Ko Phi Phi, Thailand
After
a bus ride and ferry ride we had arrived in Ko Phi Phi! We found a
hostel right away with the help of a local. We stayed at the Scenery
Guesthouse. It may sound nice and luxurious but the biggest flaw it had
was no air conditioning. You would think this would be ok in March but
March and April are Thailand's hottest months of the year. Needless to
say is was some hot, sticky, sweaty sleep. The next day we got up and
went on a boat cruise around the island. The boat first took us to
Monkey Beach where we feed monkeys out of the palm of our hand. We then
went cliff jumping. I had been cliff jumping before in Boracay so I was
expecting something similar. We then get to a literal cliff not all
dolled up with diving boards and lifeguards like the one in Boracay. We
then had to put on climbing shoes to climb the cliff that we would be
jumping from. It was actually quite difficult. I then jumped off and
landed wrong of course. I was not injured just a big smack on the butt.
It then was black , blue and purple for the next few days. After cliff
jumping we headed to Viking Cave. We then went to Maya Beach which is
where the movie "The Beach" was filmed. We got to get out swim around
and even started up a soccer game on the beach. It was absolutely
beautiful. We then started to head home but on the way back we used a
sea jacuzzi. It is just like a big net off the side of the boat that you
could sit in as you coast through the ocean. As we headed home we
watched a beautiful sunset while eating dinner on the boat. The next day
we just relaxed on the beach. The tide was really low so you had to
walk out pretty far out and step over a lot of coral to finally get to
waist high water. Not the best beach of the trip but a beach
nonetheless. We had to soak it in because the next day we would be
heading out of paradise and making our way to Bangkok.
