What to do in Phuket?
2. John Gray's Sea Canoe - Hong by Starlight
Price : 3,700 baht per pax (~ RM370)
package included : round trips transfer from hotel, buffet lunch, buffet BBQ seafood dinner, unlimited season fruits & drinking water.
yes, the price is quite expensive, but i think you should try once in your life. For me, it's a spiritual experience.
The tour start with a van took us from hotel lobby around 12 o'clock noon, about 45min driving we arrived at Ao Por Pier. From the pier we boarded a modern escort boat heading to Phang Nga Bay.
On the boat we were served with Thai style light lunch, season fruits, drinks and some trip briefing were given by our Lead tour guide, Nick.
For those on fasting, sorry.. u cant eat... huhuhuhu ><
When arrived Phang Nga Bay, we paddling sea canoe to explore the caves or hongs around one by one. (Hongs mean rooms in Thai). I just felt relax and enjoy the view all the way as i no need to kayak myself, we had our personal tour guide -- Joe, he was the one who paddling canoe all the way and gave us many explaination and information about the hongs.
around 5 o'clock evening, we having some free time to relax on boat while our kakak preparing seafood BBQ dinning for us.. ^^ I was enjoy the sea wind blow through on my face.. looking at the sea view, looking at the sunset.. enjoying the smell of BBQ dinning.. all my working pressure gone at the moment.. arg~~~ i'm hungry!! is time for Buka Puasa!!!! ><
Actually we had an option to swim around.. (but puasa x leh masuk air!!)
before enjoy our meal, we were given a task to be done - Making Kratong. This is the main reason why i choose this tour.. :) Joe said making Kratong is a new year festivel event in Thailand. It's one of the Buddha cultural, the different thing between our Kratong is their Kratong will be launch on river and ours one will be launch on sea. Ttheir materials using is totally go-green, no nails allowed and we just make it for fun, so after we launch our Kratong on sea, we have to correct it back.. err.. ><
How to make a Kratong?? just see on the video below.. if feel interest.. you can make one for your own.. heheh
after dinning, the sky was dark, and it's the time we waiting for - Launch the Kratong!!! yeah!
we back to one of the hong visited in darkness.. light up the candle, before put the Kratong on sea we have to make a wish.. They said our wish will come true.. hm.. yes.. i believe it.. :)
along the way we back to our boat, we were kayaking went through a very dark cave. This time no torchlight & camera flash allowed. Put my finger inside the water.. wah!! it was many bioluminescence lightning inside the water!! i never seen this before in my life.. it so beautiful.. it so mysticism.. sorry no video provide.. as really very dark.. huhuhu
Give yourself a chance to try this once in your life.. it's worth.. :)
