First bus ride over, to the giant meet-up in Korat to get on the double decker charter bus which we will take to the South.
Kitty looks out the front window of the second story on the double decker charter bus. The front left aisle seat was mine. :)
Getting close to the first beach.
Michelle. One cool kid.
Our first beach front. ...and we thought this place was pretty. Ha. :P
Hehe. Michelle in her hot pink watershoes! Honestly, I wish I had some, too...
A couple islands. Michelle and I swam to the one on the right, I think. We always had the bottom of the ocean in possible contact with our feet, so we were okay, too.
Me and the islands.
In a speed boat.
It was a bumpy ride.
This is Karley. Love the hair, Karley. :P
Carol and Michelle. :)
Docking for a quick walk around the island.
Diana [blue shirt] takes a picture of Michelle [wearing Laos shirt - lol].
Some climbers.
Entering the walk-through cave.
More cave-walking. No, I don't know these farang...
Gasp! It's a rocky stalagmite!
Woo! With my Thai Coke T-Shirt.
Fishies and sand lie in the water.
L to R: Mandy, Ileia, Carol!
Yuki leaving footprints in the sand...
That guy on the right would be Champ. He's Rotex, and a really cool guy.
Ozzy! Oswaldo. :P
Karley.
A group of us in the water.
Me in the water.
Megan. :)
Me and Diana!
R to L: Andrew [Pres] and Diana. ^_^
L to R: Maria, Carol, Pornchai.
Don't ask me, I don't know what's going on.
Stopped at “Amazon Cafe” for some coffee. Me and a giraffe outside the shop.
Michelle and the giraffe. :P
Yuki and Michelle, Ozzy's face in the background on the right. :P
Chillin'.
Our “little tour boat.”
Most of us.
No matter how much of this white stuff you put on, you're still going to get burnt.
Chicken Island, so-called.
A temple...
Prapart is laughing.... don't know what at.... :P
Docking at James Bond Island.
I'm at James Bond Island!!! :D
The name's Schumacher. Monica Schumacher.
Mandy and Ileia [with water bottle]. :P
Leaving James Bond Island.
Shortcut cave!
Inside the shortcut cave.
Leaving shortcut cave, Ozzy is bored [I think].
Floating Canoe rental shops... Brilliant, no? How do you get to them to rent one?
OMG MONKEY.
Me and ze monkey. His name is either “Hairy” or “Harry.” :P
What chu doin'? :P
Some cool seashell art.
I think I look like the puffer fish...
Shark!
It's a boat of farang tourists!
If you look closesly, you can see the steam coming off of the water bottle because of the heat and the cold. Also, you can see an angry looking old man...
Climbing up the hotel...?
Sup, guys?
Onto our all-day-travelling boat. This is on floor two.
Ileia lookin' out.
Michelle.
Back on floor two.
Captain's quarters.
Ozzy looking out.
Ileia and Mandy. Water spot on camera much?
Intro to the Similan Islands.
Chase' hermit crab friend.
Chase and his pet. We're inside one of the bungalows on the Similans.
This is the beach with our resort on it. Actually, the first night we were in bungalows. Then we were in tents.
Climbing up the giant rock pile.
Made it ontop of the pile!
I put my camera on 10 mode. The guys that unbalance the picture on the right jumped in at the last second... literally. Camera held sturdy thanks to my sandals... which also tilted the camera. We got everyone in, though. :) [everyone who climbed the rock]
Check it out. Look how clear the water is, too!
Look out!!! :P
Photo shoot begins...
Diana! this is a rad picture of her.
Me and the water this time. =]
Yukiiii.
The first thing that came to mind was the Pink Flloyd Album Cover.
I think the boat in the distance is having some steering problems... lol.
Me and my rad floppy hat.
Some of the kids are snorkeling.
A turtle came to visit us... :)
Now he goes away...
Second night of 2 at the Similan Islands.
We got stuck with tents.
Tents that had holes in the sides. Nope, I didn't get that side. Muahahaha.
Outside the tent. Check out the sand mass pile-up on the mats.
Some more tenting.
Our tent was C 10.
This is the cool lamp right outside the tent front. It didn't work. That was both a good and a bad thing - couldn't see at night, but could sleep... better.
The yacht turned ever just so, so everyone on the shore and in boats could see its mass beauty. I swear.
Our kitchen and mini-dock [back of the boat, bottom floor].
We had fried chicken for nearly every meal... but it was good.
Playing Euchre.
Haha, Snokeling. [Reread the sign if you didn't catch it.]
Woo, Phuket!
I though we were in Phuket already! [There were another one or two of these signs before we were actually in the city of Phuket [and not just the Province.]
That pointy thing on that hill in the background is a very large Buddha statue. Usually known as a “Buddha Image.”
Sunset in Phuket.
Carol, Mandy, me.
Ileia and me.
Mandy and Ileia.
Carol, Mandy, and Ileia.
Almost bought them... I should have done so.
GASP! ICE CREAM! Look at all the evil going on.
The watermelon monster.
The sign on Chase's shirt says “You are Here.” and is Pointing to Phuket. :P
Diana gets contacts! [She lost her glasses to the ocean.]
The cool staircase thing connecting floors 1, 2 and 3. [1 - Main Entry Area; 2 - Eating Room and Karaoke; 3- Coffee Shop and bar.]
Just a cool picture of me, I think...
Pretty, no?
These pictures were taken from the roof of the hotel in Phuket.
Pretty squiggles made from the buildings at night.
Apparently, Batman is needed here...
Me with Phuket.
Hehe. :P

It just told me a secret...
See how big they are?
Making glass sculptures.
Ileia found something she liked... a lot...
Pssst...
Despite probable belief, the water comes out of the nose... not the mouth. And yes, BOTH nostrils. :P
Diana likes her Nemo fishie. :)
Hehe.
Michelle is ninja.
Haha, my shirt matches the table. :P
My “pose.” :P Lol.
The pool table/room/with AC rent came with a dry erase board!
I is locked in cage... set me free!
