Koh Phi Phi (sounds like pee pee), Thailand

Arrival: 03/04/09 10:00am

Departure: 03/06/09 at 12:00pm

Sight Seeing: Beach

People: Friendly

Food: Delicious

Accommodations: US Guesthouse ($20, it's expensive)

Pictures: Pictures of Thailand

Summary: Koh Phi Phi is aptly named for all the young beautiful drunks taking in the nightlife. The only way to get around the island is by boat as there are no roads. The main pier where Adam and I were dropped off is where most visitors stay and enjoy the beach, shopping, and food and drink of course. Face one direction and you'll see the pier and it's dark blue waters, do a 180 and you'll see the other side of the island and a shallow turquoise bay. A small stretch of land literally connects the islands. To take it all in, check out the breathtaking view point, a well worth 75 flights of stairs straight up, that will give you views of both sides of the water. The 2004 Tsunami almost completely wiped out Koh Phi Phi, but things are back to business now. There's not much to do but lay out in the sun or watch fellow sun burned travelers apply sunscreen. Not a bad life eh?
