Islands near AoNang

2014 January, The Long Trip - Thailand, snorkeling

The last day I was snorkeling near AoNang. Once more I went with divers. That time the trip cost me 500 THB (11.25e) and it started at 8:30 am. We visited 3 places and the last one was the shark point. It was quite funny as we were looking for a blacktip shark. Generally, when you hear anything about shark you try to find your way out of the water but we were searching and looking for him. We found one but he was too far to take a picture. I hope to have a chance to do it in a different place. In the water was a lot of jelly fish, clams and many kind of fish.
On the way back I was standing on a pickup.

Phi Phi Islands

2014 January, The Long Trip - Thailand, Phi Phi

I booked a snorkeling trip to Phi Phi islands. I did it with one diving company as they should visit better spots than a normal trip. I paid directly 1,000.00 THB (22.20e). The trip started from AoNang. The way was quite long and it took us almost 2 hours to get there but it was worth it. I met a nice couple from Russia and I managed to swim just above diving guys. It was fun when the oxygen bubbles were going up neary. I saw some amazing star fish, parrot fish and many more. We also had a lunch on the boat, snacks and drinks.
