Waiting for our speed boat to Raya Island
An hour of bumpy ride to Coral Island
The husband is excited, cant wait to meet the fishes

 Oh no, a bad sign... Coral in phuket is experiencing bleaching
Black-white sea urchin
Endless supply of sea urchin
Spot some cute angel fish
Sun tanning
The little friend of the husband
Waiting for lunch
We didnt have buffet, but something better... :)
More friends to the gang
Jello on the shore
On the way to Raya island
Floating platform, we have to run! Speed boat stop at small Raya as the waves hitting the main Raya coast are too strong..
Chargeable seats at small Raya... we decided to follow our group members to ditch small Raya and ..
Here we come.. main Raya coast
The wave is so huge... apparently there is no way for snorkeling to go..
The husband taught me a new way to enjoy wave...
We will just stand there and let the wave wash us away!!! It is choking (if the sea water rush into your nose) but so FUN!!!
 Resort in Raya island
North East Asian vs South East Asian
Back to wash up in hotel, then drove out to Patong beach for some happening
A recommended restaurant from the guide book, Patong seafood since 1979..  Honestly, we prefer food in Bangkok than Phuket, Phuket  food tend to be slightly spicy and stronger in flavor...
Horribly overpriced prawns... about $10SGD/100g.. *a single prawn would weight abt 200g*
Am craving for fatty oyster that i missed on Hilton brunch, but these cute babies here disappointed me...  They are fat and chewy but tasteless... serious.. i never tried any oyster is as bland as this! Imported oyster (probably from Aussie) are so better than this..
Phat Thai, appear to be more moist and sweeter than the one they have in Bangkok
 Spicy herb mussel soup .. way too spicy for us..
 Pineapple rice
 Fresh fish i picked from the front counter, deep fry it and to be serve with Thai mango slice
 Bill came out to be around SGD$50, reasonable but wasnt a meal to remember..
 Spotted a WV bar along the road...
 The happening patong street lined up with topless bar, flashy bar, "agua" (transvestite) bar, muay thai bar and everything you can think of..
 One that shock everyone.. This trans ladyboy here is flashing his/her skirt flashing every part of her body, she even did a leg split -.-" *gross*
Went for our free massage (thanks to the voucher by Thailand Tourism board in SG) at Let's Relax in Patong
 Classy... Basic Thai massage here charge up about 500thb/per hour
End the day with a cup of warm tea
