"It's Dark!"
The boat bobbed in the water, surrounded by darkness above and the black ink below. The pilot had turned off the lights, and we could only see by the stars and the light of the moon. It got quiet as the long tail's motor thudded to a halt. The boat drifted silently, like a ship in outer space.

Trish peered into the deep. "What monsters live down there?", her soft voice rang loud in the stillness. Her eyes sparkled, like stars, as she gazed into my eyes.
"Fire water!", the pilot said, "You dive, you see!"
No one in the boat moved. Nothing would make me step into that dark, cold water. Madness. Besides, I liked it on the boat with Trish, who had her hand on my lap. I could feel her warm breath tickle my neck as she pondered the darkness. I would stay on the boat with Trish.
"Wheeeeeee!" Trish squealed as she jumped into the water.
"SHIT!"
I ran and jumped in too, followed by everyone else. The cold water suddenly burst with brilliant blue light. Tiny sparks of plankton lit up and followed us as we swam, like sentient stars in a magical galaxy. The pilot called it fire water, and laughed at our amazement as we whooped and wowed, suddenly feeling safe as the water fairies danced around us, in luminous shadows of light.

Adventures in Krabi
Spend a few days in Krabi, in the south west of Thailand, before catching a ferry to the adjacent islands. Krabi has plenty to do, including boat rides that take you snorkelling, exploring coves, and night swimming, where bio-luminescent plankton surround you in a fantastic display of light.
The rides take you on a full day adventure, including lunch on different islands, night swimming, and fire eating, if you have the appetite for it.
The beaches on Krabi are not as white as some of the other islands
But Krabi makes up for it with some really cool bars and clubs, where me and Pete had plenty of debates over glasses of beer. Sometimes, the staff will join you too! The reggae bars have some really good live music and amazing staff.
All the travellers in Krabi are friendly and easy to talk to, and it's a great way to make new friends who are heading to the same island as you are. Some good places to check out include Koh Lanta, a nice idyllic island a few hours away, and Koh Phi Phi, a fun tourist trap with pure white beaches.
Krabi is definitely a great place to stop by for a couple of days. The food in the south is different from the north, but it's just as good, and if you're into rock climbing, Krabi has some good spots for you to try.
A lot of good things I heard from Thailand. One of this is all are cheap to be bought and another one is they have a great english accent that will you, lol.
I prefer Gina, that works in a street in Brandoa...she has no teeth, what may seem a defect....but for me it's a gift that opens a whole new world of possibilities.
Yes your right😊👍🏻
Couldn't help myself LOL but the confidence when she knows she may not say words correctly is something.
funny :)
I have been to Thailand and I heard many times of their English action so I am going to watch your video but they are cute though :))
Thailand is such a good tourist destination. Specially their beaches I love them. Water is so clean
Good shots .. The trip seemed fantastic
Great post from you

Thailand have so many tourist spots to boast with, it is one of the paradise in the east. Soon, I will visit Thailand and experience the beauty of their land.

haha, I like the nickname - traveling boy
I saw something very similar when I was Kayaking around an island at night in Thailand(koh wai pakarang) Trat province. I first was really freaked out to see hundreds of what I thought was fish eyes looking at me from beneath the water. Upon deeper inspection I discovered it was the glow from phosphorus.
P.S. If you like night photography stop by my page
Happy journey dear. I also wish to go there and want to enjoy like you
