After leaving Krabi I headed to Phuket island. I took a local bus from Ao Nang to Krabi Town, from there a bus to Phuket Town and after that a taxi to Kata Beach. The hotel name was Jinta Andaman . Found my guest house and it was the most stylished guest house I have ever been in. All modern decor, style and the bathroom was really big. In all it cost me about $18 per night.
Went and had dinner on the of the side mountain at a terrace restaurant overlooking the bay of Kata Beach. The place had a Bob Marley theme to it and out front was a Thai “Bob Marley” wannabe saying “Whatz up my maun? Welcome to da restaurant of peace and love.” Was a cheap place and had a good meal. Went back to my room and crashed for the night as I was tired from the night before because of the drinking with the Norwegians. I had already planned a scuba diving trip before leaving BKK with a lady i have known somewhat for the last 2 years. She’s an instructor and last time I was in Phuket she helped me find info about dive sites in the area there but I never got to meet up with here. So I emailed her again and she set up everything. She booked me on a boat with Dive Asia that was going to Phi Phi Islands for 3 dives.
Met some cool people on the boat that will hopefully send me some underwater photos that they got (I didn’t take any), so I can post them here for you to see what we seen. It was better diving then the last time I was in Phuket and I got to see a few black tip sharks, sea snakes, rays, sea turtle, eels, lion fish exc exc. Was nice to dive again since I hadn’t in 8 months and was worth the the money to go. Thank you Marcia for making it happen!
