Phi Phi Island

With only a few days left to capture the entire ensense of Thaland we decided on Thursday that a visit to Phi Phi Island was a must!

The island is recognized as having some of the most amazing beaches in the world. It offers scuba diving, snorkelling, rock climbing and of course playing on the beach..
During the day when the tided is out you can walk out into the sea for what seems like miles. Sand like silk and water clear, emerald blue, what a great place to soak up the sun. Of course working on the tan was a must!!
The entire island is truly an tourist haven. Small cobblestone roads are lined with shops and food kiosks. Mercahnts use oversized wheel barrows to transport goods and tourist's baggage from place to place. NO cars here. The town is like a small maze and fortunately we had friends to show us around.

Sitting on the beach with friends from England we found "Pail" drinks, that once empty were great for making sand castles. Too much fun and certainly not enough time too experience all the island has to offer.

The ferry leaves Phi Phi at 3:30, which meant we had to leave much earlier than hoped, but it is low tided and the ferries are unable to dock in Krabi later in the evening so home to AO Nang we went.

Just meant more time for dinner and drinks at the resort. Oh the challenge of the traveller!!
