[Travel Notes] Thailand - Day.5 Island hopping in the rain

Going island hopping today! The so-called island hopping means signing up for a tour group and taking you to dive near different islands! Note that it is nearby, not on the island at all...

There are many routes to choose from. Our route is Meeru Island-Big and Small Pippi-Bamboo Island. The guide said that you can see dolphins near Meeru Island. The water quality and beach of Bamboo Island are very good, so I chose this route... Phi Phi Island, I have been there three times. Oh my god...

Today is another rainy day... After breakfast, a car picked us up at the hotel door at 7:30 and went to the check-in point to gather us. Then we recognized the tour guide, counted the number of people, handed out bracelets, and went to the pier to take the boat. The first thing we went to was Meeru Island.

Lover's Beach, also known as Maya Bay, is located on the west coast of the small Pp Island. It is surrounded by mountains on three sides and embraces a snow-white beach in the middle. It was originally unknown, but later became famous because the movie "The Beach" starring Leonardo was filmed here. . However, due to environmental protection reasons, the island has been closed since last year until 2021.

When we first came to Thailand, we went to Lover's Beach, but we didn't have any memories...

In addition to the fine sandy beach, Lover's Beach is also surrounded by beautiful mountains.

It didn’t take long for the sudden change in weather to become a bit cloudy again, and the visibility on the bottom of the sea was not particularly high, but there were more fish here, and I felt like I had been bitten several times! I didn’t dive for long before I ran onto the boat.

Seeing that it was almost lunch time, the tour guide said to hurry up and go to the next diving spot - near Xiaopp Island, and then go to Big pp Island for lunch.

Because of the rainy season, the weather at sea has changed from cloudy to dark clouds, and low clouds can be seen raining not far away. Without the blue sky and sunlight, the seaside appears a deep dark blue, which makes people feel solemn but also a little mysterious.

Rainy areas passed through during the trip

The cold icy rain patted my face randomly

I was sitting on the pass facing the wind. As the weather changed, the wind became stronger and stronger, and later it started to rain... We were freezing as a dog.

Bamboo Island, also known as Ko Phae, is an outlying island in the north of Phi Phi Island. Because there are bamboos on the island, everyone is accustomed to calling it Bamboo Island. It is very close to Langtong Bay in the north of Phi Phi Island. The forest area on the island is undeveloped. The entire island maintains its original style and the buildings are all wooden.

Look at the pictures on Baidu Encyclopedia, it’s good if the weather is sunny

We had seen this restaurant when we went out at night when we first came to Kata. The business was quite good. There was a restaurant inside and an open bar outside. Foreigners gathered around the bar to chat and listen to music.

I really like the name of this restaurant, Kata on Fire. It feels like the mood of yesterday’s sunset. Judging from Dianping’s ratings, it’s pretty high, so we’re going to have dinner there today.

In fact, it is a bit inconvenient for two people to eat. We both want to eat but we can’t order too much.

The dipping sauce for the grilled fish is green, sour and spicy, especially refreshing.

The dishes can also be said to be the style of Southeast Asian islands, with bright colors and sweet and sour tastes...which satisfy the senses and taste at the same time.
