Searched thru online and found few tour agency in Phuket, emailed and asked the quote from them. First one replied to me, Mr Jesada from JC Tour with brief schedule but complete for the whole package. After a week of email exchanged, finally we agreed on the package eventhough they didn't offer any discount on the price.

Meet at airport by Wahan. On the way to hotel, she helped me to drop by at 7 11 shop to buy new prepaid simcard, phone setting and topup. Reached hotel and after checked in, she explain to me in detail the whole package, do and don't, advice about the island hoping, etc. Such a very nice tour explanation. Thanks to Wahan. At night, we went to dinner and Fantasea show, transfer all arranged by JC Tour. A very good show and nice food plus few games to play, perfect attraction I can say. TIPS: Don't forget to buy Fantasea souvenier before entering the ballroom for the show. If you planning to buy on the way out after the show finished, don't forget like what happened to me. Deep regret. You can't find the same souvenier from Fantasea show elsewhere.
Day 2
Breakfast
After breakfast at hotel, the transporter arrived on time to pickup for islands hopping. We boarded a big double decker boat, very crowded to be precise. Free flow some fruits and soft drink. The tour guide Bob done a really good job. Less than half an hour at James Bond island really a disappointing but thanks to the boat crew who helped became our photographer. Lunch served on board. Nice and enough food for all. After that, we went to other island for canoe. Thanks again for the boat crew who paddled for us. Reached pier around 5pm and we're forced to buy our own photograph taken at the canoe place for THB200. Thanks again Bob and other for the nice islands hopping tour. TIPS: Wear a good slipper will make you walking around comfortable. Transporter sent us back to hotel.
Jungceylon
Day 3
Same breakfast again
After breakfast at hotel, the transporter arrived on time to pick up us for islands hopping again for second day. We boarded speedboat this time and to be precise again, it still overcrowded, hardly any free space to move around. Tour guide, 'Beautiful Lucy' done a really good job. We reached Maya Bay around 11am and spent an hour there, hardly enough time to sight seeing. We passing by Monkey Cage for a quick view and proceeded to Monkey Island for half an hour, just enough time for photograph session. By the time we reached Phi Phi Island, it's 1pm. Lunch served at the hall, nice and enough food for all. Half an hour there, hardly enough to move around. We departed around 2.30 pm for Khai Island. We need to pay THB150 for the umbrella and chair. They served soft drink and fruits. Very crowded island for swim but at least a very nice place to sunbath and relax. On the way back, the tour guide collecting THB100 as a tip for his crews. Is't good practice to bring empty jar and walking around to collect 'forced donation'? You decide. Finally we reached pier around 5pm and once again, we're forced to buy photograph at THB150, and transporter sent us back to hotel. Thanks again 'Beautiful Lucy' for the nice tour.
At night, we went to Bangla Road for souvenier shopping at Finnig shop and had dinner at Ali Baba Restaurant for nice and spicy Indian food. We definately like it.
Day 4
After breakfast at hotel, tour guide 'Baow' came fetched us for sight seeing tour around Phuket. We visited lot of places and around noon, went for an hour elephant trekking and continue with sight seeing and ended with spa treatment. Very nice of Baow that goes all the way to find the halal food for us, eventhough not so many choices available but the effort to find it, I can say THANK YOU BAOW. Late evening, after the spa treament, on the way back to hotel, we went for souvenier shopping again. Thank you again to Baow for another round of halal food recommendation for our dinner.
Thank you Baow
Day 5
After last breakfast, transporter sent us to airport.
After 5days, we left Phuket with very sad emotion. Reason? We don't have enough time to enjoy the tour. Everytime everywhere we need to rush and rush. But at least, a very big appreciation must goes all the way to JC TOURS for fulfilled their promises to make our tour this time a very memorable and perfect holiday in our whole life. Thank you again to Wahan, Baow, Bob and Lucy and other tours guide/crew, and most important, MR JESADA. Keep up the good work and hopefully I can see you again next year.
