So firstly, I would like to wish you guys a very Happy New Year 2023!
I spent the New Year's holiday with my boyfriend in Thailand, in Phuket and around the Andaman islands. Our real first overseas trip together, and I also got him into the water to try out diving with me.
We flew into Krabi for an early morning ferry into Phi Phi Islands the next day.. Stayed in Panmanee Hotel in Phi Phi, which is a short 3 minutes walk from Ton Sai Pier, and done a half day snorkelling and island hopping excursions to the nearby islands.. The hotel itself looks quite new and located smack in the middle of madness but yet quiet and tucked away enough for a good sleep..
We also checked out the main thoroughfare of Phi Phi and the Long Dalum Bay beach over the other side - it's such a beautiful insta-worthy spot.. Definitely need more time in Phi Phi the next time..
In Phuket, we stayed very closed to Bangla Road along Patong Beach but on a secluded hotel away from the main road, a short 5 minutes walk away, yet quiet and off the grid..
We dove with Super Divers Phuket, and I have to give credit where it's due, it's SUPERB.. If you want to go diving in Phuket, do check Super Divers out, they are very friendly, responsive and the prices are also very competitive, but the point is, you are in good hands..
I will write more about the trip later, till then!
