Phuket Day 3: Phi Phi Island

We planned to wake up earlier on Day 3 to watch sunrise before bidding goodbye to Patong Beach. However, we failed. When we open our eyes, the sun had already rise.
But we still take a stroll along Patong beach :)
Bangla road in the morning.

We had McD as breakfast and brought back the coffee to the top floor of our hotel and enjoy it.
As mentioned earlier, we booked the 2 way transfer to Phi Phi Island which inclusive of return ferry ticket from that con tour agency. We waited and waited but the driver didn't show up. Starting to feel panic, we call the tour agency and they gave excuses that the car broke down and they are arranging another transporter to come and fetch us. Luckily in the end they arrive although they are late by 30 minute! And instead of pick up using private Camry, a minivan sardined with other passengers come and get us.
We then took a long ferry ride to Phi Phi Island.
Arriving Phi Phi Island.
We booked Dee Dee beach house which cost RM100/ room/ night. No pick up service, so we dragged our luggage to the guest house. A very hot and shiny day which makes us feel dizzy. The location of Dee Dee Beach house is not strategic. Located at the other end of the island, we had to drag our luggage very far. I was a bit uncomfortable when I arrive the guest house to found out that the tsunami memorial park was located right in front of the guest house. Anyhow, the good news is that due to our standard room was under construction, we were been upgraded to the most expensive chalet available at Dee Dee house, for the price of the standard room.  :)
 After settle down, we head out for lunch.
We had our lunch at Garlic restaurant. The price was reasonable. We ordered thai salad.
Pineapple fried rice. Duh, I was expecting fried rice in pineapple but they are serving plain pineapple fried rice instead. This plate of rice is so tasteless.
Grilled Sotong! Yum Yum!!
Pad Thai in tomato sauce. Total bill inclusive of drinks come up to THB760.
After lunch, we walk around Phi Phi Island.

And back to our guest house waiting for sunset.


After the sun had set, we walk along the beach looking for dinner.

We had our simple dinner at the stalls on the beach.
Banana pancake. I don't really heart this. Nothing special.
Grill corn. Very dry and hard.
Oh.. I couldn't recall the name.

After dinner, we went to 7-11 and bought some beers and drinks and continue sitting and drinking on the beach until we feel tired and call it a day.
