After spending a few fun-filled days in Phuket, it was once again time for us to pick up our packs and move on to our next destination. After a two hour ferry ride we arrived at the jaw-dropping isles of Koh Phi Phi (The Phi Phi Islands).
We spent our first day on Koh Phi Phi enjoying the sand, surf and sun. However, since we were a little “beached-out” (after about 2 weeks of sun-soaking), we decided to spice things up a little and have a go at ocean kayaking. We spent three hours in our small kayak battling the sea. We were able to make it about half the distance of the north island. At one point we made it into a secluded cove, but thought that we might have to spend the night there because the waves were just too powerful After some careful planning and teamwork our little kayak came through for us and took us back to our beach safe and sound.
Our second day on Koh Phi Phi was spent in a unique way. We, along with 6 other travelers, hired a long-tail boat and driver to take us for a 7 ½ boat ride around both Koh Phi Phi Lei and Koh Phi Phi Don (the 2 distinct islands which make up Koh Phi Phi). This may have been our best idea to date! Our driver took us to some of the best snorkeling sites, including Shark Bay, where we were able to jump of the boat and explore the ocean. Some of the fish and coral that we saw were magnificent! Our driver also took us to Monkey Island, where we were greeted by hungry monkeys which appeared in the trees overhead and met us on the sand. We spent some time feeding and playing around with them, they seemed to like us just as much as we liked them! Our last stop on the tour was Maya Bay, the infamous beach from the movie “The Beach”. It was breathtaking! It's easy to see why this place is considered by many to be the prettiest place on earth!
Upon returning from our excursion, we spent the night in a little café watching “The Beach” while on “The Beach's” beach (we just couldn't resist). From there we decided to treat our weary bones (it's hard work being a traveler!) to a relaxing Thai massage. Although a little unusual (there was a lot of poking and hitting involved) we left feeling rejuvenated and ready to go to our next destination... Malaysia!
