One day we decided to take a tour of the islands east of Phuket. We were picked up from the hotel and drove 20 miles to the other side of Phuket and got on a speedboat with 20 other passengers and a russian tour guide. The took us to some of the karsts in the Andaman sea.
The rocks stand straight up, and there are some beaches.
We stopped at a national park and puzzled at the muddled engrish.
Pee Pee Island. Seriously. the "ph" is pronounced like "pee". So it is either Pooket and Pee Pee or Fooket and Fee Fee.
We stopped on one of the islands and did a little snorkeling. It wasn't that great - no coral reefs or interesting stuff to look at. But it was nice to get into the salt water and float and look at the colorful fish. I even saw a shark! Granted, it was only two feet long but looked like a great white.
And of course ... we had to get through some rain on the way to the next stop. Luckily the speedboat, with two 225hp Honda outboards, got us there in a jiffy.
