10 Reasons why we Love Phuket

My husband and I could mention 101 reasons but we decided to just share 10 reasons...

1.   BUDGET FRIENDLY

2.     BEAUTIFUL PARADISE

Amazing view from our speedboat

Unique rock formations

They call this Mini James Bond Island, some movie scenes where
shot here

Phi Phi Island 

The Monkey Island

Friendly and very accommodating to their guests

Very busy it was lunch time!

Thinking if it will take it or not... But it was ok at least we got a good shot

I'm not sure if my husband was taking a picture of the monkey
or the sexy lady or maybe BOTH? 

To really see the beauty yes we joined John Gray's canoe trip!
We went inside the caves and saw the plankton that glows in the dark!

Getting in and out of caves was exciting and fun!

This is the inside of the cave that we went in,
amazingly huge its like another dimension of the earth

Cave entrance. Priceless! God's great creations!

Its just amazing to be near this kind of beauty

To be in a far away island and just sit in the shore thinking of nothing
is truly amazing

Swimming with small fish

Our guide left us to try it by ourselves.
Canoeing with my husband for the first time in an open sea.
SCARY but EXCITING and SUPER FUN!

Being inside a dark cave and seeing glow in dark plankton
just spell out  the word AMAZING!

10. ROMANTIC GETAWAY

Yes we fell in love with the beauty of PHUKET
and yes we fell in love with each other even more!

Excited for the Canoe tour

Fun under the sun

Swimming together is still fun for us

Sitting under a big umbrella looking at the wide sea before us
is just perfectly romantic

Holding hands while strolling by the beach

Waking up in the morning with you by my side
and seeing the beauty of nature

And seeing old couples having fun, I pray to God that may He bless us with
long wonderful years together so we can fall in love
over and over again with each other
