Ko Phi Phi

So excited about the prospect of Phi Phi and even the boat ride in, didn’t disappoint, it was absolutely beautiful! Such a picturesque island, limestone casts rising out of the turquoise blue sea and white sand, it was easy to see why it was chosen to be the setting for “The Beach”.

We spent the majority of our time on the island exploring the amazing beaches, the sea was so warm there the swimming was out of this world! There were some excellent restaurants on the island too so we were more than happy to feed our growing love of Thai food.

One of the days we went on a boat trip around the island and to Ko Phi Phi Lei (the smaller Phi Phi island). That was a really great day but so long, we were out all day until sunset with only a fried rice to keep us ticking over – fair to say we needed a bit more fuel than that! It was lovely though, the snorkeling was amazing and all the little islands were beautiful. The highlight of the day was stopping in Maya Bay (where “The Beach” was actually filmed), Ben and I kayaked to the beach and then went snorkeling in the bay – although I did see a really scary fish, it may have been an eel actually – really freaked me out! As a whole I would strongly recommend Phi Phi, it really is the most beautiful of them all!
