THE BEACH!!!!!! 

It was a dream come true to be able to visit this Paradise. Though it was really crowded, still it was beautiful. The pristine waters and long stretch of white sand welcomed tourists from all around the world.

Hi everybody!!! 'Twas a pleasure sharing this speedboat with all of you.

Postcard-ish pose by the hubby.

Let's hit the water!

To enjoy the islands, tourists have the option to go for the speed boat or the not-so-speedy boat as you can see here. The slower one could take you maybe twice the time to go around the islands but it is also more private as you can take control of your time in each stop.

Here's our short trip to Monkey island. Always be careful and listen to your guide's instructions.

From one enchanting island to the next!

This was were we laid down on the colorful beach chairs and enjoyed some fruit shakes. 

We also did some snorkeling.

While I was afloat on the water, I looked up and saw this...heavenly.

Apparently this is where they collect the bird's nest for that famous soup.

Pretty much sums up our whole island hopping experience! Haha! Til then!

Relaxing All Day Long in Patong, Phuket

It was such a pleasure to be able to visit this world famous resort town of Patong.

From the colorful accommodations to the exciting tour packages- we just can't wait to get started.

And what better way to start off our honeymoon than to head straight to the beach!

Roads leading to the beach are lined with souvenir shops and restaurants.

We grabbed some ice cream to cool down after walking under the scorching afternoon sun.

Hello everyone!

It's great to be here! Finally! 

Someone is very thrilled to start our people watching sesh at the beach.

 This is a long stretch of white sand beach.

honeymooning :D

Of course..we couldn't afford to miss Phuket's lovely sunset.

<3

 The sun's out, it's time to welcome the night life. Where else? but...

 Bangla Road

 All the pubs have opened with loud party music ready to lure everyone.

 We did get to see the lady boy show later that night but we can't show it here.

 You all should go and see them yourselves haha ;-P
Next up: Ko Phi Phi and Maya Bay in Krabi

Of Elephants, Boat Rides and Thai Food

Years back, we watched a TV show that featured the wonderful tourist attractions in Bangkok. We were both enticed and we promised each other that one day we'll go there. We kept that promise and we made it here! We're so excited!!!!!

We started off in the elephant village where we get to enjoy a few minutes riding an elephant.

Yes. It was a BEAUTIFUL day!

The whole village was packed with tourists and we all had to wait for our turn. But we didn't really mind.

This guy right here was just outside inviting tourists to take a picture with the elephant (for a tip).

You can also feed these gentle creatures with bananas after their hard work.

'til then! To the floating market we go..

We might've expected a little more from this place but still we enjoyed the ride.
A quick pose with this lady who was in charge of the ticketing. She also sells souvenir items such as a plate with your faces on it (hmmmm).
After we got our tickets, we hopped on our boat and hope for an enjoyable ride.

It was quite a hot day, good thing rainbow umbrellas were installed on the boat.

It wasn't an organized traffic though but it was indeed a real floating market.

Atis (custard apple) !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Drool!!!!!!!!!!!

What's in that pot of yours Mr. Thai?

This is as real as it can get. Very hot, very noisy and yes very crowded. But it was fun!

A whole day's tour made us tired and hungry. So we headed to the famous Khao San Road to experience the real deal and here's what we found:

Thai food is <3!
