I remember that it was November 6, 2014, taking advantage of the precious time of the Beijing APEC meeting, the reporter and his party made an unforgettable trip to Phuket. At noon on the same day, I arrived at Tianjin Station by high-speed train from Beijing South Railway Station in half an hour, and followed the clear signs to quickly find Metro Line 2 to Tianjin Binhai International Airport. The subway at Tianjin Railway Station has no manual ticket sales only self-service machines, and the queue is quick and convenient to buy tickets successfully.

After purchasing the ticket, wait for three or five minutes to arrive at the No. 2 subway, the carriage to the airport is sparsely passengers, it only takes 25 minutes to get to the airport's Terminal 2, follow the guide sign to take the roller ladder up to the ground, walk along the bridge for less than ten minutes to come to The No. 1 Terminal of Tianjin Airport Hong Kong and Macao International Departure. That night, due to the reporter's charter flight JF815, which was delayed for three hours before it took off from Tianjin Binhai International Airport, it arrived at Phuket Krabi International Airport at 1 a.m. Thai time on November 7 after more than five hours of flight. Stay the night at AONANG AYODHAYA hotel on the shores of the Krabi Sea.

At 8:50 Thai time on November 7th, half awake to open the curtains and take a look, wow! Outside the veranda, the hotel's splendid courtyard is a turquoise swimming pool. Out of the room a heat wave swept in, not much more than a moment of sweat all over the neck, good guys are the tropical climate of the island country is not a joke. At about 10 o'clock, the reporter and his party bid farewell to the hotel where Krabi was staying and drove to start our trip to Phuket.

Phuket Island, a southern island in Thailand, is located in the Andaman Sea off the west coast of the Malay Peninsula in southern Thailand. The capital, Phuket Town, is located in the southeast of the island and is a large port and commercial center. Phuket is the largest island in Thailand and the smallest province in Thailand. With its charming scenery and rich tourism resources, it is known as "a pearl of the Andaman Sea". Phuket is very rich in natural resources, with the reputation of "Treasure Island" and "Treasure Island". The main mineral is tin, but it is also rich in rubber, seafood and various fruits. The island is more developed in industry, commerce and tourism.
Coming to Phuket is mainly accompanied by the sea, and there are various water-related tours to play. Our first day trip was to the island's famous Phang Nga Bay. Drive on the island's not-so-wide roads, with beautiful views from the windows on the way from the hotel to the pier for more than an hour. Typical plants of tropical countries such as palm trees, rubber groves and coconut trees lining the roads are hidden from time to time among the green mountains and green trees. However, there are also some terrible and harmful factors lurking in this beautiful scenery, that is, many kinds of snakes are hidden in it. The most terrifying of these is said to be the King Kong-eyed snake.

P Shi said that once a person is bitten by a snake, even if it is only a little fingertip, the venom will enter the heart in 3 minutes and cause death. In this case, you must quickly tie the wound with a rope in time to block the flow of venom, and then let the hospital or yourself solve the problem of chopping off your snake-bitten finger must be decided quickly. Shi Dao's words made everyone listen to a little creepy, looking at everyone's expression, P Shi laughed, he said that everyone does not have to be nervous, just want to remind you not to go to the woods that do not know the situation.

After nearly two hours of driving, we came to the pier and took a very famous local long-tail boat to Phang Nga Bay and began our rafting journey to Phuket Island in the Indian Ocean. Along the coast of the journey to Phang Nga Bay, there are two limestone caves, Suwanakhula Cave and Thum Ruesi Cave: the former cave is a wide area with a variety of strange stalagmites and stalactites, and there is a Buddhist temple; the latter is larger, and its cave is made up of dozens of peaks connected by the bottom of dozens of peaks, and the scenery inside the cave is mysterious and spectacular. Unfortunately, when I went to sea, the weather suddenly became overcast and it rained lightly, but the feeling of chopping the waves in a longtail boat was really exciting.

Phang-Nga Bay (Phang-Nga) is located 75 km northeast of Phuket, belonging to Phang Nga Province, which is close to phuket's southern mainland, and is the most beautiful place in Phuket and the surrounding area. The bay is dotted with many large and small islands, rocky and rugged, with thousands of scenery, which is a world wonder, so it is also known as Thailand's "Little Guilin".

Here the peaks are towering, the seascape is picturesque, the scenery is majestic, and Ko Pingkan Island (Ko Pingkan), which is obliquely stacked by two peaks, is inverted in an inverted V-shape, and the mountain wall is sharp and smooth like a mirror. People look up under the stone wall, like a line of heaven; Tabu Mountain, shaped like an iron nail inserted in the seabed, is about 30 meters high, due to the erosion of the sea and wide and narrow, wolf's tooth stick-like head is large and thin, standing proudly on the magnificent sea, pointing straight to the clouds, imposing.

After lunch at the Muslim village in Phang Nga Bay, everyone continued to take a long-tail boat to Slit Throat Island, not far from Phang Nga Bay. Hong Island is located in Phuket City, Phuket Province, southern Thailand, the name of Cut Throat Island comes from a film filmed here", the Thai word is "Room Island", because the island is surrounded by an eroded large cave, resembling a house room, because the pronunciation is similar to Chinese (gehou), so the Chinese take its name as Cut Throat Island, beautiful natural landscapes and rich water activities make Cut Throat Island one of the popular tourist attractions to visit Phuket, Thailand.

People come here on the pier to change canoes to cruise in the surrounding sea, boat in the sea to see the caves, visit the bat ecology, ice cream caves, caves and other natural landscapes, especially the rich coral reef ecology, tropical fish and marine life and other leisurely swimming in the ocean is really fascinating, here is also to Phuket, Thailand to enjoy one of the most charming South Island style.

Leaving Slit Throat Island and continuing on a longtail boat to the famous 007 Island, which was filmed here in 1974 by James Bond's 007 film Series The Tranniff, because in the movie, people no longer pay attention to the island's real name Tapu Island, but call it 007 Island, or Champs Island. The "Cabbage Stone" that stands on the sea here stands out most prominently, a strange stone that is said to disappear soon after.

On November 8th, we continued our Phuket Island tour and drove to the Phuket pier in the morning to take a charter boat speedboat to the depths of the ocean. Speedboats with a speed of about 30 knots per hour, equivalent to 50 miles per hour, ride the wind and waves, leaving a long white wave waterline behind the boat. After more than 40 minutes of travel, the speedboat first came to Lover's Beach, known as Little Phi Phi Island.
Love Beach (Photo: Feng Ganyong)
Phi Phi Le is about 2 km apart from The Great Phi Phi Island, has an area of about 6.6 square kilometers, and is surrounded by cliffs and cliffs, so it is rarely inhabited. However, today it is already a tourist destination. It is a place loved by the sun, with soft white sandy beaches, tranquil turquoise waters, magical natural caves, and unspoiled nature that has made it stand out from more than 30 outlying islands around Phuket and become one of the hottest resorts in recent years.

Walking up the island, the feeling of stepping on the delicate white sand beach is really comfortable and wonderful. Due to the rainy day, the sea here is dark green, otherwise the sea under the blue sky and white clouds will become blue. As the location of the Hollywood film "The Beach", it is because it has a naturally beautiful beach. The island has a wide variety of tropical plants, countless and extraordinarily beautiful. Crescent-like bays, deep blue waters, colorful marine life, and so on, even the smell of romanticism wafts through the air! No wonder she has a reputation as a beach of love.

Pull a deck chair to enjoy the warm pulse of the sun on the beach, leisurely turn a few pages of books, sip a mouthful of colorful freshly squeezed tropical juice, occasionally take a daze, take a nap, there are also the sound of the continuous waves, so comfortable; maybe you love sports, then you must come here to show your skills! Swimming, diving, water skiing, canoeing, wind and wave boarding, banana boats, a variety of water and underwater sports will make people dance and have no time to rest. Of course, we must also pay attention to the dynamic and static, relaxed and reasonable, after the fierce exercise, you may wish to rent a fishing rod, feel comfortable fishing for small fish, small crabs and the like, don't be too serious, willing to take the bait!

There are also several huge limestone caves on the island, with many beautiful stalactites hanging in the caves, and some of the cave walls are also carved with murals of prehistoric humans, elephants, ships, etc. According to legend, these caves were formerly the dens of Andaman pirates, so they were called "pirate caves". Between the steep cliff walls and the stalactites in the caves, swallow nests are densely packed. This is the base camp for the collection of "bird's nest", a delicacy and precious tonic in the dish. Scaffolding made of bamboo poles is suspended everywhere on the cliff walls and in the caves, some of which point directly to the top of the cave for people who collect bird's nests to crawl and collect. P Shi said that the work of collecting bird's nest is very difficult and dangerous, and there are often accidents of falling to death or falling. Boats travel slowly over the waters around Little Phi Phi Island, where people can watch the collection of bird's nests and witness the arduous process of gathering.

At noon, the speedboat took the reporter and his party to Da Phi Phi Island for a buffet lunch. Phi Phi Don is about 28 km² wide, 3.5 km wide and 8 km long. Shaped like an irregular dumbbell, it is lined with green hills at both ends, and the center of the island is formed by the confluence of two half-moon-shaped bays, and the water near the shore is a charming emerald color. The middle of the island is extremely narrow, with only about 80 meters at its narrowest point. The island is inhabited by fishermen and offers a wide range of resorts, restaurants, bars and a variety of entertainment venues.

Team leader Wang Yijun introduced to reporters that most people who generally like tranquility will like Phi Phi Island, spend a few days here, and will definitely feel the best feeling of life. If it is a short, hurried day trip, although you can also see the beauty of Phi Phi Island, it is difficult to fully appreciate the romantic style of Phi Phi Island, because it is suitable for living calmly and carefully tasting.

After lunch, the speedboat sails out of Big Phi Phi Island for snorkeling in a tranquil area. After the speedboat broke anchor, everyone put on their diving goggles and jumped into the water. The tour guide P Shi took a piece of bread and broke it into the diving area, attracting many colorful marine fish to prey. Snorkelers in the sea look down into the sea through diving goggles, and the sight of all kinds of sea creatures swimming among the colorful coral stones is truly beautiful.

Generally speaking, the regular itinerary is to take an ordinary boat for more than two hours to Da Phi Phi Island, and then after a lunch and then turn back, the whole trip is over. Because the reporter's team chartered a speedboat on the same day, saving travel time, they were able to visit love beaches, bird's nest island, Dapi Phi Island, Emperor Island and other sea attractions in the day.

On November 9, I was planning to go to Coral Island, but due to the impact of the typhoon, I changed my itinerary to visit Phuket's famous Sea Dragon Temple. Wat Hai Lung is one of the most famous temples in Thailand and the largest Buddhist temple on Phuket, with incense in full swing. The temple is dedicated to two revered statues of monks, of which Luan Pucheng was the abbot of the temple at the beginning of this century, and his bone grafting skills are so famous that he was awarded the title of special priesthood.

Among the temples in Phuket, the incense is the most abundant here. The hall dedicated to 108 golden Buddhas is very impressive. The specifications of Hailong Temple are small compared to the temples in China, but the unique architectural style is still very beautiful! It is said that the four-sided Buddha inside is very spiritual, so it attracts a large number of tourists who travel to Phuket Hailong Temple in Thailand to burn incense. The surrounding coral island is famous for its fine water and sand, colorful coral belts, and the blue water is shaken by coconut willows.

Leaving the Temple of the Sea Dragon, a temple that Thais call "carrying yo-yo" (meaning leisurely and slow-paced), we drove to the Phuket Showroom of Thai Biotechnology (Viper Research Center). Just now in the temple is still a very relaxed and relaxed state of mind, but here to watch a gripping human snake war is suddenly exciting, perhaps this is what people often call "one piece and one relaxation".

When you come to Thailand, you usually see a shemalade show, and the same is true in Phuket that night. Its dazzling choreography effects, dynamic music, graceful and colorful dance, beautiful faces, and a group of handsome men and women with tall figures like models performed an seamless and pleasing song and dance party. Tour guide P Shi humorously said: In fact, the performance of the shemale is mainly in the dance of the fingers, which means that you earn three pieces, spend five pieces, and have to ask the boss for two pieces. The humorous expression caused a burst of happy laughter from the people in the car.

On the morning of November 10th, after a night of lightning and thunder, the typhoon finally came to an end, and we drove away from the ACCESS hotel to the pier to start the trip to Coral Island, which we did not go yesterday. Transfer to a dedicated double-row bus at the pier to the beach and then take a speedboat to Coral Island.

Coral Island, also known as Koran Island and Sands Island, is about 10 kilometers off the coast of Pattaya and is named for its rich coral ecology, and is surrounded by a variety of colorful coral reefs. It is a beautiful place to choose from a variety of water sports. It is an increasingly popular and lively place, and more people come here to enjoy the sun bath. It is particularly suitable for diving, and there are many such as underwater walking (wearing a helmet to feed fish to the bottom of the sea) and paragliding, diving projects, etc., from the most basic diving courses, to equipped with professional diving equipment and issuing certificates, there are a variety of packages to choose from. The unique value of Coral Island sightseeing is also that near the island, you can change to a unique glass-bottom boat and enjoy the all-round view of the underwater wonders.

After landing on the island, you can see the crescent-like beach embracing the blue and transparent sea, the sand grains of the beach are white and soft, especially clean and beautiful, and the water quality of the sea is clean, which can see through the underwater biological world under the water depth of several meters. The beach is lined with beach chairs and colorful sun umbrellas, giving it a very comfortable and comfortable treat. There are many amusement facilities on the island, in addition to swimming in the blue waves, resting on the sandy sandy beach, you can also skateboard in the sea, drive jet skis in the sea, can swim in deep water, or fly in the sky with a parachute, or leisurely fishing at the sea.

After taking a dip in Coral Island, the yacht took us to Peach Blossom Island, which is not far away. Compared with the hustle and bustle of the coral island, it is more and more peaceful and beautiful. It is a quiet and charming island, with a large lawn located on the beach more than ten meters from the sea, surrounded by scattered villas and cottages. If you are boating with your bride and savoring the setting sun, sit with the groom and watch the sea and enjoy the tenderness of the moonlight. How poetic it would be to hold the wedding of a lifetime in this dreamy place!
Romantic wedding photos (Photo: Feng Ganyong)
Coincidentally, although we did not see a wedding on the island that day, we saw a European couple who came from afar to take wedding photos on this small island. It is really pleasing to watch the joy and romance of the couple taking wedding photos against the background of nature in the blue sea and blue sky. No wonder Peach Blossom Island is known as the most romantic island in Phuket. With the end of the sightseeing on Peach Blossom Island, the reporter's trip to Phuket was also successfully concluded. Five days of lobbying for Phuket Island is not long, it is not short, but the exciting, beautiful, joyful, and comfortable taste and feeling of that scene will always remain in everyone's heart.
