Take a speedboat to go snorkeling.
Snorkeling is shallow snorkeling.
The coral here is not very beautiful, but the water is clear, you can see sea urchins, coral and small schools of fish.
You can swim in the sea, paddle and play slides to your heart's content.
** Snorkeling is beautiful and suitable for the price, only 200 baht per person, which is considered worthwhile. **
A new experience for those who have never snorkeled, it's okay, not a waste of money.
We played in the water until we were tanned. There was no makeup left.
I'm exhausted, let's go back.
Take a speedboat back to shore.
Back to the accommodation, take a shower and get dressed to continue the trip. Still have energy? (or not)
:.: Hat Ta Waen :.:
After going diving, we arrived at Hat Ta Waen when it was already getting late.
It's a pity that I didn't take many pictures.
*** The road to Hat Ta Waen is very steep, please drive carefully. ***
Day 2: Temple Market and Relaxation
The day began at the bustling temple market, where a plethora of delicious food options awaited. After indulging in the local cuisine, it was time to return to the accommodation for a much-needed shower and rest. Exhaustion had truly set in, making sleep the top priority.
Day 3: Greetings from Haad Thian Beach
The morning found us at Haad Thian Beach, where the tranquil atmosphere provided a welcome respite from the previous day's activities.
A must-visit bridge for photography.
The view and lighting were perfect, so I took a lot of photos. Sorry about that.
Time to go home, I'm so sad!
I went back to my accommodation to pack my things and check out.
Before heading home, I took another walk around the property.
The atmosphere of the accommodation was amazing, with a shared balcony overlooking the sea and stairs leading down to the beach.
It was beautiful and fantastic.
Time to go, goodbye
