Phi Phi Island






This is my second day on Phi Phi Island. Yesterday we took a long-tail boat to Long Beach just west of our beach to get away from the hussle and bustle. The water was much clearer there. We went for a swim to cool down and then I hid under a tree out of the sun. Took some nice pics. Must upload these. Later we took a kayak and headed out to sea to watch the sun set. It was just dark when we arrived back to shore. Lots of fun on the way. Roisin tends to kayak at Olympic standards.

There are loads of bars and restaurants in Ton Sai where we are based (very commercialised). Lively night life.

Today Roisin and I went snorkeling to Maya bay. Its was such a laugh. We took a long tail boat. Before we reached the beach he (sailor dude) stopped up, gave us life jackets and snorkeling gear and off we got. All the different fish were amazing. They are such colorful creatures! The lifejacket was strapped between my legs! Slightly uncomfortable you can imagine. The sea got really choppy on the way back. Pitied the people we passed out in the canoes. It cost 900 Baht.

The picture taken of the hotel is in Ton Sai, Phi Phi. A lot of work is going on at the moment restoring old buildings. It looks like they have abandoned this hotel.
