Phi Phi Island is exactly what my mind would conjure up if I tried to imagine a tropical island paradise... and I did not think that anything so magical would actually exist before I visited there for the first time!
I am not thinking alone that way, as the travel report from Anna, who is since yesterday on Phi Phi, shows. The pictures are also from today, courtesy of Siam UK Travel Phi Phi.
From Anna:
So we are mid way through another beautiful day on Koh Phi Phi. Now, after a day of rest we are fully embracing this backpacker beach vibe.
We have eaten at a few great spots - Ciao Bella (a very romantic Italian eatery with candles and tables right on the beach) and Little Britain (a fish and chips place) are our favorites.
We meant to get up first thing this morning and head to the pier where we were going to solicit a longtail boat to take us over to the much smaller Phi Phi Ley (and Maya Bay, the very spot they filmed the movie The Beach - a popular spot, though there is no development there, I don't think). Anyhow, it was rainy all last night and this morning, so we decided to delay that trip until tomorrow. We are here for 2 more days anyhow so one day made no difference.
So we spent the day on the beach in the hot hot sun. It has been decided that Phi Phi is best when it is high tide. Otherwise, at low tide, you have to walk for miles to get to a depth past your knees.
Finished my second book and started my third. Can you tell I am on vacation? Anyhow, must get back to our room with its blessed (and slightly costly) air conditioning for a quick cold shower and an aloe application.
