Speedboat to the "The Beach" beach and more

---

The whole group rented a speed boat for the day and went on a 5 island boat trip. It cost quite a bit, 1000 baht, but was really worth it as it was a great day.
The motorboat went really fast and I found it quite scary as it was very bumpy.
Firstly we stopped in open water for some snorkeling in the shallow reef area. It was amazing, the water was perfectly clear and there we loads and loads of fish, all different shapes and beautiful colours. I got a bit jumpy after I was nibbled by one. The boat driver was throwing in pineapple which the fish loved.
Then we went to Maya beach from the film “The Beach”. Even though it was packed with tourists and speed boats, it was still beautiful.
We then went to a small bay and off to another island for a buffet lunch. During lunch there was a sudden huge downpour, which luckily cleared when we had finished. We went to the monkey bay, which was full of tourists …as well as monkey’s. Our driver fed the monkeys Pepsi!! They were the fattest monkey’s I had ever seen.
We then we for some more snorkeling and had free time on a beach for about an hour.
We got back at about 6 and went for a lovely Thai green curry.
