Phuket Holiday - Part 4

So begins la another day in Phuket. FYI, sini subuh diaorg sejam awal and so was their sunset. A clear and bright day tuk kami g masuk hutan main water rafting. HEheh. For breakfast, we didn't take any from the hotel but i brought lotsa campbell soup from KL. A great food tuk bawak luar negara coz mengenyangkan and simple. No added MSG gik mcm megi. I like!

So kami g lobi hotel seperti yang dijanjikan pickup tuk bawa kami berakit. Dah kat lobi tengok2 driver dah sampai. A great timing. Tepati masa. Naiklah van yang besar that for me, very comfortable for and hour and a half ride. Pickup another group of tourist kat Patong town. They were Singaporean college group about 7 of them.AKu dah berkira-kira dah, kalo satu boat nanti mesti kena kongsi ngan depa. Huhu

Bergerak ler kami dari Patong ke Phang Nga.

So geraklah kami ke tempat yang dituju. First destination in the itinerary, Monkey Cave. Being a guy that scare of monkeys, i was not looking forward for this place. Huhu. NAk xnak kena turun gak. But the place was beautiful. There was an awesome temple right next to it and we took pictures there. Also, singgah dalam cave sekejap. ENtrance 20 bhat. Huhu. Kedekut aku nak masuk. Setakat ade sleeping buddha je. And monkeys!. Lot of monkeys. They were quite grabby and cheeky and that among why i scared of monkeys. Hahah.

Don't monkeys look so damn scary? Huhu


Monkey Cave temple.


Kami mencemar duli Buddha. Huhu

After around half and hour kat situ, kami forward to Ba Ting. Before i forget, this place ade kat mainland. around one hour and a half ride from Patong. Kat Phang Nga. Sampailah kami kat resort tu. Waa. Surrounding dia memang tiptop. Ade small lake, cute little chalets, padang. Sebelah sungai yang jernih gik. Memang cun. Rasa nyaman jek. Aku ni memang suka tempat macam tu daripada pantai coz sejuk mata memandang and sejuk menyamankan some more. Terbaik!
Welcomed by suspended bridge kat Baan Ing Tharn Resort

Cute little freshwater lake at the resort.


NIce little resort's cabin by the forest.
Rilek-rilek dulu la sebelum main water rafting. SHit, i'm so boroi!!

Then we suited up for safety. Pakai life jacket and a helmet. Also being given a paddle. For those yang bawak barang, leh simpan dalam provided locker. Don't worry coz barang anda terjaga ngan the key being kept by yourself. Then kami diberi penerangan before the activity starts by sorang ladyboy bermisai. Ahaks. Along yang cakap dia ladyboy coz ade breast which i didn't see. HUhuh. Then sume dibahagaikan kepada group within2 kami saje. Meaning, if dua org datang sekali, dua orang tu la satu boat. Kalo 7 orang, 7 orang tu lah satu boat. Bagus. Xyah share2 ngan strangers. KAmi dapat guide yang paling rock, crazy and kecoh. Too bad i dont remember his name. Huhu.
Kami sudah ready to rock!

Sungai yang kami nak main tu actually very tame. Ala. Macam sungai-sungai kat Ulu Bendul, Ulu Yam sume tu. Tapi kat atas ade dam kot. SO whenever time tuk main rafting, air dilepaskan so jadilah fenomena 'air pasang'. AIr yang jernih and berbatu tu jadi air warna oren ,dalam and deras. But it still looked pretty tame to me coz sungainya x lebar. Cuba kalo sungai tu besar cam SUngai Perak, leh jadi seriau aku. Hahah. Datang air pasang tu, came a number of boat from a different resorts kat atas sungai lagik. Dalam dekat 30-40 boat jugak ler datang situ. Resort kami paling ujung sekali and there were 3 different boat among ourselves. A group of British travelers, Singaporean college kids and us. To think, kalo kami pilih kompeni kat atas2 sikit mesti lagi best coz dapat main sungai lagi jauh sampai ke endpoint. Heheh.




Sungai yang sungguh cun sebelom air empangan dilepaskan.

Lihatlah perbezaan after air pasang. Ganas gak airnya.


Agak havoc le sungai tu dengan 20-30 boat nak harung sungai yang sama at the same time. Which made it more fun. Ade adegan campak2 katak puru between boats la, main campak2 air lah. Sonok tahap maksima. Our boat was among the last yang berlepas. And paling kecoh. I think our boat paling banyak langgar pokok la, langgar tebing la, terkandas atas batu la. Sampai terjerit2 bikin kecoh. Hehe, Our guide also sporting giler. That experience was among the best of my lifetime. Adrenaline wasn't much there. Just pure good fun. Dalam dekat 3,4 km gak sungai tu kami harung. after 20-30 min sampai ler ke off-point. Sronok. Dalam syok2 tu xtau plak ade paparazzi yang amek gambor kami dari atas. hehe. Rupenye depa amek gambor kami tuk dijual once we went back to our camp. Gambar so-so je. Sekeping 15 hengget. Berpatutan gak la banding kat Genting yg sekeping 35 hengget.Kehkeh.

So dari offpoint kami balik ke resort tadi balik for lunch. Waa. Nampak sedap tapi agak ralat sekejap coz we ordered vegetarian/muslim lunch but what was there were chicken and all. we raised our concern to the manager and he assured us the chicken were halal because around the area, chicken were taken from muslim slaughterhouse. And he said himself that he were a muslim. Good enough for me. Either trust him 100% or go hungry for half an hour waiting for them to cook vegetarian meal. Lunch memang sedap. No tomyam but still good. Agak licin sume kami perabih. Haha
Kebasahan dan kelaparan. Tapi maintain camera ready :P

Sedapnya thai food.


After lunch, lepak2 sat sambil depa meniaga gambar2 yang taken time kami main rafting tadi. Gambor agak biasa jek but still, cool enuff tuk wat kenangan. After that, main ngan sugar glider boat guide tadi. Cute little animal. Dia main lari-lari atas tangan. Jinak also. Then onto our next itinerary, naik gajah that will i story in my next post. Later!

Sugar-glider making an epic face kat kamera. Heheh

Sungguh best kat sini. Gambar kenang-kenangan sebelom menuju lokasi naik gajah.
