Wednesday, 18th November 2009 - Speed Boat around the Islands



We arranged to be collected from our Mee Mee apartments and taken the short drive to Ao Nang beach. We were a little squashed on the speed boat. Especially with the choppy seas. But we went around loads of beautiful islands and saw the beach where 'The Beach' was filmed
We managed to make time for a little snorkeling, looking at the Coral and all the colourful fish, etc. The people on the boat with us where a little miserable but we managed to keep laughing. The scariest bit was when we went snorkeling, about 30 minutes into it a huge boat or ferry turned up and 1000's of people started jumping up and diving in. We decided at that point it was time to get out.

Maya Beach (aka The Beach Beach) was lovely. Looked just like it did in the film, apart from it was packed full of boats and people. There was a really small section allocated for swimmers and the rest packed with boats. It is hardly unexpected though, considering no one leaves Thailand without seeing Maya Beach.
