Phi Phi Island

I am back, from Europe! Had plenty of rest these few days and let’s continue the Thailand trip before we go to Germany + Paris.

We spent only 2 days in Phi Phi Island (I told you the resort room rate is expensive and how I wish I could stay for a week). So, we had the first day exploring the resort and on the second day we chartered a long tail boat (which you could find plenty of them in front of the resort) for island hopping. You have the choice to follow a guided island hoping tour by speed boat (arranged by the resort), but I personally prefer a quiet and private one.

The advantage is that I can request the boatman where to stop, with flexibility of stop duration and most importantly, when I go snorkel I see fishes but not people. ^_^

See? Only fishy and me. It’s so cool at that point of time I was having the whole ocean by myself.

Phi Phi island is well preserved and crystal clear water can be seen easily.

Highly recommended stop @ Bamboo Island. Allow the following pictures to explain why. I swear to you they are all original photos from my camera and not from Google. =)

Last but not least, my favorite shot. How do you like it?

Recommended stops @ Phi Phi Island

Phi Phi Island consist and two islands: Phi Phi Don & Phi Phi Le. Phi Phi Don is the larger one of two where you find most of the resorts build on this island. Phi Phi Le, relatively smaller island but less polluted and well preserved is preferably for snorkeling and diving. Neighboring island such as Yoong, Hin Klang & Bamboo shouldn’t be missed too!

1. Yoong Island (also known as mosquito island) – great place for snorkeling

2. Hin Klang – great place for snorkeling

3. Bamboo Island – great place for chilling out at the beach & photo shooting

4. Maya Bay – great place for snorkeling + beach

5. Loh Samah Bay – great place for skin diving
