Jenna and I took a half day trip to check out some sights around the island, mainly Maya Bay, where of course The Beach was shot. We had watched the movie the night before at Banana bar so I was very excited to be in Leo infested waters, yum yum yum. On a side note, if it's been a while check out that movie again.
We cruised on a long tail boat through turquoise waters and stared in amazement at the lime stone cliffs that surrounded us. I've never seen anything so magnificent. I'm so sad my camera could never do it justice but any photo you can find online is not photoshopped I'll tell you that much for free. This place is unbelievable. We went to Monkey Island (aw, RIP Davey Jones) where, you guessed it, we saw some monkeys. Very aggressive little creatures I must say. Normally I'd want to pick them up so we could examine each other face to face but I couldn't help but have "rabbies!" shouting in my head. So when the cutest little thing hightailed it after me latching onto my leg I screamed so loud it freaked him out and I headed straight for the water feeling a little foolish.
Next we saw the Viking cave, I still don't get it. And finally got to snorkel in Maya Bay for about half an hour. Snorkeling has to be my favorite activity it's such a peaceful experience, I attempted to chase a barracuda ...they sure are fast.
It's time for an experiment!
I want to you be able to experience the sensation I did in Maya Bay. Go to the dollar store and get a turquoise bin, one big enough to stand in, and at least three inches deep. It's okay I'll wait...got it? Great. Ok, go warm up your car again and go to the grocery store. If these two places happened to be in the same vicinity I apologize that I made you complete the first task before continuing to read the directions. Now, Get roughly six large bags of icing sugar and dump them into the bin. Now get in! That is what the sand felt like, no joke. And of course the turquoise bin is the water...aww I'm so creative.
That'll be 250 Baht.
Fun fact: Jay Z and Beyoncé trademarked their daughters name.
