Sherlock Posted September 3, 2018 Posted September 3, 2018 Always love to take this day trip when im in Phuket, and for only 800 baht(haggled down from from 1400 baht),buffet meal and ALL soft drinks included in the price. I dont think you can argue with the price too much. :Photos taken this past September.# 2 1 1
Odense Posted September 8, 2018 Posted September 8, 2018 Looks like it was a great daytrip. How do you haggle tre price down (that much)?
AJSP Posted September 8, 2018 Posted September 8, 2018 Nice photos. Couldn’t help noticing the cute tour guide - 😇
Krapow Posted September 8, 2018 Posted September 8, 2018 I get put off Phuket, as some say it's too expensive and touristy. Yes I know i'd be a tourist as well
Binlid Posted September 10, 2018 Posted September 10, 2018 Great pics Chris, we also did a trip last November and it will be a memory I will cherish to the grave. I will post some photos sometime soon 2

Horizondave Posted September 10, 2018 Posted September 10, 2018 Never been but the photos really make me want to go, only issue would be the many tourists spoiling the perfect view. Thanks for posting. 1
KhunDon Posted September 10, 2018 Posted September 10, 2018 The wife’s Aunty has a Thai film company and was also a set director on a few films, including some Bond films, where she designed some of the the sets. Did some sets on the Bridget Jones films in Thailand, amongst others and trained in the US under Oliver Stone. She was involved in the film, The Beach and many other films. So interesting talking to her about the film industry in Thailand and elsewhere. She designed our beach front coffee shop in Hua Hin, in the Bali style. She’s still involved in films, but also designs houses in Asia and elsewhere. We went to Ko Kao Phing Kan once, many years ago, a beautiful place, but ruined by tourism. The smell of engine fuel and smoke was overwhelming. I can understand why people visit, but once was enough for me. 1 2

Rompho Ray Posted October 15, 2018 Posted October 15, 2018 Looks like a beautiful place to get away. Thanks for posting, mate. 1
Punter Posted December 22, 2018 Posted December 22, 2018 Took a trip to James Bond Island in 2005. These photos brought back memories. It was on those must dos while in Phuket. I doubt very much I'll ever go back to Phuket now so I'm glad I took the trip when I did.
davethailand Posted December 22, 2018 Posted December 22, 2018 Was last there with the wife and step kids in 2006. 🙂

CampariO Posted February 11, 2019 Posted February 11, 2019 Thanks for sharing. Was there more than 20 years ago, but wouldn't return now. Better to visit some other secluded part of the beautiful south. 1
Glasseye Posted February 16, 2019 Posted February 16, 2019 Nice.... I'm going to have to give Phuket another chance one of these days. It's been a long time/ 1

Yes, that is for sure .... and there are a shit load down in my neck of the woods .... the Adaman sea side of Thailand is incredibly beautiful the further South you go from Phuket ... Great pictures .... A lot of these type of tours have been scaled back to the many islands they used to go to .. due to pollution, mass hordes of people and the destroying of the reefs .. This is an incredible place.. Edited April 3, 2019 by code_slayer_bkk
