[Phuket
Island, Thailand:
Part II -
August 2004]
Elephant rides..
Riding away..
How many pineapples are too many?
Dried seafood wrapped in bags to
go..
Steamed crabs fastfood Phuket style..
More crabs.. from a distance it
looked too weird I thought they
were grilled chickens! =P lool
Phuket Jashe3.. =P
1 kg = 35Bhat
Peanuts anyone..?
Pepsi & Lipton Ice-tea.. Thai
version!
Fresh home-made coconut ice-cream
Lonely..
Ready to board the boat heading to
James Bond Island
(Its called that way coz that was
where one of James Bond's movies:
The Man with the Golden Gun was filmed, & ever since the Thai
took advantage of that & turned it
into an tourist attraction) =P
On standby..
The sky was getting gloomy..
Looking back..
Then it started raining heavily..
Stopping by an Island on the
way..
Parking lot.. =P
Thai-style fridge.. this is where
fish, shrimps & lobsters are kept to keep
them fresh for cooking anytime..
Lobster say your goodbyes..
before you are served for lunch..
At a distance.. a man swims
The Island Mall.. =P
A masjid on the island!
An inside look at the island
village..
A favorite pet choice: Cats.. ~purrr..
These kids were so friendly &
escorted me the whole time I was on their Island..
They gave me a little tour around,
holding my hands & talking to me
They certainly loved having their
pix taken.. =)
Even on a floating island.. they
still have internet!
All the houses were kind of
floating around..
At the end of the way..
More fishing 'fridges'..
Time to leave..
A last look before we ride away..
Rocky islands all the way back..
Heading the way..
Leaving the boat behind to have a
heavy shower..
Phuket school kids performing in the
mall..
McDonalds.. Thai-version.. =P
Our hotel's lobby.. Sheraton
Grande Laguna
Going down..?
Standing high..
On the roof of our villa..
Looking down..
Canoeing away..
Flowers by the pool..
A closer look..
Taking a break..
Overlooking the Laguna..
A peaceful horizon..
Driving inside..
This is usually found
everywhere.. They pray around it & put all
sorts of 'presents' for
blessings..
A romantic service: one boat, one
live cook, one musician & a table for two.. ;)
Sailing by..
Finally in the airport.. a glimpse
before we depart.. ;P
