The next day we caught an early morning flight to the beautiful city of
Phuket. The flight was amazing! As the flight between Bangkok and Phuket

was a short one, the plane flew at a low altitude. As the plane was flying

low, we could see islands sprinkled all around the ocean. Most of the
islands were full of trees and looked like a green carpet from the sky. We

saw huge cruise ships docked at the Phuket port before landing and they

looked extremely tiny from the window of our plane. It was a very

picturesque flight. After landing at Phuket, we took a cab to our hotel.
Phuket is a very happening city during the evenings. The tuk-tuks had

mood-lighting and played loud music. There were huge malls and beautiful

beaches in Phuket. The next day we took a speed boat to Phi Phi island. A

little before reaching Phi Phi island the captain of our boat announced that
we could go for a swim. I thought we had reached a beach but when I

looked out, all I could see was water around the boat. On asking the

captain of the boat where we could swim, he replied, “Young man, grab
your life-jacket and jump into the sea.” I was shocked to hear this. I

grabbed my life-vest and jumped into the blue water.
