You think that 20 17 is actually halfway through the beginning, and time always slips away little by little in ordinary days, which is terrible. Life has not changed much. My days are still working, eating and sleeping, and what supports me to persist is still the unknown distance.
I bought a plane ticket two months before I planned my trip. By chance, I saw a special ticket that I was concerned about. Wechat official account pushes the promotion information of Scoot. I don't know which island to choose. After reading the promotion ticket, I thought that the ticket to Phuket was very cost-effective and the time was ok, so I decided to go to Phuket. On the last night of the promotion, I bought a round-trip ticket from Guangzhou to Singapore to Phuket during the Qingming holiday. One person's package is about 1500 RMB, and the airasia ticket for the same period also sells for 2000 RMB. Relatively speaking, Scoot is very cost-effective.
Scoot Airlines Tiger Airways I want to explain Scoot Airlines here. I first met this airline because of its young official website homepage design (occupational disease of designers). Scoot is a low-cost airline under Singapore Airlines, a five-star alliance. Therefore, it is called a low-cost airline. Although the air ticket is very cheap, it is not too cheap if you add seat selection, luggage consignment, meals, cool delivery service and other items. Our round-trip air ticket is about 1200 RMB, plus the 200 RMB cool transfer service and the cost of choosing a seat and sitting with friends is about 1500 RMB. Cool transfer service means that when transferring in Singapore, you can transfer directly in Singapore without leaving the country. If you don't buy the cooltransfer service, you must apply for a Singapore visa before you can transfer money. No matter whether you buy a connecting flight ticket or not, no matter how long you stay at the airport, it means that the cooltransfer service is a must-buy item for you to take a connecting flight with Scoot or Tiger Airways in Singapore. Regarding the check-in of luggage, we didn't buy a check-in baggage ticket. According to the regulations of Scoot, you can only carry 7kg of carry-on baggage and one handbag * * *10kg. I read a lot before leaving, saying that checking the weight of luggage is very strict, so we gave up a lot of things to make the weight of luggage qualified, but in fact, it was not checked all the way. Maybe it depends on the place.

DAY 1 Go home from work, take a shower and set off for the airport. The plane at 4 am sleeps in the sleeping area of Baiyun Airport and boards. On the day of departure, I was in poor health. My tonsils are severely inflamed during my period, and my whole throat is on fire. It is difficult to swallow and speak. I don't have any anti-inflammatory drugs or medicine for my throat. Without a doctor's certificate, you can't buy anti-inflammatory drugs at Singapore airport. That was the first time I felt how painful it was to travel, but think about it, everything will be fine. The first flight was a large plane of Scoot, with fashionable appearance and clean interior. Arrived at Singapore Changi Airport after four o'clock in the morning, and the next flight was a small plane of Tiger Airways. I had a bad impression on Tiger Airways for the first time. Although it is a low-cost airline, the plane is incredibly old, the seat is too small, and even the skin on the chair has fallen off. Although I don't hate being worn out, it will make people feel insecure.
Arriving at Phuket Airport at noon 1 Thailand time, the driver waiting at the airport gate was booked by Taobao Maiyou. Brother driver is a teenager. It took about 1 hour to reach Karen Beach, check into the hotel and finally settle down. I really feel that I have traveled a long way with my illness, but fortunately there are people around me who can take care of me.
At dusk, stroll on the beach, opposite the hotel is the seaside. Karen beach is basically full of foreigners playing in the water. Super cute dolls play happily in the water by themselves. Occasionally, they will see some people from China come to take photos and then leave. It began to get dark and it rained heavily.
DAY2 gets up at 5: 30 in the morning to check out and wait for the driver to pick up the dock. Before dawn, I saw stars all over the sky. It takes about 2 hours to reach the Langhuajia Wharf. Well, it's a rural pier, which should be close to Panyafu. There are some porridge and toast for breakfast. Boarding after breakfast, the boatman soared. It takes about 1 hour to reach Similan Island 8.
Finally, I saw the sea in Similan. The weather is really sunny and blue. It's past 1 1 when we arrived in Similan, so we went directly to Island 8 to have lunch first. Island 8, which is an island with windsurfing stones, is also an island with many people. People from all groups on the island are having lunch, and the sanitary condition on the island is worrying, and the speed of cleaning can't keep up with the speed of garbage generation. It takes half an hour to have lunch and climb the windstone, so you can only rush by and take some photos before you come down.
The first snorkeling was near Island 8. I tried snorkeling for the first time in my life because I had underwater phobia and even wanted to give up the snorkeling part. Later, I jumped into the sea. I don't know how to use a snorkeling mask and choke a few mouthfuls of seawater. It's too salty. I want to throw up. At that moment, I was directly deceived. I saw the underwater world for the first time. It's like you're floating in the air and looking at the ground. This is wonderful and magical. Those who can't swim grab the floating board and be dragged away by Xiaohei. Xiaohei sneaked down and picked up a starfish for us to see. After taking the photo, he put it back on the bottom of the sea. The first snorkeling is about 20 minutes. Go to the next place to continue snorkeling. This time, I'm not as flustered as I was the first time.
After two snorkeling, the passengers who signed up for the two-day tour will board the ship and we will stay here for the night. Princess, the private ship of the waves, is not as new as official website's photos, but it still has a warm feeling. What impressed me most was that the crew were very good. We booked a deluxe big bed room, which is very small and has a big window, so we can lie on the bed and watch the sea view. There are also hot water and toilets in the toilet, but the sheets must not be changed. You can bring your own sleeping bag if you mind. After we go back to our room to clean up, the crew will take us snorkeling for the third time. The place where the crew took us snorkeling this time is more beautiful than the previous two times, and there is enough time to slowly enjoy the beautiful scenery of the seabed. The visibility of the sea in Similan is very high. There are many large corals and some fish schools on the seabed, probably because the weather was not very good that day, and the effect was a little poor.
Watching the sea while pulling the stink, I wonder if my stink is discharged into the sea to feed the fish.
After I came back from snorkeling, I went back to my room to take a hot bath and have a rest. At about 6 o'clock, I felt the boat moving in my room. It turned out that the captain was going to take us to another place to watch the sunset. Climb to the top deck of the ship and sit in a chair waiting for the sunset at sea. The first time I experienced watching the sunset on the boat, surrounded by the sea and the whole sky, I spread out on the couch and watched the sunset slowly setting, staining one cloud after another. The sunset glow covered the deck, which was really beautiful.
The days on the boat are dull. One minute you're wearing makeup, and the next you jump into the sea to wash it. Ha ha ha ha.
Go downstairs to eat after watching the sunset. It's almost like lunch, but there is enough time to eat slowly while blowing the sea breeze. After dinner, China's boat guide opened a KTV on the deck. Hahaha, I was too tired to attend, so I went back to my room to rest. The sound insulation of the ship's room is really not very good Above our room are the deck aisle and the crew lounge, so we can hear clear footsteps late and early.
At about 6 o'clock in the morning on the third day, the ship began to drive to a place to wait for the sunrise, and ships from other shipping companies also drove here. I have seen the sunrise and sunset on the sea many times, but this is the first time to watch it in the middle of the sea. Today's clouds are a little thick, and we can't see the moment when the sun rises from the sea level. When it rises to a place where there is no cloud cover, brilliant light appears, and the whole sea is sparkling and shining like a star. Every sunrise at sea can give me a different feeling.
After watching the sunrise, you can start eating breakfast. The breakfast served on the boat is the same as when the waves leave the dock. The sky began to brighten and the sea became bluer and bluer. Today's weather is particularly good. It's really comfortable to sit in an open-air restaurant in the warm sunshine, eating watermelons and watching the sea. ......
After dinner in the morning, we began to board the No.4 island in Similan. Awei, the captain of the speedboat, and his crew took us to Island 4. The tourists who have been traveling for a day after 7 o'clock have not come yet. Except for a few tourists camping on the island, we were the first tourists to land on the island. Yesterday, the island on the 8th was full of people. Today's Island 4 is a paradise.
The weather is so good that the sea water turns dark blue, just like pouring a big bucket of blue ink.
This should be the pirate ship of the lazy cat family.
A foreign boy camping on the island is too excited to touch the caterpillar in the tree. Let's go there and have a look. Who knows that he suddenly ran back to call an island worker and said that his hand itches when he touches a bug ... hahahaha.
Who says you can't wear a bikini with a flat chest? I'll wear it. Ha ha ha ha, dare to laugh at my curse!
We walked from the waiting beach through a forest to the other side of the island. Wow! Really beautiful! The beach is soft and clean, and the sea is clear and transparent, just like tap water. This is the clearest sea water I have ever seen! It feels like Maldives ~ you can see many small fish even in shallow water by playing various beats in the water!
Be strong, it hurts when the sun shines on my eyes.
The sea is super comfortable and super fun.
At this time, the guests who traveled together began to land on the island.
Transparent seawater
After 40 minutes, the speedboat came to take us back to the Princess, and then we prepared the crew to take us snorkeling for the fourth time. The weather is fine today, and the visibility of snorkeling is much better than yesterday. I saw many small fish and various coral reefs, which was super satisfying! There are diving events on board, and it seems to be 600 RMB twice. There is a resident diving instructor and the only China crew on board. I really think the crew on the Princess is honest and kind. When we snorkel on the speedboat, we need the crew to pull us up. When a heavy girl was pulled up, she sat on a crew uncle's calf, and I felt pain on the spot, but the crew uncle didn't show exaggeration and silently endured it. There is also a little girl under the age of 10 on the Princess, who should be the daughter of one of the cast uncles. I like both of them best. The little girl will help me dilute the water when I come back from snorkeling. The little girl's father will be very careful to leave food for the deep diving guests who come back late. He will carefully find and solve our doubts when we are confused, and will try his best to drag us to more places to see when snorkeling. I don't know the salary of these crew members, and we don't tip much. When I left, I wanted to give 100 pig tip to the little girl and her father alone, but I didn't find a good opportunity to regret not giving it. I hope that the bee friends who participated in the 2-day surfing trip will help me complete this little regret. Although money can't represent anything, it can at least represent affirmation and gratitude.
After snorkeling, it's time to take a picture on the boat. At this time, the guests of the one-day tour of the spray group have not yet boarded the boat for lunch, so take their seats first. After lunch, the rest of the time is waiting for the ship to pick us up and leave the princess.
Found a big bird
Discover big fish
After lunch, we packed up and checked out, and the rest of the time was staring blankly on the boat and taking pictures everywhere. At about 2 o'clock, the boat came to pick us up, and the new two-day tourists got on board. After boarding the speedboat, we went to Island 4. We didn't land on the island, but stayed on the speedboat to rest. At this time, Island 4 is full of people, and it doesn't feel like two islands in the morning. Therefore, it is suggested that Smilan take a two-day tour, which will give him plenty of time to land on the island without any tourists.
Su Yan is so haggard that she doesn't want to show up.
It was another two-hour speedboat ride and it rained heavily on the way. The speedboat doesn't even have a windshield at the bow. Blackie climbed to the bow with a floating board to block it, but Blackie got wet outside the boat ~ The waves were so big that I got seasick and slept all the way back. Back to the dock, it took two hours to get back to Karen by car. It's really super tossing, but it's worth it ~
I went back to the hotel where I left my luggage and stayed. I changed to another Thai room this time and liked it. Have a rest, and then go downstairs to eat. Most hotels in Phuket actually have Alipay WeChat public comments. For China people, I think our public comments are more valuable than owls.
DAY4 slept until today, woke up naturally, packed my luggage and changed hotels.
The arrangement for the fifth day today is a one-day tour of Rock Island by the starfish family. At 6 o'clock in the morning, we went downstairs and waited for the driver to pick us up to the dock. It takes about an hour to get to the Royal Pier of seastar's home in Phuket. The pier is in a similar five-star hotel, and the environment is nothing compared with the surfer's pier. One city and one township. I was asked to emphasize the contrast between the two because she couldn't accept it. There are many luxurious catamarans docked at this dock. Think about how cool it is to rent a catamaran like this. Sea's service is really good, and it is worthy of being an old shipping company. Since boarding the boat, it has been feeding you food, watermelon, biscuits, big breasts, ice cream and soda! Eat all the way to the rock island! Iwashima, like Milan, took a speedboat for two hours. My first impression was: Wow, it's beautiful, with few people and beautiful scenery. It feels more like a paradise than Milan. The seawater of Rock Island is blue-green, but the seawater will be clearer and the sand will be finer than that of Milan Island 4. Rock island is not big. Everyone concentrates on the activities in the middle of the beach. When you walk to the left of the beach, there is basically no one here. Moreover, this part of the sea is very shallow and wide. When you go far into the sea, the sea is only knee deep. Sitting in the sea is like sitting in an endless swimming pool. In front of you, there is a sea of Wang Yang.

After lunch in Rock Island, I set off for snorkeling nearby. Locke's underwater world is a little richer than Milan's, and the height from the bottom of the sea is also shorter, so I can see it more clearly. There are many blue starfish, sea cucumbers and clown fish here. I snorkelled in Phuket several times, thinking that I could put down my floating board and dive freely. Who knows I'm still paddling hard, and I'll never forget a mouthful of seawater. The second snorkeling to the other side of Locke, the weather is good and the visibility is high. The bottom of the sea is particularly beautiful. The last snorkeling was Egg Island, half an hour's boat ride from Locke. It's a bit like Panya Bay. Finally, I saw the mountains standing on the sea. Here are basically foreign groups, leisurely diving ~
Take a candid photo of a foreign girl standing in the middle of the sea ~
The water here is green, just like pouring a big bottle of green ink.
It began to get dark, and it rained heavily on the way back. I was so tired that I slept all the way back.
On the 6th day, the main trip of Phuket basically ended. Wake up naturally in the morning and walk on Karen Beach. The weather is particularly good. Little friends play paragliding and fly around the beach, 200 RMB. I'm afraid I won't try and let my little friends play by themselves.
After lunch, I packed my bags and took a taxi in Badong. In Phuket, taxi tugs seem to be bargaining collectively. I sent some Karen to Badong to buy 400 pigs at 80 RMB. A tugboat driver secretly compared us to the gesture of 300 pigs. Let's leave now.
It takes about 20 minutes to reach our last and most expensive hotel. I like the pillows on their hotel chairs and the chicken in their room. It seems to be the mascot of a brand of latex pillow. I want to take it home. I asked the front desk of the hotel and asked for more than RMB 100. It was too expensive for me to go, so I finally had to give up ~
In Padang, I ate the best restaurant in Phuket for so many days. It's called Thai restaurant. The address is hard to find, in an alley. It's delicious. I feel like I'm taking a shit the other day (expensive and not delicious) It's a pity that the mobile phone was emptied and all the photos taken were gone ... sad, you can try it if you have the opportunity to recommend it.
The plane at 7 pm is still booked to pick us up, and it seems that the same little brother will pick us up, hahaha. Arrive at Singapore airport in 2 hours, have a meal of bak Kut teh, then find a place to sleep at the airport, and then transfer back to Guangzhou. To go to a good place at night, you can only find a floor to lie down. The air conditioner in Singapore airport is really cold. If you want to sleep at the airport, remember to take a thick coat.

I finished a trip and finished the list of travel places. Love yourself and live a good life.
Where to go next?
