Phi phi- day 3 and 4. Scuba / Phucket

We are currently on a ferry from phi phi to pucket so I hope I don't get sea sick .  It's been 2 hours. Phi phi day 3 I had a chance to scuba for the first time.. It was a very cool experience... It's a little bizarre that you are under water 50-60ft and ur breathing through a mask for 45 min straight . Sometimes felt a little claustrophobic but the 2nd dive I got used to it . Our. 2nd dive was actually at maya beach (where they filmed The Beach) .. Got some awesome GoPro footage. Apparently we did level 2 skill diving and I had 2 other females in my group totally 3 people to one instructer.

On the first dive I accidentally touched a venomous poison fish - called a Bearded Scorpionfish (22cm)... That was fun. Luckily I wasn't bit or back to America 

2nd dive I used up all my oxygen ..had about 5-7 minutes left on my gage when we pulled back up .

Now that i know what I'm doing or what to expect id definitely do it again. The rest of the crew went on a long tail boat ride and did a little snorkeling and site seeing around phi phi islands. 

The night life is very similar to a fire island situation where it's a small area and everyone goes to the same spot each night on the beach to play with fire /fire shows and drink buckets with techno music. The main spot is called Slinkys. The whole island sounds like a big techno festival and play music every night til 4am. You can hear the nnts nnts nnts every night vibrating through our rooms. 

Day 4
 Mainly chilled on beach in afternoon rented snorkels and hiked to long beach about a 35 minute hike from main area  . We didn't see too much activity in that spot so we paid for a long tail to take us about a quarter mile out to a place where you can potentially see reef sharks. Came up empty but still saw some good stuff rainbow fish etc.

After this experience Wolff Levin and I went to the phi phi viewing point to watch the sunset. It was magical. It was a hike.. Came back and hit a wall. 

I stayed in last night to rest up for what Lies ahead. I wasn't feeling that great. Everyone else went out so I had a bit of fomo. I tried putting on my headphones and listening to soothing music to knock me out but instead I found myself listening to the techno remix of Coldplay . All I can hear in the background is the nnts nnts nnts nnts nnts . Took a sleeping pill and passed out. 


Tonight we will experience Phucket- land of the Ping ping shows, Thai prostitutes, guns and potentially a nice dinner. 

Rumor has it Steve is participating in the Ping pong shows tonight . 


Also I got my laundry done and my first name  was apparently lost in translation to "Prik" see below.
