I didnt need to stay at hotels. I have step family there, so i stayed in the local kampung area houses.Originally posted by libra_gal:wow!!that great...haha!!!!going there shopping spent $$ le...haha.......which hotel or resort you staying??u gt went to the aqua spa there??is it expensive?
And nope, I didnt go for the spas there, after I read about how the spas there are just modelled after the bali spas, and they are expensive. Meant to chop the tourist. -
Go with your own dive group. Once you are familiar there, your subsequent trips will be cheaper.Originally posted by libra_gal:ya lor!!i saw the price in the net!!in baht still but still expensive sia when convert to singapore dollars -
Depends on how well you knew the dive operators.Originally posted by Xcert:go there and find dive operator...they will "chop" U?
always thought its cheaper to book direct with the local operators.
First timers goes there, sure will gana chop.
Unless you go with your local dive groups. -
ok want to dive or want to learnt to dive
go to coral island resort there and learnt
pretty nice resort with clean toilets
and food also nice (althought on a bit high side)

Very nice corals
Diving now carry a 20 percent discount

erm... i dunno about u. but i dun think its enough for me.

i go bungee jump another 1600baht gone
plus makan which is actually cheap.

Haha, the idea here is still the same, don't get caught. Think the fine is about 300baht?Originally posted by kopiosatu:i dun think u need a licence because my friend and his gf didn't have any licence and he rented a bike.

To rent a motorbike you just need to handover your passport (safe or not I am not sure, but so far so good), no need any licence. But be aware that should you be involved in any accidents, the ''repair cost'' will often be very outrageous! -
anyone tried the snorkelling there b4??can brin some coral home..haha
-
ok i snorke a lot of times liao
but never bring any corals
back
you mean dead or live corals?
but corals are protected in thailand
so bringing them out from phuket
airport might involve some risk
