It's been a few busy days in Koh Phi Phi - a small group of islands in the Andaman sea.
Weather was a bit hit and miss but when the sun came out, the islands just look so beautiful!
First stop was the View point: you walk up a steep hill to see both the bays of the island. It was a bit hard (especially in 30+ degrees heat) but well worth it.
Viewpoint
Another day was occupied by diving: we went to 2 different sites (near the small uninhabited island of Koh Phi Phi Leh)... The visibility was not the best because of the weather but we still saw some catfish, clowfish, cuttlefish and very pretty seastars (one called the crown of thorns!).
We also stopped for lunch in a beautiful stop: in front of Maya bay, where "The Beach" was partly filmed.
Maya Bay - The Beach
All dived out!
Yesterday was out last full on day on the island and the sunniest. We set out for a walk to another beach called "Long Beach". It is a 30mins trek, well signposted but it can get sometimes a bit wild!
We stopped in a small cove for a dip while we were walking around. I love the limestone cliffs coming right out of the sea and the colours!
While walking...
Long beach
I have been really enjoying Phi Phi, the Andaman sea is really beautiful even on the Thai side :-)
Last night was rounded off with a Thai massage (the lady walked all over my legs but it feels so good afterwards), a manicure, a pedicure, seafood dinners and beers and we're on a boat+bus to Bangkok tonight. Cannot wait to get to one of the craziest cities on earth!
