Phenomenal Phuket

Phuket + Phi Phi Islands + Phang Nga Bay, Thailand - February 21, 2019
A trip to Thailand is definitely on the bucket list of every Indian and I was fortunate to do this on my 23rd birthday. The plan was pretty spontaneous with all of us getting leave from work during the same time. In the short 6 days trip we covered all the major tourist spots - Phuket, Krabi and Bangkok.

Yeh Phang Nga Bay, mera hai and main yahan ka Jaikant Shikre!

Phenomenal Phuket. MemExp Blog. Rohan Goel Pileh Lagoon - The pristine crystal clear waters surrounded by green mountains provided the perfect setting for birthday dive into the sea. The super salty waters make it easy to swim.

Phenomenal Phuket. MemExp Blog. Rohan Goel I so much wish we had time and money to do scuba diving, but alas, only snorkelling it was... which was worth every penny though.
