, Ton Sai Village Ko Phi Phi Don, Thailand, 075613001
Koh Phi Phi has the reputation of being the most beautiful of all of Thailand's islands. Unfortunately, it’s also has the reputation of being "spoiled by tourism." After spending a few days there, I’d say that both assessments are pretty accurate. In fact, of all the beach destinations McNeill and I visited in southern Thailand, I think it was my least favorite. Stepping off the ferry on Koh Phi Phi around noon on Thursday, August 27, we were greeted by dozens of touts eager to o...
Ko Phi Phi Don, Thailand mcmactravelsWe arrived in Ko Phi Phi after an hour and a half ferry boat from Krabi across the beautiful blue Andaman sea with our feet hanging over the edge of the boat enjoying the breeze. We left our baggage with an attendant and decided to have a good look around the area for somewhere to stay and were instantly met by a huge crowd of touts trying to pull in tourists for their hotel or guest house. Phi Phi it seems has suffered greatly for it's fame since the filming of "The Beach" from huge numbers ...
Ko Phi Phi Don, Thailand pixelchickPhuket liegt hinter uns und wir sind nach etwa 90 Minuten mit einem Speedboot auf Kho Phi Phi gelandet. Fuer alle die von der Insel noch nichts gehoert haben. Hier, aber noch viel mehr auf einer kleinen unbewohnten Nachbarinsel wurden Aufnahmen zum Film "The Beach" gemacht. Beim Einlaufen in den Hafen waren wir schon sehr begeistert von dem paradiesischen Anblick der Bucht. Fuer Sonne, Strand und Palmen wird es jetzt auch langsam Zeit. Doch die erste Freude verflog schnell, als wir nicht wie ...
Kho Phi Phi, Thailand sanctipauliOK, time for my triumphant return to Koh Phi Phi island. But this time I will be 100%. Besides, it is my birthday...well at the point in time this blog takes place anyways. ------ As you may recall, Nadia, Mel, Kris & myself visited Koh Phi Phi at the beginning of November when I first arrived in Thailand. I was still battling a cold from back home, along with new food bacteria & the massive temperature change, I was sick much of our time on Phi Phi. Different story this time around. ...
Ko Phi Phi Don, Thailand wally09... como en una banera. hace mas frio afuera que dentro del agua. Aqui no vamos a poder bucear! pero nos sentamos en la banera ;) y seguimos la puesta del sol y desde la playa la musica... creo que no he vivido algo tan impresionante, romantico, y tranquilo.<br>Por la noche descubrimos las callecitas que estan llenos de gente joven... me pregunta un chico si soy espanola, que emocion, y me dice que se me nota el accento madrileno, es de barcelona. mas ...

Ko Phi Phi Don, Thailand arikandcharis... we opted to try a bit more snorkelling (which wasn't very good) and then sunbathe for a while. The final island was a well known and very picturesque island called Hong. We both got pretty sunburnt and were feeling like a day out of the sun might be called for. Went to an indian restaurant for dinner and a couple of beers. Day 9 - We decide to have a lazy day out of the sun today. We spend the morning lying by the pool in the shade and then go into Ao-nang where ...
Krabi, Thailand mel07pinkI ended up staying in a place just outside of Krabi called Ao Nang, which is one of the thousands of beaches lining the coast. My bungalow ended up being quite far from the actual beach, which to me, completely defeats the purpose of a bungalow! It was nice overall, aside from the 15 minute walk multiple times, every day, I guess I can't just lay there and do nothing EVERY day. Actually ...
Krabi, Thailand brettpaton... pool at this hotel was really amazing as it had an unobstructed view of the East bay, which was a really desolate beach with white sand and crystal blue waters. Needless to say, Rachel enjoyed the view while I was gone. I left and got the bright idea of getting a bicycle to ride around to all of the hotels to get the best deal. In my search for a bicycle a tall man wearing a full-on tux passed by me with a smile in 90 degree weather and humid. I thought he was wearing the tux ...
Ko Phi Phi Don, Thailand ramrtw... of fear, they have heard bombs going off in the city, and soldier are shot at every day. She suggested I do not continue south. There are of course back packers that go to these places to see for themselves what a city under martial law looks like. When I was in India I met 2 former Israeli soldiers in their early 20's that went to the Indian Pakistani border (Jamue Kashmir province) just to see how India handles a war zone. This kind of experience has some inherent ...
