerary: Karon View Point, Big Buddha, Wat Chalong, Old Town, Rang Hill View Point and Chillva Market. We didn't visit Big Buddha since it was closed. |
||
|
| One mor day |
I chose to visit the Phuket Bird Park on the day of one more left. I guessed it cost to get there more than THB 500 by taxi or Tuktuk. I decided to go to the Phuket Town by a songthaew, and get a motorbike taxi to there. |
||
|
| Back home | I got on the Smart Bus boud for the airport at 6 AM, ample time for the
flight after 10 AM and before getting hot. The bus arrived the domestic terminal, not went to the international terminal. |
||
| Thought afterward | I spent almost half a day, it means pick up time was 7AM and drop off time
was around 7PM. Order of drop off in Patong is starting from north part to south, as the main street is one way. If I chose the hotel in Kata or Karon, 20 or 30 minites later AM and more than 1 hour earlier PM. |
