Adventure of Phuket - PhiPhi Island

We plan this adventure starting from middle of 2006. It's the first time we are saying the same destination which is Thailand. We'd like to go there to know about Phuket which is known as the cheapest shopping ever in Asia beside KL. We also plan to visit Phi-Phi island as the island for the movie maker which is The Beach. The place known as the goddess island in Thai. We plan this adventure only for the 3 of us because one of my friend cancel to join us because he just bought his camera and it worth same as our budget for this journey. Poor him! But, lately I'm glad that he bought the camera because whenever we travel around he brought that and I'm the one whose being his model and object for each picture. Glad to know when the picture are nice to see and all were wonderful picture ever.
We decide to go on October, before everyone are busy with fasting and new year. And the first thing came up in mind, we don't want to travel when holiday comes! Never do that certainly because it will not worth with the holiday themes that we want which are relax and shopping.
My travelling friends this time are Rose and Marry. We are going with a budget that we earn and kept a year from our work and family. Of course we still need money from family that they gave us before we go for our travel time, even it only $200 but it will help us much when we need for the transportation.
Then we have asking to many agent travel and it's a coincidence that Puri just open their travel exhibition. Finally, the last discussion coming to Tara Tour, as Marry's family agent and mine too. They offered some package price and premium offered because it's only the 3 of us and they allowed us to have our own tour guide there with an additional charge of course. We decide to go by by Lion Air which is cheapest than Garuda because including insurance also.
But, God not in our side. We are not allowed to go there! So sad to hear and so stressing when we know that we have to loose $100 for the cancellation ticket because they have to pay to the hotel that they booked before and it was nice hotel from the brochure we read. We have to cancel our travel for our safety since they just changing the new government there and makes some tourist are not safe anymore for the time being.
Can you imagine? Thailand, Phuket, Bangkok, Phi-Phi island and all the beaches that we are through. Arrgghhhh... I'm wondering, what the taste like when we sit in the cough beside the resort in the beach and drink some punch fruit juice with some lemonade on it pair with some fruit from that island. Wow!!!!!
It's so sad and a bit of embarrassing also! We already announced to everyone that we are going to Thai and like to play sport water in Phi-Phi Island. Yeah, maybe the luck not in our side for that time.
All the money that we give to the agent not completely use up. We plan to another place which is almost same like our budget before which are KL - Sing! Yipi... I never go to KL before even one of my friend did. So, wait for the story of my travel time with my girl friends and it was so adventuring!
