Here we are, our last night in Koh Phi Phi before we take a ferry to Krabi tomorrow morning and all we can think about is the heat! My God, its hot! Everyone said it would be hot but this heat is the type that someone can't articulate. You need to feel it. We arrived in Koh Phi Phi four days ago and luckily managed to score a cheap bungalow more inland for a couple nights. It's called Uphill Cottage. We ended up liking this island so much we decided to stay an extra couple of days. It seems like this entire place is built around tourism, like the whole community revolves around catering to tourists. It's crazy to see.
The first night we were here we wandered to the beach and walked around taking pictures of one of the nicest sunsets you'll ever see in your life. We were getting thirsty so we stumbled upon this little beach hut called "Stones Bar". Here we discoverd the glory of the bucket! This was an amazing experience, lying on beach matts, drinking our buckets, watching professional fire artists whirl and twirl into the wee hours of the night. In the next few mornings that ensued we would get up early, relax and swim at the beach, grab some lunch, come to our bungalow and escape the mid-afternoon heat, then go back to the beach to watch the sunset and recline at the stones bar. We hung out with a cool Canadian couple from Toronto two nights in a row and have met some other interesting characters along the way.
Yesterday we went on a day tour to various parts around the island including Bamboo island, Mosquito Island, Monkey Beach, and Maya Bay, where they shot the film "The Beach". We got to snorkel at various points in between and on our way back caught a storm on the eastern horizon. Just barely made it to our bungalows before some serious rainfall.
The fun and excitement continues in Thailand, so stay tuned for our next blog and enjoy some of these epic pictures as well.
Next stop...Krabi.
