It’s actually good for me because I don’t have any luxurious time to spend on vacation because I’m working in a hotel; you know working in a hotel you’re not allowed to take a leave if it’s high season. But it’s still a great opportunity for me to travel to these lovely 3 islands in one day. In partnership with SCT Tours and Serenity Yacht Pattaya, my first summer goal was achieved with my travel and blogger bestie.
We arrived in our meeting place at Central Festival Mall
around 8:30 AM and we are picked up by a minivan going to Marina Ocean YachtClub. But before we went to Marina Ocean Yacht Club the minivan also
picked-up other guest from other hotels, they are Chinese, Russians and German.
About 20 minutes we arrived at the Marina Ocean Yacht Club.
The feeling? OMG! I feel like I’m an important person because
it’s my first time to take a day cruise in a Catamaran. The docking place is so
beautiful and clean and there are so many yachts and of course it’s my first so
I’m kinda excited to get inside and feel the moment.
The Thai Staff who took good care of us inside the Catamaran
are very kind and accommodating, at first I think they are unapproachable
because their voices are very loud and when they speak it looks like they are
angry, but luckily it’s not it’s just their tone. They are very accommodating and
entertaining, they make sure that guest feel comfortable and that we enjoyed
our day cruise
The first island we went is the island of Koh Phai. The
island is actually under the care of Thai navy, but there is a part of the
island that they let the guest and tourist swim for a day. Overnight stay is
prohibited on this area. We are told that it will took 1 hour to reach the
first island so they told us to enjoy first the air and feel relax. But
honestly, I don’t feel relax at all it’s not that it’s their fault. It’s
actually on my part; I feel nauseous and dizzy because I haven’t ate my
breakfast before we went on this trip. And the waves are very big and the
Catamaran is really swaying while sailing and I feel sick of this kind of
travel. You know what I mean? I’m sure you do! Inside the Catamaran is not over
crowded and that’s a good thing.
We arrived at Koh Phai finally after an hour, the island is
beautiful, I love the sand it’s so crystal, fine white sand. And the beach is
not overcrowded in which what we are looking for. The water is so clear and
totally beautiful. The only problem is that there not much of shade on this
area, you can’t find any restaurants, toilets, vendors, beach bench or even
umbrella. Koh Phai beach is purely a beach. During this moment it’s actually
very hot, when I say hot, it’s totally hot. Luckily there are also some trees
near the shore so we went there and rest.
They only let us to explore the island for an hour. I feel
so sad about it; because I wanted to stay more in that island it is so much
beautiful. But I don’t have any choice, the whole day was already planned we
still need to go to the other 2 islands. We are also given a Snorkeling mask
for free, but once we lost it we will p
Serenity Yacht Pattaya, prepares a buffet lunch for us, and
it is so delicious especially the grilled pork. I know you will say what’s in
the grilled pork it's just a "grilled pork". I just love how they grilled it and it’s so tender. After we
ate we travel again for an hour to reach the second island the Koh Rin island.
During this moment I feel calm within myself because I
already eat much during the buffet lunch LOL and I didn’t felt any
dizziness at all.
We arrived at Koh Rin and the island is so pretty, the same
with Koh Phai there’s no restaurants, toilets, vendors, beach bench or even
umbrella. It’s just a beautiful beach and sand and rocks.
For the last island it took only 30 minutes to reach the
Monkey Island. Before we book this trip I’m actually having doubts because of
the Monkey Island. I’m scared of monkey, True!
It’s not that I have a phobia with monkeys I just don’t like when they
are climbing in my body. But we still push this trip who knows I might get
amuse by the monkeys.
We arrived at the Monkey Island and honestly there are so
many of them, and I didn’t go near the seashore. I don’t care if I’m wet as
long as I’m quite far from the sand. Our
tour guide brought some fruits to the island and feed the monkeys. It’s so
funny when the monkeys washed first the fruits in the water before they eat it. Who
taught that thing to them? As what I’ve expected they are climbing from one
body to another.
After watching and feeding the monkeys we headed back again
to the Catamaran and sail back to the city. I enjoyed a lot when we sailed back
to the city because the tour guide and the other guest including my friend
dance like a Hawaiian girls with other guest from the other Catamaran while
sailing back to the city.
In summary of my whole experience, I totally enjoyed and i feel satisfied by this trip but when you ask me what my favorite island is I can
totally say that it’s Koh Phai. The island is totally amazing and a paradise.
If you are in Pattaya, Thailand and you want to try
something more adventure than staying in only one beach or island try the Island
Hopping with Serenity Yacht Club, I actually don’t know how to contact them
because it’s my tour agency who arranged our day cruise with them. You can book
and reserve a day island hopping in Pattaya by SCT Tour, you can contact them
at 0956872722
Thank you so much SCT Tour and Serenity Yacht Club for this
amazing day cruise.
