Easy trips, bright days, big smiles (with me, Pam).

Phuket is beautiful, but it also loves to send me out to sea.
Every morning, it feels like the island says,
“go on, take a boat, have some fun.”

And I do.

This chapter shows all the simple, happy trips I can take from Phuket —
the calm ones, the deep ones, the famous ones, and the silly ones.

The racha collection

(soft, calm, and very blue — my favorite)

Racha

The calm one
Clear water, soft sand, and a slow, peaceful mood.
I float. I breathe. Time slows down.

this place feels like a deep breath.

Racha Noi

The deep-blue one
Further away, quieter, and full of deep water.
I call it “the secret island.”

• best for: people who love the sea
• mood: quiet and deep
• my tip: look at the horizon, it’s beautiful

Racha Scuba Diving

The underwater trip
Colorful coral, friendly fish, and clear water.
I wave at the fish like they know me.

My hair looks wild after this. I don’t mind.

Racha Sunset

The golden trip
Soft light, warm colors, and a slow, dreamy ride back.
I take too many photos. I pretend I’m in a movie.

sunset makes everything feel softer.

The playful picks

(bright, simple, happy islands — pure fun)

Banana

The fun one
Bright water, soft sand, and a name that makes me smile every time.

• best for: easy swimming
• mood: sunny and silly
• my snack: yes, bananas

Ombre

The color-change sea
The water goes from light blue to dark blue like a smooth gradient.
I always say, “the sea is painting.”

Hey

The friendly island
The name feels like it’s calling me.
I always answer, “hey!”

hey… stay a bit longer.

The icons

(famous, far, and unforgettable — my wow list)

Phi Phi

The star
Tall cliffs, bright water, and lots of photos.
I gasp every time, even if I’ve been here before.

Rok

The dream island
White sand, clear water, and amazing snorkeling.
I call it “the postcard island.”

• best for: snorkel lovers
• mood: peaceful and bright
• my warning: other beaches may feel boring after this

Similan

The clear-water king
Big rocks, bright fish, and water so clear I can see everything.
I always say, “this is unreal.”

Surin

The gentle one
Soft reefs, calm waves, and a warm, quiet feeling.
I float and hum little songs.

Khai

The playful one
Shallow water, floaties, and lots of happy noise.
I always end up laughing with strangers.

James Bond

The movie island
Caves, cliffs, and the famous rock from the film.
I tell myself, “stand there, look cool.”
I try. I laugh.

The mood

Tours from phuket are simple joys.
I get on a boat, I see something beautiful,
and I come back with salty hair and a big smile.

These trips make life feel lighter.
The sea washes away everything heavy.

Phuket isn’t just a place to stay.
It’s a place to start.
And every start feels fun when I’m out on the water.
