As easy as it was to sit around the resort, there was too much around us to ignore. We wanted to see Maya Bay where they filmed “The Beach” and we wanted to explore what else this area had to offer. We stopped by the hotel’s activity desk but nothing jumped out at us, plus we knew that if we booked it through the hotel, it would be much more expensive. I noticed in the small village behind the hotel, there were several local places selling tours. I approached one of them and Mote, the owner stopped arranging snorkeling gear to talk to us.
Mote was pretty lad back and very friendly. He pointed out a handwritten piece of paper of what they saw that day – Turtles, sharks, starfish, and “a lot of fish”. Next to it was another piece of paper that listed out the destinations of his tour: Maya Bay (The Beach), Palong Bay (Turtle Bay), Loh Sama, Pileh Lagoon, the viking cave and Monkey Beach. I felt really good about booking a tour with Mr. Mote but he was sold out the following day (9 passengers max). We booked for the day after. We weren’t disappointed.
So today was Mr. Mote Day. I cannot put all of the pictures on one page so I will divide by each of the stops. Sophon and I had a great time. I would go back and book the exact same tour again.
