In Phuket for instance, you may find the Manta Ray, the gigantic stingray that lives around the Phi Phi island, a neighbouring island of Phuket. Tioman on the other hand, offers sea creatures like turtles (you may also find Dolphin in certain area) as well as ship wrecks for you to practice your underwater orientation.

There are a lot of dive centers to choose with competitive prices, so the best thing to do is to compare the rates before making any decision on which dive center to choose. There are also a lot of budget chalets/hotels if you are there just for the sake of diving.

You may spend the night after enjoying your dive to hang out at the beach bars that offer plenty of night entertainment and drinks. And for those who are constantly connected, you may upload your underwater photos to your social network sites and share them with your friends and family.

Internet cafes are now getting cheaper compared to the last 5 years and don’t be surprise to find high speed broadband being offered in some of the cafes. You may just log in to your Facebook or even play your favourite poker games such as the online texas hold em.

Light transportation such as bicycle are popular in these two islands and you could rent it to move from your room to your dive center or just tour around the island along the sea shore.

And interestingly, they are not just love to play soccer (or also known as football) during their spare time, but they also watch famous football leagues such as EPL or English Premier League – the most watched league in the world of soccer. I would say they never missed a single match, although the time difference may require them to wake up as early as 2am to watch the live telecast.

And if that may have sounds crazy, imagine the collection of merchandises filled in their room. From posters, jerseys, magazines, mugs and badge buttons – they have almost any memorabilia of their favourite team. On top of that, they’re also actively participate in Sports Betting, just to prove their enthusiasm in soccer.

Their favourite teams include Manchester United, Arsenal, Chelsea and Liverpool. And if you have never heard of these teams, then probably you’ve just came out from a jungle after staying away from the civilization for decades. These premium teams worth hundreds of millions if not billions. And this multi-millions industry has really changed the players’ life, from zero to hero. Just imagine a single player transfer may cost up to few hundred millions dollar.

All in all, albeit not really a big fan of soccer, I really admire the ‘craziness’ that this sports has created to billions of fans worldwide. It has somehow unites the mankind and you can easily observe this during the World Cup.
