James Bond Island Tour, Phuket.

Back to our ten days trip to Phuket last November.
One of the many islands hopping tour we took, the James Bond Island Tour (Phang Nga Bay).
The tour basically took us to a sightseeing day of visiting James Bond Island, Hong Island, Koh Pan Yee (a village that built on water) for lunch and canoeing at Koh Talu.

Before stepping our foot onto our speedboat, guide took us to a quick tour to fruit & elephant farm that included in the programme we booked. Well, its funny how I hafta go with the rest of the tourist to see, feel & touch durian, rambutan, mango and etc when I have them in the garden back at hometown. :|

Most of the Thai are extremely good with their hand craft skills. Not to mention the towels and blanket in hotel were beautifully fold everyday, I got this little necklace from the staff while we were touring with elephant. :)

After some opening laughter in the morning, off we go to the sea!
Instead of hiding inside the speedboat along the journey, we were seated on the deck to keep our eyes satisfied by the spectacular scenery laying in front of us.

Am I the only one who find this look odd?

Acting as we were the man. =D>

Acting as a lunch stop for most of the tours to Phang Nga bay, there were quite a number of restaurants that serve seafood and Thai cuisine, of course. We had our late lunch there and were told we are close to the end of the tour.

Next spot goes to Talu islands where you will be seated in the canoe propelled by the most friendly staff ever, to go around the island to catch the amazing view of natural sea caves. Wonderful!

I actually thought we will be the one who canoeing but our guide was right, we can barely move it right. Of course the stubbornness within me doesn't allowed me to go without trying. I tried and it moved! But I figured it might takes me 3hours for a 45 minutes work, I gave up.

You'll run into a 'cafe on boat' and have some drinks if you need. Hot sun kills.
